Newly minted WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia just called out the world / WBO junior welterweight champion on social media, and seems to be saying he will go back down to the 140-pound division for the fight. Garcia tweeted: "Forget the catchweight sh*t. Let’s do it for real. I want to take your belt and snatch it right off you, Shakur Stevenson." In a subsequent Tweet, Garcia, exapnded: "To those that are worried about the 140-pound weight. I will tell you this, it was my plan to be able to also win at 140. As long as there’s no rehydration clause things will be going forward. Testing always included, I’ve never shy’d away from that. For Shakur to assume I’m on steroids, that is defamation. So I would advise you to refrain yourself, I know you are deep down scared and you should have fear. I’m coming for you."

 

Stevenson's response? About steroids, something that Garcia has suspended for in the past: "That’s my opinion. You can’t sue nobody for their opinion. You [are] a boxer champ, wassup with a the suing tactics anyway? About the fight? "140- Let’s do it chump."
