Zuffa Boxing Lands Its Biggest Signing Yet with Undefeated Champion Shakur Stevenson
Zuffa Boxing has secured its most significant signing to date, officially adding undefeated four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson (25-0) to its rapidly growing stable of elite fighters. The acquisition represents another major step in Dana White and Turki Alalshikh’s vision of building a promotion centered around making the biggest fights in boxing.
Stevenson, widely regarded as one of the sport’s premier pound-for-pound talents, enters Zuffa Boxing fresh off becoming a four-division world champion. The 29-year-old has established himself as one of boxing’s most technically gifted fighters, capturing world titles from featherweight through junior welterweight while maintaining an unblemished professional record.
Following the announcement, Stevenson made it clear what attracted him to the promotion and its philosophy.
“Now that I’m with Zuffa, we can make any fight happen. There are no restrictions. Boxing ain’t the same anymore. Zuffa is about fighting the best. So, let’s do it.”
The statement reflects one of the core messages Zuffa Boxing has emphasized since its launch—creating the biggest possible matchups by eliminating many of the promotional roadblocks that have historically prevented boxing’s marquee fights from materializing. Stevenson has long expressed a desire to face boxing’s biggest names, and his arrival immediately fuels speculation about future blockbuster bouts.
For Zuffa Boxing, landing a fighter of Stevenson’s caliber is another indication that the promotion is becoming a legitimate destination for world-class talent. Already considered among the sport’s elite, Stevenson gives the promotion a proven champion capable of headlining major events for years to come.
Footnote: Stevenson wasn’t the only notable addition to the Zuffa Boxing roster this week. Former bantamweight world champion Jason Moloney (29-4) has also signed a multi-fight promotional agreement with the company. Both Stevenson and Moloney arrive after competing under Top Rank Promotions, further strengthening Zuffa Boxing’s growing roster of established championship-caliber fighters.
