Nearly eight months after he took apart Teofimo Lopez, Shakur has yet to defend his WBO light welterweight title or announce his next fight. Now he wants Gary Antuanne Russell, while Raymond Muratalla and O’Shaquie Foster are the fights many fans would rather see.

“Whole world be ready to turn on me at anytime over any lil thing I love it tho, That’s why I’m gone stay focused and keep showing yall why im the best!!!," said Shakur on X .

Asking when he will fight again is not turning on him. His performance against Teofimo raised expectations. He spent much of the year pursuing Devin Haney and said in July that he had verbally agreed to an October fight, though no contract had been signed. With October approaching, he still has no date.
