The world of professional boxing was shaken by a loud announcement: American Shakur Stevenson has officially signed a contract with Zuffa Boxing. This collaboration, organized by UFC president Dana White, promises to radically change the balance of power in the sport and give fans the most anticipated fights of modern times.

A New Career Vector

The 29-year-old undefeated champion has decided on a radical change of strategy. Stevenson is convinced that working with Dana White will be the key to the pinnacle of world boxing. His ambitions are not limited to one weight class: the boxer aims for leadership in the ranking of the best fighters on the planet regardless of weight (P4P).

The mood of the new Zuffa fighter can be characterized as aggressive and determined. Shakur did not hide his plans, challenging the entire elite:

"Line them up, one by one, and I will beat all the top fighters as soon as they are in front of me".

Dana White's Assessment

The head of the promotion company is not holding back his emotions, calling the signing of the contract a historic moment for Zuffa Boxing. White emphasizes the uniqueness of Stevenson's talent, noting that at such a young age — just 29 — the athlete has already become the king of four divisions.

The Path to the Top

Stevenson's career is a story of constant triumph. It all started with a silver medal at the Olympic Games, after which he turned professional. Currently, his record stands at 25 fights and 25 wins. No losses.

Stevenson is one of the few in history to have collected titles in four weight classes:

  • Lightweight;
  • Super Lightweight;
  • Lightweight;
  • Junior Welterweight.

Major Victories and Recent Events

Among the boxer's major achievements are victories over such elite opponents as Oscar Valdez and William Zepeda. However, the brightest page of recent months was the fight on the legendary Madison Square Garden arena. In January, Stevenson sensationally defeated Teofimo Lopez, who was previously known as the one who beat Ukrainian Vasiliy Lomachenko.

Currently, Shakur Stevenson holds a confident third place in the P4P ranking according to The Ring magazine. Notably, Alexander Usyk continues to appear in the list of the best fighters on the planet, despite his decision to relinquish his championship belts.
