Zuffa Boxing just landed a massive one.
Undefeated four-division world champion superstar Shakur Stevenson has signed a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing, the new boxing venture led by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White and backed by some serious combat sports muscle.
Stevenson, 29, is already considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing and is looking to become the face of Zuffa Boxing as the promotion continues to make massive waves in the sweet science. He is also coming off a one-way beatdown of Teofimo Lopez, capturing the WBO and The Ring junior welterweight ***** les in the process (watch highlights).
“Line them up, one by one, and I’ll beat all the top guys once I get them in front of me,” Stevenson said in a press release. “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.”
That is exactly the kind of talk White loves.
