Yes Shakur has been calling out Loma for a while but after Loma lost to Haney they were both ranked as 1 and 2 by the WBC. The fight could've easily been made.
Shakur sent Loma an offer and Loma rejected it saying he was taking time off for the Ukraine war. Then shortly after he's negotiating a Kambosos fight. The Shakur fight would've made the winner Haney's mandatory. Which was why Shakur became Haney's mandatory instead and Haney vacated his belt to fight Prograis. This meant that Shakur could fight De Los Santos for the vacant belt. Loma would've been in a position to either fight for Haney's mandatory or the vacant belt if he fought Shakur.
Shakur was the mandatory challenger for Haney's WBC belt when he moved up in weight and beat Yoshino. If Loma fought him he would've been Haney's mandatory. Also once Haney vacated Loma would've been fighting for the WBC belt instead. He chose to wait a year to fight Kambosos.
Loma would've been 35 at the time which isn't that old for most elite boxers.

He's been asking to fight Loma since he moved up in weight. It's Loma who rejected the fight a year ago.
