00:00Let's make it happen. You don't need to keep talking. Let's make it happen.
00:03Okay? Daddy, I want her.
00:07He's cool. He's cool. He's cool. I got her.
00:11Okay? He's cool.
00:13He will know he's been in a fight. He'll go home sore and broken.
00:18He'll know he's been in a fight.
00:19Are you willing to agree to that rehydration clause?
00:22You can't make excuses already. You're going to come up with the big boys.
00:25Come up with the big boys.
00:26So how does the fight happen? Because he's too small? Otherwise...
00:29Well, then, ask that to him. But don't be talking sh** in the ring and then want to come up with something.
00:33Thank you, kind of. Thank you.
00:35Hey, Shakur. Wembley. Locked in. Be ready.
00:41You want the rehydration clause? You've got to pay.
00:45Yeah? I still smashed your a**.
00:48First fight down at 147 in three years.
00:52And I'll still give it to you.
00:55After dominating Lopez to become a four-division world champion,
00:58Shakur Stevenson called out Conor Ben,
01:01challenging Ben to face him under the same rehydration clause as Chris Eubank Jr.
01:06Yeah, you don't see me.
01:07I'm not seeing you.
01:09Don't see me. Let's make it happen.
01:11Let's make it happen.
01:12Let's make it happen.
01:13Let's make it happen.
01:14Let's make it happen.
01:15Tell me, I keep talking.
01:16Let's f***** happen.
01:17Go on, go on, go on, go on.
01:18Okay?
01:19Daddy, I'm going home.
01:21We're ready.
01:21We're ready.
01:22We're ready.
01:22We're ready.
01:22We're ready.
01:22We're ready.
01:22We're ready.
01:22We're ready.
01:22We're ready.
01:23Ben responded by poking at Stevenson's size,
01:26telling him he was too small and that he couldn't punch.
01:29He said that he won't accept a rehydration limit for a potential fight with Stevenson,
01:33which has become a key sticking point in negotiations.
01:35Great fighter.
01:37Phenomenal fighter.
01:39Boring, but he's a future pound for pound great.
01:42Do you know what I mean?
01:43He's a good fighter, but boring.
01:45Were you surprised at all that the cards were what they were and that it was such?
01:48I was surprised.
01:49I was surprised.
01:50He made the fight look as easy as he did.
01:53Very surprised.
01:54Credit to him.
01:55What do you think about his call out, Connor?
01:57He can get it.
01:57You think I'm worried?
01:59Yeah.
01:59He will know he's been in a fight.
02:01He'll go home sore and broken.
02:03He'll know he's been in a fight.
02:04Are you willing to agree to that rehydration clause?
02:08I can't make excuses already.
02:09If you want to come up with the big boys, come up with the big boys.
02:12So how does the fight happen?
02:13Because he's too small otherwise?
02:14Well, then ask that to him.
02:16But don't be talking shit in the ring and then want to come up with something.
02:19Thank you, Connor.
02:21Shakur Stevenson said he wants to do big things in boxing and isn't afraid of challenges.
02:26Addressing critics who claim he's too short to fight Connor Ben,
02:30Shakur confidently stated that he'll prove them wrong.
02:33I'm into big fights.
02:34I like big fights.
02:35I like big money fights.
02:36I like proving that I'm the best.
02:38And I like doing things that people say I can't do.
02:41There's a lot of people that will say that I'm too little for Connor Ben and I can't do it.
02:45So it makes for a tremendous fight.
02:48It's going to be a good beef.
02:49I like the beef.
02:50I like the story behind it.
02:52And it's a tremendous fight.
02:53I just wanted to follow up on the Connor Ben conversation.
02:55I saw him after the fight and I just asked him.
02:57I said, hey, would you agree to that rehydration clause?
03:00And he said, F no.
03:01So my question for you is, how does that fight get made then?
03:05If he's not going to agree, then we probably don't fight.
03:08So he's just wasting time.
03:10We'll see.
