When asked about reports linking Shakur to Zuffa Boxing, White didn’t dismiss the chance.
“Possibly,” Dana White said when asked whether Shakur Stevenson could join Zuffa Boxing. “Listen, I feel that everyone’s going to be here at Zuffa Boxing eventually.”
Dana didn’t say what he meant by “everybody” will meet up with Zuffa. He’s already signed Conor Benn and Jai Opetaia. In the event that they ink Shakur and Haney, it will be a large start for the corporate.
White then specifically referenced Devin Haney after recent comments from Bill Haney a few reported $100 million offer connected to Devin’s future.
“Including Devin Haney after his dad put out that cryptic hundred-million-dollar contract message.”
Zuffa Boxing has aggressively expanded during its first several months, signing prospects and constructing cards around undefeated fighters facing each other as an alternative of protecting records.
White pointed toward Sunday’s event for instance of the direction the corporate desires to proceed moving.
“When the very best fight the very best, that’s what everybody desires to see.”
“An awesome card top to bottom with plenty of up-and-coming prospects, plenty of undefeated guys fighting undefeated guys,” said Dana.
White also explained that Zuffa wants fighters to take risks without worrying about losing leverage after a defeat.
“No person has to fret about being cut or their money being modified with a loss,” said Dana. “That’s how it really works.”
White has repeatedly said he expects Zuffa Boxing’s biggest progress to return closer to 2027 as more fighters enter the promotion’s system and rivalries begin developing naturally contained in the roster.
“Judge us by our body of labor as we head into ’27,” White said. “They’re only going to improve.”
