Arum feels that any bout could be a blockbuster, telling FightHype: "That’s a spectacular fight, a real fan-friendly fight.
"I hope we can make that fight. I know [that] our people have talked to Haney, and we’ll be talking to Keyshawn [about it]."

Taking to social media, the 'GWOAT' backed Stevenson to come out on top, stating that "lil Tank (six) ain't beating no damn Shakur".
