A boxing commentator, who goes by the social media handle 2ToneDaSupastar, found himself in hot waters with Gervonta Davis not so long ago. But to make matters worse, Shakur Stevenson has now banned the commentator, following suit. However, the question is, how did it all begin?
Everything started when Errol Spence Jr. was ringside during the Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora fight. After Fundora’s surprise victory, Spence wanted to fight him for the WBC and WBO belts. However, 2ToneDaSupastar suggested Spence should fight Davis as a tune-up fight. This, of course, enraged Davis, who responded by stating, “Ima beat yo fat a** when I catch you, omm.” Regardless, it still didn’t answer the question: Why did Shakur Stevenson ban him from his fights as well?
Boxing commentator insists on Shakur Stevenson running it back
Boxing commentator 2ToneDaSupastar threw some shade today, suggesting that certain fighters, perhaps including Shakur Stevenson, like to boast about their skills but crumble under pressure. Stevenson, clearly not a fan of this critique, fired back accusing 2Tone of bias.
Undeterred, 2Tone referenced Edwin De Los Santos, Stevenson’s last opponent against whom he suffered to earn a decisive win, hinting that perhaps Stevenson should have a rematch and focus on proving himself in the ring rather than arguing with the commentator.
When Stevenson questioned why the commentator thought other fighters shouldn’t have to have a rematch while Stevenson should, 2ToneDaSupastar wrote, “You think everyone [is] trolling when they criticize you for not running back with Edwin? That [Edwin fight is about your] legacy.” Following some responses from other fans, the commentator reiterated, “We [want to] see it, bro.” This angered Shakur Stevenson who then responded by stating to the commentator, “Don’t come to no fights, fat man.”
While Stevenson is clearly not willing to fight De Los Santos for a rematch, he has promised a spectacular showing in his next fight.
Stevenson to face German professional boxer
According to Mike Coopeninger from ESPN, Stevenson is slated to fight Artem Harutyunyan on July 6 in Stevenson’s hometown of Newark, New Jersey. The fight will have ‘Sugar’ Stevenson’s WBC lightweight title on the line, but nothing has been officially announced. Despite that, Stevenson has dropped hints about his performance in the next fight.
In a tweet, Stevenson wrote, “We could fast-forward time to July 6th. Lol, I’m in Grind mode. [I have] been feeling like myself in the gym every day, and I’m not even in fight shape. He better bring everything he [has because] I’m coming to get him.” This fight will mark Stevenson’s last fight as part of Top Rank Promotions as he transitions into a free agent.
With that said, it looks like 2ToneDaSupastar will have to miss out on several blockbuster fights from Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis. However, the bigger question is, will Shakur Stevenson be able to redeem himself in his upcoming fight?
