Overview
- Zuffa Boxing has signed Shakur Stevenson to a multi-fight deal, a move that instantly raised talk of a high-profile Stevenson vs. Gervonta Davis matchup.
- Dana White said he has spoken with Davis and is interested in working with him, remarks made during Zuffa Boxing’s late July post-fight press events.
- Davis has not fought since a controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr. in March 2025 and a scheduled exhibition with Jake Paul was canceled after legal accusations that were later dropped.
- Reporting from Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppinger cites Al Haymon saying Davis likely will not be ready to fight before the first quarter of 2027 and Davis’s current contract status with PBC is described as unclear.
- Zuffa’s effort to land Davis faces practical hurdles, including rival deals such as DAZN signing Devin Haney, Davis’s legal and training uncertainty, and the need to resolve contractual questions before any mega-fight can be made.
