Three-weight world champion Shakur Stevenson has signed a promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.<\/b><\/p>\n

The WBC lightweight champion faces Welshman Joe Cordina<\/a> on 12 October.<\/p>\n

Hearn described Stevenson as one of the “pound-for-pound greats” and the American hopes Matchroom can deliver him the “biggest names” possible.<\/p>\n

“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,” Stevenson said.<\/p>\n

“Bring on William Zepeda at the top of 2025 and I’m ready for anyone who is brave enough to step in the ring with me. <\/p>\n

“There have been few willing to take on that challenge in recent years.”<\/p>\n

Stevenson, 27, has won world titles at featherweight, super-featherweight and lightweight.<\/p>\n

He is undefeated in 22 fights and won a silver medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016.<\/p>\n

Hearn, who also promotes Cordina, says Stevenson might already be “unbeatable” as a fighter.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
