Artem Harutyunyan has a theory that even Shakur Stevenson’s supporters want to see him defeated in their upcoming match because they find his style of fighting uninteresting. At the recent final press conference, Harutyunyan, dressed sharply in a business-like manner, employed psychological tactics by heaping praise on WBC lightweight champion Shakur, seemingly to catch him off guard. However, Shakur saw through the strategy when Harutyunyan complimented him on his cologne, which was not actually worn by Shakur, leading to a light-hearted moment between the two boxers. Despite Harutyunyan’s attempts to unsettle Shakur, the latter remains focused on their main event clash scheduled for July 6 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Harutyunyan’s unconventional methods, involving flattery and unorthodox intimidation, might have had a slight impact on Shakur, as witnessed by their moment of laughter during the face-off. Harutyunyan is confident in his skills to deliver an exciting bout and demonstrate genuine boxing prowess, while also suggesting that even Shakur’s fanbase considers him uninspiring and are anticipating a change.
