Shakur Stevenson Agrees to Contract With Dana White's Zuffa Boxing, Reveals Opponents Eyed for Fight
Shakur Stevenson has agreed to a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing, per ESPN's Andreas Hale.
Zuffa Boxing co-founder and UFC CEO Dana White discussed the addition of Stevenson.
"Shakur is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. He's 29 years old, undefeated and already a four-division world champion," White said, via Hale. "This is a massive signing for Zuffa Boxing, and I'm looking forward to promoting this next fight."
Stevenson owns a 25-0 record with 11 knockouts throughout his career and has captured world championships in the featherweight, junior lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight divisions.
In his most recent bout, he earned the WBO junior welterweight title with a unanimous decision win over Teofimo Lopez Jr. on Jan. 31.
While Stevenson's next opponent isn't currently set, he's ready to be back in action.
"Line them up, one by one, and I'll beat all the top guys once I get them in front of me," Stevenson said Thursday, per Hale. "With Zuffa Boxing, I'm going to go after the biggest fights in the sport and I will become the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world."
He also revealed that his main focus is on Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis for his first fight with Zuffa Boxing during an appearance on SportsCenter (1:15 mark).
Stevenson became the latest boxer to sign with Zuffa Boxing and joins Conor Benn, Jai Opetaia, Richardson Hitchins and Edgar Berlanga.
