Why Is Shakur Stevenson Claiming He's Latino Now?

[TheBoxGod]

I seen Shakur Stevenson making the rounds letting everyone know he is Puerto Rican, He has been in this sport on the main stage for years now and never once mentioned it but now all of a sudden he wants a Valdez fights and now claims he is Puerto Rican,,, for that Mexican vs Puerto Rican sell.

I find it strange and how you think the puerto rican people will take it? A person who never claimed his was puerto rican until the moment he can get some benfit from it now he wants to be proud of his heritage.

Hype himself up i guess. Boring in and out of the ring.

[LeOoze]

Because he's half puerto rican?

[Thuglife Nelo]

His father was Alfredo Rivera. Passed away in 2019.

[KTFOKING]

Because he has Puerto Rican in him? Is he lying about that?

He's not trying to portray something he isn't.

I thought it was already known, It was talked about leading up to the Joet Gonzalez fight as well about his Biological Father Alfredo Rivera passing away:

That PR fanbase is one of the most loyal in boxing so he should be trying to parlay it into some fan momentum.
