Eddie Hearn, Not Zuffa, Reveals Shakur Stevenson’s Zuffa Signing

Shakur Stevenson has signed with Zuffa Boxing, Dana White's TKO-backed promotion, according to Matchroom chairman Eddie Hearn, who broke the news at an Anthony Joshua press conference on Monday. Hearn, who most recently promoted Stevenson for his January 2026 victory over Teofimo Lopez, confirmed the junior welterweight champion's move before Zuffa made any official announcement. Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated had first reported in early May that Stevenson was finalizing terms with Zuffa, with sources describing an official announcement as imminent.
