Unbeaten American Shakur Stevenson signs with Matchroom

Shakur Stevenson, the three-weight world champion, has agreed to a promotional agreement with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.

The WBC lightweight champion will meet Welshman Joe Cordina on October 12.

Stevenson is one of the “pound-for-pound greats,” according to Hearn, and the American is hoping Matchroom can get him the “biggest names” available.

“We will be unstoppable in and out of the ring, and I will continue to show my dominance for many years to come in the sport of boxing,” added Stevenson.

“I’m ready for anyone who is bold enough to enter the ring with me at the end of 2025, so bring on William Zepeda.

“There have been few willing to take on that challenge in recent years.”

Stevenson, 27, has won world titles at featherweight, super-featherweight and lightweight.

He is undefeated in 22 fights and won a silver medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

Hearn, who also promotes Cordina, says Stevenson might already be “unbeatable” as a fighter.

“This young man should be a global superstar, and I believe with our machine behind him, he will land all the big fights and receive all the credit that he deserves,” Hearn said.
