Robert Garcia names the one man who can beat Shakur Stevenson: “He might not want to do that”

Published

on

Shakur Stevenson is one of the most skilled fighters in the sport today, but in the eyes of world-class trainer, Robert Garcia, there is one fellow American he believes could be the man to hand the Newark southpaw his first career defeat.

Stevenson dominated Teofimo Lopez to become a four-division world champion back in January and ever since, he has been linked to a plethora of fights against some of boxing’s biggest names and a potential move up to the welterweight division.

However, whilst the newly-crowned WBO super-lightweight world champion may be recognised as one of the most talented operators in the world of boxing, he currently lacks the star power to convince some of the sport’s superstars into a fight.

As a result, despite calling out both Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, it seems as though the welterweight duo will instead face one another, with Stevenson left to ponder whether he should remain at super-lightweight, drop back down to lightweight, or begin campaigning up at 147lbs.

Should he decide to move up, Robert Garcia thinks that reigning WBO welterweight world champion, Devin Haney, could get the better of Stevenson due to his physical advantages, as well as his boxing skills, he told BoxingScene.

“It is not an easy fight for Shakur, that is why he is not chasing that one. He knows that is a dangerous fight, especially if they do it at welterweight.

“He wants it at a catchweight but if Haney is a champion at welterweight, then fight him at welterweight. I don’t think that Shakur is big enough, like [Floyd] Mayweather was at one point, where he could say ‘I want you at this weight division’.”

“If the fight does happen, it happens at welterweight. Shakur might not want to do that because it is going to be very dangerous for him, fighting a big guy like that. Haney can fight, Haney is fast, Haney has got decent power, too.”

“I do see Haney being the bigger man and maybe I would give Haney the advantage but it’s an interesting fight – a fight that I would like to see.”

Haney seemed destined to fight WBA champion Rolando Romero in a welterweight title unification until talks recently collapsed and the potential announcement of Garcia-Benn seems to have left ‘The Dream’ out in the cold, as he searches for a first fight of 2026.

TRICON and Tanner Gray announce Greg Biffle tribute for Dover with special livery

Published

on

TRICON Garage will honor Greg Biffle this weekend at Dover Motor Speedway, with Tanner Gray running a special throwback scheme on the No. 15 Toyota Tundra. The tribute, announced ahead of the All-Star weekend, revisits one of Biffle’s most recognizable Busch Series (now O’Reilly Series) designs.

Biffle died on December 18, 2025, in a private jet that crashed near Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina. The crash claimed seven lives, including his wife Cristina Grossu, his children Ryder and Emma, along with his friend Dennis Dutton, his son Jack, and Craig Wadsworth. The loss continues to be felt across the NASCAR garage months later.

Several teams have since paid multiple tributes to Biffle this year. TRICON Garage has now confirmed their homage on X, writing:

“Be like Biff. Tanner Gray and the No. 15 team will pay homage to 17x @NASCAR_Trucks winner Greg Biffle this weekend at Dover 🎨.”

The truck itself mirrors Greg Biffle’s 2006 Dover Ameriquest-era design. It carries a bright, multicolored layout with bold abstract patterns, staying close to the original look. The updated version also includes personal elements, with the names of those lost in the December crash placed on the rear of the truck as part of the tribute.

Fans called it one of the best tribute designs of the season, praising both the accuracy to the original and the emotional detail added. There has also been early demand for a diecast version, reflecting how strongly the design has connected with the fan base.

Greg Biffle’s 2006 season remains one of the defining stretches of his career. He finished 13th in the Cup Series with 4,075 points and two wins, coming at Darlington and Homestead. He also ran 30 Busch Series races and finished ninth in the final standings. At Dover that year, he finished eighth in both Series, driving the No. 16 Roush Racing Ford, making it a fitting place for the tribute to return.

For Tanner Gray, the weekend also carries a competitive arc. Through eight Truck Series races in 2026, he has yet to record a top-10 finish in the No. 15 entry, while teammate Kaden Honeycutt in the No. 11 truck currently leads the standings.

The investigation into Greg Biffle’s December crash remains ongoing, with NTSB and federal authorities still working toward a final report. Preliminary findings confirmed that Dennis Dutton was the pilot in command, with his son beside him.

Four occupants on board held pilot certifications, including Biffle, but there was no clearly structured two-pilot setup. Investigators also pointed to a mix of instrument-related issues and increasing cockpit workload during the flight. There were also signs of system anomalies, which may have affected situational awareness during the final landing.

A final determination on the cause is expected once the full report is completed. Away from the investigation, Greg Biffle’s personal estate has also been in the spotlight. Reports of a burglary at his North Carolina home and other incidents around his assets have added to an already difficult period for those close to him.
