Unbeaten American Stevenson signs with Matchroom

Shakur Stevenson has 10 stoppages in 22 wins

Three-weight world champion Shakur Stevenson has signed a promotional deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom.

The WBC lightweight champion faces Welshman Joe Cordina on 12 October.

Hearn described Stevenson as one of the "pound-for-pound greats" and the American hopes Matchroom can deliver him the "biggest names" possible.

"We will be unstoppable in and out of the ring, and I will continue to show my dominance for many years to come in the sport of boxing," Stevenson said.

"Bring on William Zepeda at the top of 2025 and I'm ready for anyone who is brave enough to step in the ring with me.

"There have been few willing to take on that challenge in recent years."

Stevenson, 27, has won world titles at featherweight, super-featherweight and lightweight.

He is undefeated in 22 fights and won a silver medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

Hearn, who also promotes Cordina, says Stevenson might already be "unbeatable" as a fighter.

"This young man should be a global superstar, and I believe with our machine behind him, he will land all the big fights and receive all the credit that he deserves," Hearn said.