03:11But I'm a businessman at the end of the day.
03:14And like I said, he did a rehydration clause with Chris Eubank.
03:19Chris Eubank was in the ring half dead.
03:21Why can't he do the same thing?
03:23He also said the buildup to a potential fight with Connor Ben is going to be a good beef.
03:27He's excited about the rivalry, teasing fans with the drama and intensity that could make
03:32the matchup even more thrilling inside and outside the ring.
03:36It's going to be a good beef.
03:37I like the beef.
03:38I like the story behind it.
03:40And it's a tremendous fight.
03:50Shakur, Kevin Garcia.
03:51I just wanted to follow up on the Connor Ben conversation.
03:54I saw him after the fight and I just asked him, I said, hey, would you agree to that rehydration
03:58clause?
03:59And he said, F no.
04:00So my question for you is, how does that fight get made then?
04:04If he's not going to agree, then we probably don't fight.
04:06So he's just wasting time.
04:08We'll see.
04:09But I'm a businessman at the end of the day.
04:12And like I said, he did a rehydration clause with Chris Eubank.
04:17Chris Eubank was in the ring half dead.
04:19Why can't he do the same thing?
04:22Ben recently called Shakur boring, implying he finds his fighting style unexciting.
04:27Ben criticized Shakur's approach in the ring, suggesting it lacks aggression or flair, which
04:32he feels makes fights predictable.
04:34Listen, he's a great fighter.
04:35You know, and he's a future pound for pounder.
04:37But ultimately, he's boring as fuck.
04:40I mean, oh my gosh.
04:42Boring.
04:43But he's, um, he's a great fighter.
04:46Depends what you like to watch.
04:47I like entertainment.
04:48I like value for money.
04:49Did you not think that it was a dominant performance?
04:52It's sh**ly dominant.
04:52It's sh**ly dominant.
04:54It doesn't mean it was exciting or entertaining.
04:56So is that not a fight that you would want?
04:58Because I know you want to be tight.
04:58We can do it next.
04:59No problem.
05:01If he wants it next, he can have it.
05:02He ain't going to call me out.
05:03You know, I'm hearing this.
05:04I'm hearing this.
05:05I'm sitting.
05:06Do you know what I mean?
05:07Why are you levels above in your opinion then?
05:09It's not even levels above.
05:10He's a smaller man and I'd use that to my advantage.
05:12I'm too explosive and I punch a lot harder.
05:15Look, earlier I saw you with Rolly Romero.
05:17It got a bit heated in front of me.
05:19What happened there?
05:19I'm not quite sure.
05:24I'm not quite sure, but I'm just on smoke.
05:27Is that the fight you want next then?
05:28Unless then all of them can get it.
05:30I'll come over here and fight them all over here.
05:32You said yesterday that that was the fight that you wanted to make
05:36and on the red carpet you were saying to him,
05:37let's make it now.
05:38I believe Ryan Garcia is the fight to make,
05:40but if that fight don't materialize,
05:42listen, I ain't sure of options.
05:44Eddie Hearn has fueled speculation
05:46and expressed optimism about the fight,
05:48but the key will be terms, timing,
05:51and both fighters agreeing on weight
05:52and contractual conditions.
05:54I was fully confident he'd win the fight.
05:56I didn't think he'd win it as widely as that.
05:58It made him look average in there.
05:59And that's because Shakur is so good.
06:00His IQ is so good.
06:02His footwork is so good.
06:03I actually think he could have stopped here,
06:04but didn't need to.
06:05It was so easy.
06:06He's a four division world champion
06:07at 28 years of age.
06:09Phenomenal.
06:09I think sometimes people think that you,
06:11you know, Tio can do a little bit more,
06:13but like every time he tried to,
06:14he was just getting countered, peppered.
06:16And yeah, it was phenomenal to watch.
06:18I still dream of Conor Benn winning a world title.
06:21He also squared off with Roley Romero tonight.
06:23There's another potential fight.
