Alright, fight fans, get ready! Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing just confirmed a massive signing this Thursday: four-division champion Shakur Stevenson is now locked into a multi-fight promotional deal. This isn’t just *any* deal, either; Stevenson is Uncrowned’s No. 4 pound-for-pound boxer, holding the WBO super lightweight title after a dominant victory over Teofimo Lopez in January at Madison Square Garden.
The Biggest Fish For Zuffa Boxing Yet
This is seriously huge for Zuffa Boxing, as Stevenson is their most high-profile and accomplished fighter to date. He’s bringing his undefeated 25-0 record, with 11 KOs, to a stable that already includes names like Conor Benn and Jai Opetaia, who’s also an Uncrowned Top 10 pound-for-pound talent. Dana White didn’t mince words, calling Stevenson “one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world,” adding that he’s “29 years old, undefeated and already a four-division world champion.” White is hyped, saying it’s a “massive signing” and he’s looking forward to promoting the next fight.
Chasing That No. 1 Spot
Stevenson himself is already setting the bar high. “Line them up, one by one, and I’ll beat all the top guys once I get them in front of me,” he declared. “With Zuffa Boxing, I’m going to go after the biggest fights in the sport, and I will become the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.” This guy means business! What’s even better? He’s not just stuck on Paramount+. We’ll see him on Turki Alalshikh’s Ring Magazine and Riyadh Season events too. Remember, Stevenson was a free agent before he faced Lopez, with his previous deal expiring just last July after a win over William Zepeda.
Keep your eyes peeled, because Stevenson is chasing that No. 1 P4P spot, and he just found a new home to do it from. This is going to be electric!
