Shakur Stevenson entered the ring to the tune of ‘I Just Can’t Wait To Be King’ from The Lion King ahead of his WBC lightweight title fight against Josh Padley.
Undefeated in 25 professional fights, he has held world titles at featherweight, super-featherweight, lightweight and now super-lightweight.
As well as outstanding victories over Lopez, winners of both Vassily Lomachenko and Josh Taylor, Stevenson has also dominated elite fighters such as Oscar Valdez, William Zepeda and Robson Conceicao.
“Line them up one by one, and I’ll beat all the top guys when I get them in front of me,” Stevenson said.
“With Zuffa Boxing, I’m going to go after the biggest fights in the sport and I’m going to be the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world.”
Zuffa Boxing promoter Dana White said: “Shakur is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
“He is 29 years old, undefeated and already a four-division world champion. This is a huge deal for Zuffa Boxing, and I look forward to promoting this next fight.”
