Shakur Stevenson potential boxing matchups

Overview

Speculation regarding potential opponents for Shakur Stevenson has shifted between different boxing figures. Initially, Dana White of Zuffa Boxing denied rumors of a fight between Stevenson and Manny Pacquiao, stating, “That’s not true. I don’t know where that came from.” Instead, reports suggested Zuffa Boxing was pursuing a unification bout with Gary Antuanne Russell.

Following these developments, Devin Haney has reignited interest in a matchup against Stevenson via social media. Previous negotiations between Haney and Stevenson reportedly stalled due to disagreements over weight classes, specifically Stevenson’s request for a 144-pound catchweight versus Haney’s preference for the standard 147-pound welterweight limit.
