LOS ANGELES—Shakur Stevenson, one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in boxing, has signed a multifight deal with Zuffa Boxing, Stevenson tells Sports Illustrated.
Stevenson, 29, has been a sought-after free agent the last few months. In January, he scored a lopsided decision win over Teofimo Lopez to pick up a 140-pound title, becoming a world champion in his fourth weight division. Zuffa, fronted by UFC boss Dana White, is a joint venture between Saudi Arabia–based company Sela and TKO Group Holdings.
