Shakur Stevenson Linked to Potential Fights with Lamont Roach and Devin Haney

Former featherweight champion Lamont Roach said the matchup with lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson would be "the best fight at 135 for sure" and urged Stevenson to agree to a bout, regardless of the weight class. Roach highlighted that a fight between them could settle supremacy in the division and has been pushing for the meeting for months.

Meanwhile, WBO lightweight champion Devin "The Dream" Haney expressed openness to a catch‑weight showdown with Stevenson at 144 pounds. Promoter Zuffa Boxing is positioning the possible encounter as its first major event, and talks have involved both fighters’ camps and Matchroom Boxing chairman Eddie Hearn. Both potential fights remain unconfirmed as negotiations over purse splits and broadcast rights continue.
