World junior welterweight champion Shakur Stevenson (pictured) on X: "Just rewatched my fight, Teo [Teofimo Lopez] is a really good fighter, great boxing skills. I just made him look that way [overmatched] because of my skills but other guys wouldn’t make him look like that! My jab, my defense, my IQ. I’m just on another level out of this world. Also my ability to capture the moment is underrated. A lot of guys get under the bright lights and crumble. But I’m build for moments like that."

 

WBC interim lightweight champion Lamont Roach: "Obviously the best fight at 135 pounds is me vs Shakur Stevenson! Whether it’s next or not, [it] will be great that night. Salute champ, you a bad man!

 

Stevenson: "Yesssir bro U is too. Respect for not moving like a goofy for clout... [salute] We gonna make it happen for sure!! May the best man win."
