Tim Bradley BLASTS Gary Antuanne Russell For Turning Down $2M To Fight Shakur Stevenson!

Tim Bradley has called out Gary Antuanne Russell over his reluctance to immediately face Shakur Stevenson, claiming Russell was offered $2 million for a 140-pound unification fight. Bradley questioned why Russell would want to delay such a major opportunity, especially while claiming that roughly $500,000 had been Russell’s biggest previous payday. The reported $2 million figure comes from Bradley; reporting on the approach from Zuffa Boxing did not publicly disclose the purse. Russell has said he likes the Shakur fight but believes it could become even bigger if both champions continue building toward it. Earlier this year, he openly described Stevenson as part of his plan toward becoming undisputed at 140 pounds, so the disagreement appears to be more about timing and business than Russell having no interest in the matchup. #timbradley #shakurstevenson #garyrusselljr #AntuanneRussell #boxingnews
