Shakur Stevenson ends Zuffa contract before even fighting for Dana White’s promotion

Shakur Stevenson has announced that he was granted his release from Zuffa Boxing, before fighting for the controversial new promotion even once. On Monday, Stevenson posted a video on his YouTube channel, speaking to camera and sharing the details of his release – which comes just three months after he signed for Zuffa. Zuffa, led by UFC chief Dana White and Saudi matchmaker Turki Alalshikh, entered boxing in January and made clear its desire to do away with the sport’s traditional belt system, introducing its own championships.
