Shakur Stevenson is the current WBC Lightweight champion and made a successful defense of his title over the weekend against Artem Harutyunyan in Stevenson’s hometown of Newark, N.J. The fight was reportedly not a thrilling one, with Cam’Ron and Ma$e critiquing Stevenson’s performance, promoting a fiery tirade from the boxer online that has now erupted into a true war of words.
Shakur Stevenson, 27, was made aware of the disdain that not only fight fans but his corner also noticed on July 6. Many times throughout the fight, Stevenson’s corner pleaded with him to throw punches but Harutyunyan was also relatively inactive. This performance caught the eye of Cam’Ron and Ma$e, who had some things to say on their It Is What It Is sports talk program.
Much of the vitriol from Stevenson landed in the direction of Ma$e, and we’ll share some of the Xitter replies in question in the gallery below. Let’s just say that it’s very much up for Stevenson against the It Is What It Is hosts.
The artist born Mason Betha responded to Stevenson with a menacing drawl letting it be known in so many words that it can turn to beef if it needs to. Killa Cam also added some sauce on top of the brewing beef, telling Stevenson that street boxing isn’t the same as boxing in the ring.
Despite enjoying his recent title defense, Shakur Stevenson has been going off on Xitter, which made Ma$e and Cam’Ron essentially say that the boxer is crashing out.
Check out the chatter and reactions below.

For a while now professional boxer Ryan Garcia has been alienating his fans whether it be because of his unwavering support of Donald Trump or simply acting a fool.
Now, the embattled boxer has gone off the deep end with his MAGA-ish racism as he took to X Space and went on a crazy hateful rant against Black people for no apparent reason, and it will cost him dearly.
According to Yahoo, Garcia shocked listeners and supporters when he and a few associates were chopping it up on X Space. Garcia suddenly decided to let the N-word fly in a hateful filled rant in which he said, “I hate n*****s, I’m anti-Black … N*****, I’m KKK, I hate n*****s … Hey, let’s go bring George Floyd back to life and kill that n***** again.’”
We’re not sure which chapter of the KKK allows Mexican-Americans to join their racist organization, but apparently Garcia thinks he found one.
Continuing to spew his unfiltered hate for all to hear, Garcia went on to include Muslims on his sh*t list saying, “f*ck all you Muslim a** f*ckin’ weird a** f*cks.” When told that he would regret saying all these things, Garcia responded saying, “I will never be touched because I’m with God. I’m with Jesus.”
Christ on crutches.
After Garcia’s comments went viral the World Boxing Council decided to take action and expelled Garcia.
Yahoo reports:
Only a few hours later, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman announced he was expelling Garcia from his organization. He also mentioned that Garcia had declined multiple attempts by the WBC to provide help with mental health and substance abuse.
Garcia’s own parents later released a statement disavowing his comments and saying he needs help:
“Our son has recently made statements that do not align with his, or our family’s, true character or beliefs. Our family unequivocally does not support any statements he has made regarding race or religion — these do not reflect who Ryan truly is and how he was raised.
“Those who know Ryan can attest to this fact. Ryan has been open about his ongoing struggle with mental health over the years and as a family we are committed to ensuring and encouraging that he receives the necessary help to navigate this very challenging time and address both his immediate and long-term well-being. We appreciate the continued support, prayers and compassion.”
Yeah, Garcia needs help. From claiming he was taken to Bohemian Grove where he was forced to watch kids being raped by rich and powerful men to claiming he knows who killed Tupac—and has proof of it—Ryan Garcia’s been on some sh*t for quite some time.

Mike Tyson suffered a health scare while in midair and is now recovering despite having a major boxing event coming in the next few weeks. The former heavyweight world champion suffered an ulcer flare-up and appears to be expected to go forward with his bout with social media star Jake Paul.
As seen on Deadline, Mike Tyson, 57, was on an American Airlines flight from Miami to Los Angeles when the flare-up occurred. As the outlet reports, flight attendants rushed to the boxing legend’s aid and requested the assistance of a doctor on board.
More from Deadline:
“He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing, a rep for Tyron said in a statement to media outlets. “He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him” and is now feeling “great”, the rep added.
Flight attendants reached out to passengers to see if a doctor was on board when Tyson revealed he was in intense pain. Paramedics reportedly boarded the plane when it landed to assist Tyson.
Tyson is set to take on Paul, 27, in Arlington, Texas at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium on July 20. Paul has said in interviews that while he respects Tyson, he isn’t going to pull any punches. Tyson promises that the fight isn’t a money grab and that he intends to bring the fight to Paul.