06:25His Excellency talked about a Ryan Garcia fight in September.
06:28Shakur's, you know,
06:29these guys are DMing each other,
06:30saying let's fight.
06:31So we'll see.
06:32The plans are well and truly underway for Conor,
06:34and hopefully we can get that fight locked in for me.
06:35Conor, like, as soon as he heard his name,
06:37he was straight in there.
06:38So that's what you get from me.
06:39As I always say,
06:41it's on site with Conor Benn,
06:42and looking forward to getting his next fight over the line.
06:45Edgar Berlanga expressed his excitement,
06:47saying he wants to see Shakur Stevenson face Conor Benn in London.
06:51He believes it would be a huge fight for fans and a major event,
06:54highlighting both fighters' skills and marketability.
06:57Berlanga clearly sees it as a high-profile,
06:59must-watch matchup.
07:01Shakur Stevenson, what do you make of his performance this evening?
07:04B-T-A.
07:06Easy work, man.
07:07My brother did his thing.
07:08I'm proud of him.
07:09Look, people did have him as a favourite going in,
07:11but he dominated that fight.
07:13Super.
07:13Emphatic.
07:14I texted him that last night.
07:15I said, go in there and just dominate him,
07:17and that's exactly what he did.
07:18You know, shout-out to Shakur.
07:20You know, he did his thing,
07:21and I'm proud of him.
07:22There's a lot of talk about him
07:23and the pound-for-pound list.
07:24Where does that put him now?
07:25One of the greats.
07:27Future great, for sure.
07:28Future legend.
07:29Last one for you.
07:30We saw Conor Benn get in the ring.
07:31They had a bit of a heated round there.
07:32That's gonna be a good one, man.
07:33They gotta do that in London.
07:34Is that a fight you wanna see, though?
07:35Hell yeah.
07:36Conor Benn is my brother, too, man.
07:38So that'll be a goodie right there, you know?
07:40Who's gonna win that fight, then?
07:42I don't know.
07:42No comment.
07:43Those are my brothers, man.
07:44They're gonna make a lot of money, that's for sure.
07:46Trainer Wally Moses has weighed in
07:48on the idea of rehydration clauses,
07:50explaining they are designed to prevent fighters
07:53from regaining a lot of weight
07:54after the official weigh-in,
07:56which stops one boxer from entering the ring
07:58with a big-size advantage over the other.
08:00Stevenson has tied a potential fight
08:01with Conor Benn to such a clause,
08:03noting that Benn agreed to it
08:05in his fights with Chris Eubank Jr.,
08:07and saying it helps keep things fair.
08:09While Moses hasn't publicly broken down
08:11Benn's skills versus Stevenson's
08:13in major news sources,
08:14his training philosophy emphasizes
08:16strong defense and technical skill,
08:18areas where he clearly believes
08:20Stevenson has an edge over opponents.
08:22Anymore, what weight would you like to see
08:24Shakur campaign up moving forward?
08:25He's flirted with going back to 135,
08:27the Conor Benn fight's been talking about a lot.
08:29I'm finished business at 135,
08:31and, you know, the 130 Conor Benn and all that,
08:34those things are things that he wants.
08:36See, the one thing is,
08:37Shakur will take on any task.
08:39He don't like a challenge.
08:40He loves a challenge,
08:41so anybody challenge him,
08:43he can get it.
08:43You're lucky he didn't have to fight
08:45Anthony Joshua.
08:46He didn't challenge him.
08:47Conor Benn, it sounds like, you know,
08:49they got, went after it a little bit,
08:50which is great, right?
08:51I mean, it kind of builds up something,
08:52but that's another weight class, right?
08:54Another seven pounds.
08:55It's another weight class,
08:56but, you know, when I seen Conor Benn,
08:58you know, just now, you know,
08:59he came up here with the aspect,
09:02like he's a really big guy,
09:03but he's not a really big guy, you know,
09:06so I don't want people to think
09:08he got so much power, he's so strong, you know.
