Dana White has addressed the growing talk around Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney potentially joining Zuffa Boxing, as more of the sport’s biggest names could soon move under the new promotional banner.
Speaking after Zuffa Boxing 06 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, White responded to reports linking Stevenson with a move by saying: “Possibly. Listen, I think that everybody’s going to be here at Zuffa Boxing eventually.”
White also mentioned Haney after Bill Haney’s recent social media post about a nine-figure contract offer. “Including Devin Haney after his dad put out that cryptic hundred-million-dollar contract message,” White said, predicting that many top fighters could be with Zuffa by the end of 2026.
White also announced that Zuffa Boxing will expand into the UK with events in Bournemouth, England, through a new agreement with Sky. He described boxing as more of a “European sport” commercially and framed the move as part of Zuffa’s wider growth.
Responding to criticism from Roy Jones Jr., White said the promotion treats fighters “like professional athletes” and added that disruption in the business will naturally “ruffle some feathers.” He again stressed Zuffa’s model of guaranteed contracts, saying fighters do not have to worry about their money changing after a loss.
