Floyd Schofield Sr. says his son, Floyd Jr., will not lose to WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on February 22 in their bout in Riyadh. He says fans are tripping if they believe Schofield Jr. (18-0, 12 KOs). He's just going out for it.
Boxing fans believe that Floyd Jr. and his father are talking about this fight only for money. They don't think they can win and will be dominated by Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs). DAZN PPV.
The way they pushed this fight and ignored promoter Oscar De La Hoya, who said Floyd Jr. needs more experience, makes it seem like it's all about the money. If Schofield Jr. has at least one win on his resume, fans will think he really wants to win.
“We are coming to win”
“We're not going out there to lose. You're intruding. We were against the odds. I'm asking Oscar (De La Hoya) to take the fight, and we're against the odds,” Floyd Schofield Sr. said. Social mediaHe talks about his son's fight against WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on February 22.
“We're used to it, fighting with our backs against the wall because we have something to fight for. We're breaking generational curses. We're having fun with it. We're going out to have a blast. I hope you all join the fight.”
“We thank Shakur for this opportunity. We will continue to be humble because it is time for growth in our lives. I want to be humble and spread love, but at no time will we lose a mental battle against us,” Schofield Sr. said. “Come on now, you have to be real.” “Yes.”
It says a lot about Shakur that he chose 22-year-old Scofield Jr. as his opponent instead of selecting several qualified contenders like Andy Cruz, Edwin de los Santos, Raymond Muratala, Jose “Rayo” Velasquez, or Isaac. Pitbull Cruz. Stevenson doesn't want to lose before he gets the Gervonta 'Tank' Davis fight. Picking Floyd Jr. is Shakur's way of ensuring he doesn't get beaten.
“You already know who I am now. You can watch online. I'm going to be a more humble version of myself and a calmer version of myself. The bottom line is we're going to go out to win. We know we're the underdog, and we love it,” Schofield said.
Floyd Sr. should keep talking because he's the only one really promoting this fight. Shakur hasn't done anything of his own to spark the match, and Schofield Jr. is also quiet. He's not the speaker.

“So, please don't lose all your money betting on Shakur. Don't get mad at me. Don't come up with some bullshit because you lost your family's money betting on Shakur. We've got to prove what we say, and we're going to go out there and shine,” Schofield R said.
“The WBC title is on the line and new. I'm telling you all. Keep sleeping. You're going to have a nightmare. Go to sleep, Shakur,” Floyd Sr. said.
Schofield's only chance to win is by eliminating Shakur because he won't win by decision. Because of this, he may not even win any rounds. The way Floyd Jr. fought Rene Tellez Giron in his last fight on November 2nd, he doesn't belong in the same ring as Stevenson.