09:11He's not no killer, you know what I'm saying?
09:13Seem like a killer to you.
09:15Eddie Hearn discussed the potential Conor Benn
09:18versus Shakur Stevenson fight,
09:20highlighting the challenges it would present.
09:22He described Shakur as a generational talent,
09:24noting his dominant performance over an elite fighter,
09:27and praising his accomplishments
09:28as a four-division champion at just 28.
09:31Hearn emphasized that while Shakur
09:33is extremely difficult to beat,
09:35a move to 147 pounds could create
09:38a more level playing field
09:39where Benn's size and power would be an advantage.
09:42He noted that Benn is fearless,
09:43willing to fight anyone,
09:45but lacks world-level experience.
09:47Hearn also mentioned that Benn
09:48would not accept a rehydration clause,
09:50making the fight complicated to arrange.
09:53Is Conor Benn versus Shakur
09:54something you would like to...
09:56They DM each other like every other day about it.
09:58They go back and forward, back and forward.
09:59Conor Benn will fight anybody.
10:01You know, I think what Shakur proved tonight
10:03is that he is just a generational talent.
10:06I mean, he made an elite fighter
10:09look very, very average tonight,
10:10and to be a four-division champion
10:12at 28 years of age is unbelievable.
10:15And the way that he's doing it,
10:16it's not even coming out first game.
10:19So Conor Benn would have a massive challenge
10:21on his hands, but he's up for anything.
10:23I want to see Conor Benn win a world title.
10:24He also faced off with Roley Romero tomorrow,
10:26which he's a great fight
10:28in a world-to-weight division.
10:29So Conor Benn will fight anybody.
10:31I have no fear of that.
10:34Eddie, in the back, Kevin Garcia,
10:37just a follow-up question on the Conor Benn thing.
10:40One, do you think that,
10:41I know you just said it'd be a massive challenge for Conor,
10:44but is it a bridge too far, you know, going to 147?
10:48Well, I think that's the only way Shakur's going to get beat.
10:51But, you know, on a level playing field.
10:53However, for now, he expressed interest
10:56in seeing Ben compete for a world title at 147,
10:59acknowledging that while it would be tough,
11:01Ben has the punching power
11:03and determination to challenge elite opponents.
11:06The fight remains unlikely, but intriguing.
11:23I thought he looked solid in this.
11:25I thought he looked like he had the heavier hands of the two.
11:28So Conor Benn can crack at 147,
11:31and he's a big 147er.
11:33So, you know, what he's lacking
11:34in probably a little bit of experience at a world level,
11:37he's making up for in size.
11:40Here's my follow-up question.
11:41I asked Conor after he got out the ring, you know,
11:44would he take that fight on with the rehydration clause?
11:47He said no.
11:48He said F no, to be exact.
11:50How does that fight get made then, ever?
11:52I mean, it's up to Shakur, you know.
11:54I mean, I think that it's kind of like a fantasy match-up.
11:57I don't think that Shakur necessarily has plans
11:59to move to 147.
12:01You can speak to him about that soon.
12:02But, you know, when people talk about the rehydration clause,
12:06people say, well, you may have the rehydration clause.
12:08Conor moved up to weight divisions to fight you, mate.
12:12And ultimately, you get what you negotiate about.
12:14So, that's what we agreed to.
12:16It's up to Conor Benn, however he does the same.
12:18But he would only be, you know,
12:21he'd be coming down to his natural weight.
12:23So, and Shakur now would be coming up one division.
12:26Last question.
12:27Do you want to see that fight?
12:29Yeah, I think.
12:30I mean, it's just a tough, tough fight.
12:33Like, you know, like I said,
12:34Conor has the size advantage.
12:35He can really punch.
12:37And I think he's live against anybody.
12:39But, you know, Shakur has great experience.
12:41I would like to see Conor Benn fight for a world title
12:44at 147.
12:46And I think those fights,
12:48I think Conor's going to get better and better.
12:49This is not the first time Shakur Stevenson
12:51has called out Conor Benn.
