The saga between Floyd Schofield Jr., his father/trainer Floyd Schofield Sr. and Shakur Stevenson has seen many twists and turns during fight week.

Yet, the wildest turn may have been saved for last.

Schofield Jr. was pulled from the bout against Stevenson for his WBC lightweight title by the British Boxing Board of Control on Tuesday after he had fallen ill and was hospitalized in Saudi Arabia. In the aftermath of Schofield Jr. having to go to the hospital, Schofield Sr. accused Stevenson's team of poisoning his son and trying to kill him.

You’re soft and we still want to fight your soft self," Schofield Sr. wrote. "The British board pulled the fight, not us. You have a very dirty team. Now you fight someone easy now...Super soft. You will learn about the spiritual realm soon. Only a soft team would poison an opponent."

You’re soft and we still want to fight your soft self. The British board pulled the fight not us. You have a very dirty team. Now you fight someone easy now… super soft.

You will learn about the spiritual realm soon. Only a soft team would poison an opponent’s

You both were cool, why try to kill him. We suppose to solve things in the rings as boxers. That shit was very foul from your team,

Schofield Sr.'s accusation of Stevenson's team poisoning his son was one of many crazy posts he made on X. He told WBO junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez to stay away from a fight with WBO lightweight champion Keyshawn Davis because of his association with Stevenson and his team. He also made a similar message to WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis.

@TeofimoLopez stay far away from them, they are cheaters and play very foul.

@Gervontaa be careful, they play very dirty on his team; very dirty. That’s all I can say at this moment

The last three days isn't the only time Schofield Sr. has accused Stevenson and his team of actions they felt were out of line. He's also gone after VADA and the WBC for the drug testing process and SNAC for its work with Stevenson.

@WBCBoxing is trying their best to help @ShakurStevenson

They sent this today because they want to take blood before the fight. We already is signed with @Vada_Testing

No way you’re stabbing KID arm before a fight to try to weaken him. We have blood taken 4 times by Vada pic.twitter.com/uWbab5GAZB

Did SNAC help him lose weight? Or enhance his training? 🤔 Or are they there to taint our win?

Karma is something when playing with Gods child. I have someone in my corner more powerful than Victor.

All praise be to God#boxing #boxingnews

Then, after all of these comments, Schofield Sr. went back on X, saying that they can't blame Stevenson or his team for the actions that have transpired over the last couple of days.

"In all due respect, we cannot blame Shakur or his team," he wrote. "I believe Shakur wanted to really fight KID. We wish Shakur and his team success. I hope we can fight in the near future. All things are forgiven."

Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) remains on the card and will fight Josh Padley (15-0, 4 KOs) on Saturday on "The Last Crescendo" at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia.
