Shakur (20-0, 10 KOs) wants this WBC 135-lb belt to assist him additional his aim of getting a battle with Gervonta Davis.

Given how a lot effort Shakur has put into speaking up fights with Haney & Tank Davis, he was in all probability instructed by his promoters at Prime Rank to give attention to them moderately in the course of the promotion than his less-known opponent De Los Santos.

Yeah, it’s troubling to see a man like Shakur utilizing trickery to get followers keen on his match in opposition to De Los Santos by clout-chasing widespread fighters like Gervonta & Haney, who by no means battle, however that technique works.