12:53Their rivalry has been brewing for months.
12:55Before Stevenson's explosive post-fight challenge,
12:58he had already publicly targeted Benn earlier in 2025,
13:01even offering to move up in weight to face him
13:04and calling him out on social media.
13:06Their tension also spilled over into live interviews
13:08and studio segments,
13:09where the two engaged in heated exchanges
13:12and nearly came to blows,
13:14trading barbs about style, skill, and toughness.
13:17Listen, I'll come back down
13:18and fight you at 147 in November.
13:20November? Yeah.
13:21Done.
13:21Done.
13:22I'll fight you at 147.
13:23I'll fight you at 147.
13:25No, no, no, no.
13:26I don't hear no excuses.
13:28I don't hear no excuses.
13:29I'm saying, I'm saying,
13:29but look, after I beat you,
13:32just tell me I'm great.
13:34But you ain't great.
13:35Listen, you know what?
13:36No, no, after I beat you.
13:37I'm not going to trash you.
13:38I'm not going to trash you.
13:39I watched the fight.
13:40Your IQ is phenomenal.
13:42Appreciate you.
13:43Phenomenal.
13:43Appreciate you.
13:44You're not that good looking, though.
13:48Appreciate you.
13:48So you can't take that one.
13:50Okay.
13:50But I will battle you at 147.
13:52So we're going to make the fight happen
13:54at 147.
13:55After I beat you,
13:56are you going to tell me I'm great?
13:58No, I'm not going to tell you you're great.
14:00Why?
14:00Because if I beat you,
14:02I move up two way places to beat you.
14:04If you beat me,
14:05if you beat me,
14:06I will.
14:07You know what?
14:07I'll tell you you're great.
14:08And if you beat me,
14:09I'll tell you you're great.
14:10Well done.
14:12But you're not beat me.
14:13As far as stipulations go,
14:14that's a pretty simple one.
14:16That's it.
14:16All he wants is
14:16I just did.
14:17All I want is your respect.
14:19That's all.
14:19Oh, you have my respect anyway.
14:20Yeah, yeah.
14:21You got my respect too, bro.
14:22You're a hell of a fighter, bro.
14:23Listen,
14:24you come up to 147.
14:26That's where I'm at my most dangerous.
14:28That don't scare me.
14:29It shouldn't scare you.
14:30You're a fighter.
14:31If it did scare you,
14:31I'd be very worried.
14:32I got a question for you.
14:33But I see you coming in with your glasses
14:34on because you don't want to look me in the eye.
14:35Excuse me, brother.
14:36I like how you said that.
14:38I like how you said that.
14:38Excuse me, brother.
14:39But look, look, look, look, look.
14:41Stevenson doubled down on their rivalry
14:43by reminding fans of his long boxing pedigree.
14:46He pointed out that he started boxing
14:47when he was just five years old
14:49and has now been in the sport for 23 years,
14:52underscoring his experience and confidence.
14:54Stevenson said that with that much time in the game,
14:57Ben cannot beat him,
14:58insisting his lifelong training and refined skills
15:01would give him the edge
15:02if they ever meet in the ring.
15:03What's the question?
15:05How many amateur fights you had?
15:06About 22, 23.
15:08When did you start boxing?
15:0917.
15:1017 years old.
15:11You're cooked.
15:13You're cooked.
15:14Because of?
15:15You start boxing that way.
15:1717.
15:17You're cooked.
15:18I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
15:19It's cooked.
15:20Yeah, it was cooked, man.
15:21Meaning like you're in trouble.
15:22You're cooked.
15:23Of what?
15:24Of me.
15:24Of you.
15:25Why do you say that?
15:26Why is the 17 the indication that he's...
15:28I started boxing when I was five years old.
15:31I'm in this game.
15:32I've been in this game for 23 years.
15:34How many years you've been in this?
15:36It doesn't matter.
15:37We can do it.
15:38You can't beat me.
15:39That's fine.