Fans and followers of Ryan Garcia know that the outspoken athlete is an avid Donald Trump supporter and also a conspiracy theorist (as are most Trumpians). Now, the professional boxer is attempting to turn his positive PED test into a conspiracy theory of its own—he’s blaming it on his public endorsement of VonShitzhispants, allegedly.
According to Raw Story, Garcia took to his X account to blast out a brand new conspiracy theory as to why he tested positive for the banned PED, ostarine, claiming that the powers that be set him up after he showed his support for Donald Trump not too long ago.
“Hmm I’m seen with trump
And now I’m positive for steroids
This is a straight attack
Crazy.”
Yeah, unfortunately for Garcia these kind of conspiracy theories blurted out online only work when they come from Donald Trump himself, right-wing leaning media or white people.
Ryan Garcia is a Mexican boxer whom MAGA supporters have no interest in, well, supporting. Still, the man did get some validation from Trumpians on social media but not to the extent where it would cause outrage among the far-right and call for a boycott of the sport of boxing or something ridiculous.
And ridiculous is what this is as Trump and Trump supporters have a well-known knack for refusing to take accountability for their misdeeds and blaming it on the powers that be whenever they’re caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
Per Raw Story:
His message caught the eye of MSNBC writer Ja’han Jones, who published Thursday a scathing analysis of the professional boxer’s take, arguing, “the tone of his denials…are dripping with Trumpian deflection and evasions.”
“Garcia made expletive-laden comments that echoed rhetoric he’s pushed in the past, claiming the report was probably released by ‘pedophile’ elites he says he’s been ‘trying to take down,’” Jones writes.
Jones notes Garcia offered a “defense” the writer suggested did more harm than good: “Even if a motherf—– was on steroids, right?” Garcia reportedly wrote, “You still got hit.”
“Garcia and Trump are clearly a fitting match: Both know how it feels when their declared victories are called into question,” Jones wrote. “And both are clearly unashamed to spread salacious conspiracy theories to push back against stories that could damage their already-shaky reputations as winners.”
Where this goes from here is anyone’s guess. But we doubt that Ryan Garcia’s conspiracy theory behind his positive PED test will gain much traction going forward because, well, he’s not beloved in MAGA land. So good luck with that, mano.
What do y’all think of Ryan Garcia’s latest defense of his positive PED test? Let us know in the comment section below.

A few weeks ago, Ryan Garcia shocked the boxing world with his dismantling of the WBC Super Lightweight Champion Devin Haney. Now, the win is under scrutiny as it’s being reported that Garcia tested positive for a banned PED before the highly-anticipated fight.
According to Bleacher Report, the polarizing Mexican boxer tested positive for a banned performance enhancing drug known as ostarine after he took a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test the day before his surprising victory over the former champ, Devin Haney.
The funny thing was that many people online just assumed Garcia was hype off the booger sugar, but apparently, it was another kind of banned PED. Naturally, Garcia denied that he took anything calling it “bullsh*t” and saying “everybody knows I don’t cheat.” But if the results turn out to be true (they haven’t been confirmed as of yet), then that will add an asterisk to Garcia’s victory in the minds of most boxing enthusiasts.
While ostarine can be found in products that people consume, according to the USADA, only illegal drugs and medications contain the PED and can’t be found over the counter or prescribed by doctors. In other words, Garcia got his fix illegally.
Still, Garcia tried to blame the positive result on some Ashwagandha supplements he was taking, though we’re not sure if he was being sarcastic or serious. “My bad I shouldn’t have took this,” he said while showing the bottle of the supplements on his post.
Devin Haney responded to the news of Garcia’s testing positive for PED’s saying: “It’s unfortunate Ryan cheated and disrespect both the fans the the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive note once, but twice,” before adding, “This puts the fight in a completely different light.”
Haney’s father/trainer, Bill Haney, also addressed the issue and didn’t mince his words one bit.
Per Bleacher Report:
“You trying to hurt my baby,” Haney said. “We played it fair. We didn’t do it like that. F–k boxing, this is some bulls–t. I came from the streets. You scared of Devin on a level playing field. I feel f–ked up over this. If you can brag about doing it, you shouldn’t be on drugs.”
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency defines ostarine as follows:
“Ostarine is the trademarked name for a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) that is not approved for human use or consumption in the U.S., or in any other country. In recent years, WADA has reported an increasing number of positive tests involving SARMs, and athletes who use these substances most likely obtain them through black market channels.
“Research has shown that SARMs like ostarine have fewer androgenic properties, meaning they have less influence on the development and balance of male hormones, including testosterone. While they are not yet approved for human use, SARMs are of interest to the medical community because they might be effective at treating different health conditions without resulting in the negative side effects of steroids. Ostarine is currently being investigated as a way to treat a variety of muscle wasting diseases, such as osteoporosis, cancer, and hypogonadism.”
While Garcia did defeat the WBC Super Lightweight Champ, Devin Haney, when it was all said and done, he wasn’t able to claim the title as he came into the fight three pounds overweight at the weigh-ins.
Maybe it was the ostarine? Just sayin’.
No word on what kind of punishment Garcia faces or if there will be a rematch with Garcia under strict supervision as far as PED’s go. Regardless of what happens next, boxing enthusiasts will forever look at this victory with the side-eye.
