Shakur Stevenson taunts Jamel Herring at weigh-in for WBO super-featherweight title fight.
Stevenson was separated from Herring after taunting the WBO super-featherweight champion at the weigh-in ahead of their weekend’s fight.
The 24-year-old again tried to grab the WBO belt from Herring and then delivered a few parting words
Stevenson, who is bidding to become champion in a second division, weighed in at the 130lbs limit, while Herring came in marginally lighter at 129.8lbs ahead of the fourth defence of his WBO belt.
Herring had previously trained in the same gym as Stevenson, although their rivalry has flared up in fight week.
“He’s not my friend. I don’t talk to him outside of boxing,” Stevenson said at the press conference.
“If he slips up and makes any mistakes, I am going to capitalise.
Herring had replied: “It’s not personal. I’ve heard worse and been through worse.
“We will put our personal feelings to the side and go to battle.”
On the undercard, Muhammad Ali’s Grandson, Nico Ali Walsh will target his second professional victory against James Westley II.