15:39You can't beat me.
15:40That's fine.
15:40I love the challenge.
15:41He's making me want to get up now and chill.
15:43You're making me want to get up now and you're not going to do that.
15:45You're not going to do that though, chill.
15:48Well, I know.
15:48But I know right now if we were to handle it, I'd handle it.
15:51Bro, that's your opinion.
15:52You're supposed to have your opinion.
15:53Yeah, that's good.
15:54But look, look, look, look.
15:55We're boxers.
15:56We're boxers.
15:57We're fighters, yeah.
15:58So let's keep you boxing.
15:59You're a boxer.
15:59So I'm a fighter, come in and fight me and I'm going to box your head up.
16:04You do that.
16:05No, come there and take your head up.
16:06And I'm going to box your head up.
16:08Do your best.
16:09147.
16:09Let's make a fight.
16:11Meanwhile, Teofemo seemed a little disappointed in the post-fight interviews.
16:14He made it clear that he has to accept losses the same way he accepts victories,
16:19showing the mentality of a seasoned professional.
16:21He even turns the moment into a broader life lesson, explaining that when challenges come,
16:26you must respond with the heart of a champion.
16:28This reflects the public image of an elite fighter, resilience, composure, and strength
16:34under pressure.
16:35However, as the conversation goes on, it becomes clear that beneath this controlled exterior,
16:40he is carrying deep emotional pain.
16:42The more he speaks, the more his inner struggle surfaces, revealing that the loss affects him
16:47far beyond the ring.
16:48Initially, let's just say a record attendance here at MHD.
16:52Yeah, that's awesome.
16:53And a lot of those fans coming out for yourself.
16:56Yeah.
16:57Proud that you've been able to do that as a New Yorker yourself.
17:00Yeah, I'm actually grateful.
17:02I'm grateful for it.
17:02You know, it's definitely something that was a dream of mine, and we accomplished that.
17:08We didn't get the win that we wanted to tonight.
17:09But, you know, no matter what, we did something more than anything.
17:14We brought everybody out here to watch and witness.
17:17Just a great greatness.
17:18Yeah, really.
17:19Greatness.
17:20When I saw you walking through the corridor, I said, how are you?
17:22And you said, hey, I've got to take my losses like I take my wins.
17:25Yeah.
17:25Obviously, you have been in this position before, but you seem like a man who, obviously, a little
17:31bit deflated, but understanding that that's part of life and that's part of life.
17:35What you talking about, Willis?
17:36What you talking about?
17:37It's rubbish.
17:39No, honestly, look.
17:41I look at it like this.
17:42It's a prime example.
17:44When life comes at you, it'll come at you in many ways.
17:48And you've got to treat it like a champ.
17:51That's it.
17:51You've got to treat it like a champ.
17:52Tell yourself, hey, it's okay.
17:53I learned from it and I treat it like a champ every time.
17:56From the start, Shakur Stevenson controlled the pace and distance, making it difficult
18:00for Lopez to find a rhythm or sustain success during the rounds.
18:04As the fight went on, Lopez's frustration was visible.
18:07He tried to adjust and press forward at times, but without creating sustained momentum.
18:11Ultimately, he finished the fight without the breakthrough he had hoped for, and his body
18:15language reflected that challenge.
18:17While not dramatic, his reaction made it clear he didn't get the outcome he was aiming for
18:21and left the ring feeling unsatisfied with his performance.
18:24Yo, what's up, man?
18:25How you doing, man?
18:26You assault on tonight?
18:27I'm just grateful to be here, man.
18:29That's all.
18:30You put on a performance tonight and unfortunately came up short, but what was it that surprised
18:35you about Shakur Stevenson?
18:37Nothing.
18:37Nothing at all, man.
18:38Just didn't come with the right plan.
18:41That's all.
18:42Better man once tonight.
18:43Good fan.
18:43Do you feel like you'd like to run it back at some point with Shakur?
