Henry Cejudo isn’t moving on from a showdown with Nurideen “Dean The Great” Shabazz.
Cejudo was expected to face Sabazz this past Saturday, but “Deen The Great” suffered an injury and was removed from the event. “Triple C” ended up facing Javon Walton in Miami, and he earned a split decision victory in the Misfits Boxing headliner. Tony Ferguson competed on that same card, stopping Mahmoud Sebie to retain his middleweight title.
Speaking to Fred Beck of “Fred Talks Fighting,” Cejudo said he’s still targeting a clash against Shabazz, and even accused him of ducking (via MMAJunkie).
“First and foremost, I think Deen ‘The Duck’ owes me a f*cking fight,” Cejudo said. “That’s what he does, and it’s time for me to put that duck to sleep. You guys have to stop calling him ‘Deen The Great,’ it’s ‘Deen The B*tch.’ Why don’t we call him that? He needs to show up, and we have to throw down because that was the original plan. If he can’t do that, then just stream; don’t talk your sh*t. You’re not a boxer then. If you’re not willing to fight, then just stream and have fun kissing your boyfriend Adrien ‘Boner’ (Adrien Broner).”
Since retiring from pro MMA competition, Cejudo has returned to his freestyle wrestling roots under the RAF banner in addition to his influencer boxing stint. The former two-division UFC champion has been staying busy, and he hopes to secure a fight with “Deen The Great” in the near future.
Shabazz had a late 2025 boxing match against Amado Vargas, which resulted in a unanimous decision loss. Whether or not he’ll look to rebook a clash against Cejudo remains to be seen.
