Floyd Schofield Sr. revealed today that his son Floyd Schofield Jr. (18-0, 12 KOs) has been offered a fight against Abdullah Mason (18-0, 16 KOs).
Floyd Schofield denies he ducked the fight against WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson last Saturday night in Riyadh. Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs) said that it doesn’t make sense for him to turn down the “biggest paycheck” and opportunity of his life at the last minute.
Shakur Stevenson is reportedly looking for a replacement to defend his WBC lightweight title on DAZN PPV on Saturday because his initially scheduled opponent, Floyd Schofield, has suffered an illness.
Floyd Schofield says Shakur Stevenson is an emotional, hyper-sensitive “Diva” with a developmental level of seven years. Besides that, he says he doesn’t like Shakur because he’s “ignorant.
Abdullah Mason says Floyd ‘Kid Austin’ Schofield has “no chance” of defeating WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson in their fight on February 22nd in Riyadh.
Promoter Eddie Hearn calls the February 22nd Riyadh Season card the “greatest night of boxing” the sport has seen. The headliner is the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, and the event will be shown live on DAZN.
Floyd Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs) says he’ll give WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson a rematch after he defeats him on February 22nd.
Oscar De La Hoya still believes Floyd ‘Kid Austin’ Schofield Jr. should have waited to gain more experience before challenging Shakur Stevenson for his WBC lightweight title.
Shakur Stevenson says he’s not looking past his next opponent, Floyd Schofield, for February 22nd towards the two big fights that Turki Alalashikh and promoter Eddie Hearn have planned for him in 2025 against William Zepeda and Gervonta Davis.
Shakur Stevenson says he’s the “new version’ of his fighting style will be even better than the one he had before.
