Summary
Shakur Stevenson's attorney and co-manager Josh Dubin joins Andre Ward and Roy Jones Jr. to tell the full, unfiltered story behind the WBC stripping Shakur of his 135-pound title just days after becoming a four-division world champion. The conversation covers the $120,000 sanction fee demand, the bizarre mention of Terence Crawford during negotiations, the 15-day rule the WBC ignored, and why the sanctioning body system needs a complete overhaul. Dre, Roy and Josh also make the case for a fighters union and deliver a powerful message to every young fighter: "You don't get what's fair. You get what you negotiate."