18:46I know you're someone that always wants to, like that time come both to speak, you want
18:50to do it straight away, right?
18:52We'll see what happens next, man.
18:53I'm going to let my team do the work on that.
18:56See if anyone.
18:56Appreciate the time.
18:57Yeah, for sure, man.
18:57Appreciate it.
18:58Boxing legend Andre Ward publicly highlighted what makes Shakur Stevenson stand out as a
19:03fighter.
19:03Ward pointed to Stevenson's high-ring IQ, athleticism, and ability to adapt mid-fight, saying Stevenson
19:09is like a blank canvas in the ring, able to paint any picture he wants with his skill
19:14set, creativity, and decision-making under pressure, a rare combination at the elite
19:19level.
19:19Analysts have noted that Stevenson's movement, range control, and tactical versatility allow
19:25him to consistently outbox top opponents, which was evident in his dominant performance
19:29against Teofimo Lopez, where he controlled tempo and distance effectively throughout the
19:34bout.
19:34Ward's praise reflects a broader expert consensus that Stevenson's superior technical skills,
19:39and boxing intelligence were key to his convincing victory, and set him apart from many contemporaries.
19:45Man, he better leave that alone.
19:47What did you think of Shakur's performance?
19:48He did what he had to do, man.
19:49You know, there's always room for improvement.
19:52You know, I think he had a lot of stuff he could have did, but he's so talented and gifted,
19:57man.
19:57You know, you also got to trust what he's seeing in there.
20:00You know, we're on the outside, you know.
20:02But I think he put on a tremendous performance, and obviously, you know, the level he's at,
20:08you always look for things he could do better, you know.
20:10What did you see from the outside that he might be doing better?
20:12I mean, I'm just saying, like, you know, like, he, I think it was a lot of body work and stuff
20:15like that.
20:16He could have, he could have, he could have touched on, but again, he's in there, you
20:19know, so he's seeing stuff.
20:20He's feeling the punches.
20:20We're not.
20:21So you got to trust what he's seeing.
20:24Teofimo just couldn't get going today, though.
20:26Well, he tried to get going.
20:26He just wasn't allowed to.
20:27So it's just a distance and range that Shakur has just perfected throughout the years, and
20:33then making him pay when he does that discourages him to not want to punch anymore, and I think
20:38he was out of answers in the first round.
20:40Honestly, I think he didn't really have any answers.
20:42When Teofimo starts doing a little certain things with his hands and starts playing the
20:44clown game, he out of answers.
20:46He's down to just one shot.
20:47So Shakur just stayed focused, stayed locked in, and, you know, what's that, four divisions
20:52now?
20:5226, 30, 35, 40?
20:54Connor Ben has publicly pushed back hard against Shakur Stevenson's demand for a rehydration
20:59clause in a potential fight, turning the negotiation into a spectacle.
21:03When Stevenson floated the idea that Ben should accept a clause limiting how much weight he can
21:08regain after weigh-in, similar to the clause Ben agreed to in his 2025 fights with Chris
21:13Eubank Jr., Ben didn't just decline.
21:15He set a huge price tag for even considering it.
21:18Ben reportedly said that if Stevenson really wants the rehydration clause, then he'd only
21:23do the fight for around $20 million, essentially making it a condition tied to major financial
21:28compensation, rather than accepting Stevenson's terms for free or on standard terms.
21:34He was the one talking, not me.
21:35He wants the rehydration clause.
21:36Yeah, well, he can, you know what, I'm going to keep it PG today, but he can go himself.
21:42Yeah.
21:42And if he wants a rehydration clause, pay me $20 million, I might consider it.
21:46Yeah.
21:47$20 million, that's the number.
21:48But I'll happily give him a beating for free as well, so it's like a bit of a, I'll do
21:54it for free, but then also, yeah, if you want a rehydration clause, do it for $20 million.
21:57He ain't calling no shots.
21:59What do you think about the potential showdown between Shakur Stevenson and Connor Benn?
22:03Let us know in the comments.
