Dana White Explains Why Shakur Stevenson Left Zuffa Boxing Without Fighting

Shakur Stevenson has left Zuffa Boxing without making his debut for the promotion. UFC CEO Dana White said he offered the unbeaten boxer a release, which Stevenson and his team accepted. White said the decision was mutual and insisted there was no bad blood. Stevenson had joined Zuffa Boxing amid talk of possible major bouts, including a clash with Devin Haney, but no fight was finalised. Stevenson later said some of the fights he wanted did not come together. Reports suggest he was interested in a high-paying bout with Manny Pacquiao but was offered other, less prominent opponents instead.
