Two-weight world champion Shakur Stevenson has claimed that he has a better resume compared to former undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney.
Stevenson, who has held world titles at featherweight and super featherweight, will attempt to become a three-weight world champion on Thursday night when he takes on Edwin De Los Santos for the vacant WBC lightweight title, but he has long been linked with a fight against Haney.
This all-American clash looked close to happening in July, but Stevenson rejected the 75-25 deal offered by Haney's team which would have seen Stevenson earn just 25% of the fight purse.
For now both fighters have gone their separate ways with Haney moving up in weight to challenge WBC super lightweight champion Regis Prograis on December 9 live on DAZN and DAZN PPV.
However, the rivalry is still intense between the pair and Stevenson is the latest to continue the verbal sparring by claiming that Haney's resume would be inferior to his own if he did not beat Vasiliy Lomachenko earlier this year.
"If you scratch Lomachenko off his resume and you put my resume up against his, I think mine is better," Stevenson said on the Daily Mail's The Hook podcast.
"With the Lomachenko fight it put him at a different level because he had the opportunity. Devin got better opportunities than me. He got the opportunity to fight [George Kambosos] for every belt - that's an opportunity. I didn't get the opportunity to fight Lomachenko on pay-per-view card. If we fought, that would be a big fight. We tried to do that and he said no.
"[Haney] can say that [that his record is better], that's cool if he wants to run with that. I hear him, but ask him who the better fighter is. Really I'm a better fighter than you bro. I'm in the gym all the time, I eat sleep boxing. You party, social media, running round doing other s—t. I'm locked in. Once the opportunity comes you're going to see."
