Three-weight world champion Shakur Stevenson has inked a promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, setting the stage for high-profile bouts in the near future. The undefeated WBC lightweight champion, who boasts a 22-0 record, will next face Welsh fighter Joe Cordina on 12 October.
Hearn, who praised Stevenson as one of boxing’s “pound-for-pound greats,” expressed confidence that the 27-year-old American could become “unbeatable.” Stevenson, who has already claimed world titles in featherweight, super-featherweight, and lightweight divisions, is eager to secure top-tier opponents, including a potential clash with William Zepeda in early 2025.
Stevenson, a silver medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, believes his partnership with Matchroom will elevate his career to new heights, allowing him to continue his dominance in the sport. As he prepares for his upcoming fight with Cordina, Stevenson remains focused on taking on all challengers who are brave enough to step into the ring with him.
