With the fragility of their hands, Shakur Stefenson is still planned 2026 against Tudaimo Lopez is still inaccurate

Shakur Stefenson says he will fight Tudaimo Lopez now, but he wants to make sure his hands are “100 %” when they meet. Their battle is targeted for January or February 2026, provided that Stephennon does not face another hand problem in the training camp.

Shakur (24-0, 11 KOS) will move from 135 to the Tudaimo Challenge (22-1, 13 Cos) for the light WBO title for his weight. The title of Stevenson Wbc Lightweight will be suspended, in addition to the competitors waiting for the title of the title.

Shakur says the logical basis of Lopez’s fighting will become great. However, he did not do this in his career. There were no highly dangerous battles for Stevenson in which he came as it was expected to lose the weak.

Determine the priorities of “100 %” hand health

“I feel the most intelligent way is to make sure my hands are 100 %. Tio is a man like me,” Shakor Stevenson told Dazen boxing when asked whether he would prefer to fight Tudaimo Lopez immediately instead of waiting until January or February 2026.

Do not be surprised if this battle is postponed. With Shakour’s fragile hands, he may not bring him through the training camp without suffering from injury like last year.

Shakur Joe Kordina was supposed to fight against Artur Berbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol UnderCard on October 12, 2024, in RIYADH. However, Stephenson was injured in the right hand and had to undergo surgery to fix the problem. The Battle of Kordina was later canceled.

“He wants this. He does not pretend. They want fame and all the things that come with her, but they don’t want greatness. Teo is one of these men who also wants greatness,” Shakur said.

Like Shakur, Tudaimo was selective in his pursuit of greatness. The best fighters of the 140 -pound, Gary Anwan Russell, Richardson Hitzs, Superil Matthias, Alberto Poelo, and Kishon Defis were not fighting.

Lopez loves to say, “Make boxing great again”, while giving his vision of what he tries to do in his career. But he does not actually do so. It is just a line it puts, then fights opposition B and C.

Money on inheritance for both of them?

Shakur is not different. He talks about the desire to be great and then chooses to fight Josh Badley, William Zebida and Artem Harutian. Many fans see Shakour to fight against Lopez as only about money.
