'I almost feel like there are too many cooks in the kitchen, but there's no head chef.'
It's almost like they need a lean, mean, grilling machine?
"Shakur Stevenson was the jewel in the crown. He potentially is the face of US boxing.
To lose him after not having a fight is embarrassing. Let's just cut out all the rubbish. This is embarrassing. It's diabolical.
I almost feel like there are too many cooks in the kitchen, but there's no head chef.
If you're Shakur, I think you've made the right decision. You're 29, you're at the peak of your powers. This is the wrong time to stall." - @ade_oladipo1

There's SO much more to the FazSportz story.
I've pieced together a timeline of where he came from, how he built his following, the stories he 'broke', the fake giveaway, his possible motives, and some of the frankly 'Faztastical' things he told people privately about himself.
Faz reached out by email last night to apologise. We exchanged several messages, and to his credit, he answered a lot of my questions, including making some significant admissions about the giveaway.
He then deactivated his X account again, shortly after I sent him a further set of questions about claims he'd made to others concerning his professional background.
He says the racial abuse became too much, which I take seriously. His account was protected, replies were disabled, and I couldn't find any public mentions when I checked at around 11pm UK time. That doesn't rule out abuse in DMs, and I've offered to investigate and call out anyone responsible.
Anyway, I've got some actual work to get through first. Then I'll put the full story together.
There's quite a bit to unpack. #Boxing
Just to clarify, I genuinely thought this would go no further than holding him accountable for the fake ticket giveaway.
Then a handful of people contacted me, completely unsolicited, with their own Faz stories, and things got weird VERY quickly.
The bigger story is the state of boxing media, particularly on X, where seemingly anyone can build a following, claim credibility and be taken seriously without anyone asking many questions.
And in Faz's case, that credibility may have enabled behaviour that went well beyond a fabricated ticket giveaway.
P.S. If anyone else has their own experience with Faz they'd like to share, please get in touch.
I'm handling everything sensitively and won't publish anything you're not comfortable sharing publicly. Even if you'd rather keep your experience off the record, it may still be useful background for the investigation.

Still dying about the FazSportz situation. Was a typical sports fan on here for years, woke up one day and decided he was gonna become a boxing journo. Was all over everyone’s feeds for 2 weeks, tried to con everyone to gain more followers, got exposed then ran off the app 😹

Before anyone gets too excited about a supposed Ryan-Floyd fight, and I have no idea why anyone would, remember Floyd has contracts in place with Netflix and CSI for a Pacquiao rematch and is also facing criminal charges in the bad check case. Everybody slow your roll. #boxing

Fuck's sake. They'll miss Canelo-Mbilli.

We took all our WordPress sites offline this afternoon. A patch finally landed for our server software, so we rolled it out across our infrastructure. Everything’s back up, including Box.Live.
Going to be a wild few years with this AI shit! A backdoor into a huge chunk of the web. #NotBoxing

Easy to say in hindsight, but you should have stayed with Michelle Joy Phelps for another season and waited for the big move.
The most telling Floyd clip is him at a property conference, saying he loves his partners because they pay his dividends weekly.
Mate, if you’re that smart with money, why do you sound like you need your investments to get you through the week? #Boxing
