Three-weight world champion Shakur Stevenson has signed a promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom. The undefeated lightweight champion is set to face Welshman Joe Cordina on October 12.
Hearn hailed Stevenson as one of the “pound-for-pound greats,” and the American expressed his hopes that Matchroom will help him secure fights with the “biggest names” in boxing.
“We will be unstoppable in and out of the ring, and I will continue to show my dominance for many years to come,” Stevenson said. “Bring on William Zepeda at the top of 2025, and I’m ready for anyone brave enough to step into the ring with me. There have been few willing to take on that challenge in recent years.”
At 27, Stevenson has claimed world titles at featherweight, super-featherweight, and lightweight and remains undefeated in 22 fights. He also won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Hearn, who also promotes Cordina, suggested that Stevenson might already be “unbeatable.” “This young man should be a global superstar, and with our machine behind him, he will land all the big fights and receive all the credit he deserves,” Hearn stated.
