Shakur Stevenson Won’t Deny Devin Haney Fight Talk

“Just let them keep talking. They keep talking, and that’s good. So, I ain’t confirming or denying nothing. Everybody just keep tuning in,” said Shakur to Fighthype when asked if he’s signing with Zuffa and fighting Haney.

The unbeaten Stevenson avoided giving a direct answer, but he also made no effort to cool off the speculation surrounding his future. Rumors about a possible move involving Zuffa Boxing and a fight against Haney have continued to circulate in recent weeks, especially after Dana White publicly praised Stevenson following his recent performances.

When told that “Dana really wants you,” Stevenson pointed back to his work inside the ring.

“I did everything I was supposed to do my last fight, and I’m keep doing it,” said Shakur.

Stevenson also gave his thoughts on Davis’ performance earlier in the interview and believed the fight could have ended sooner if more attention had been paid to body work.

“I feel like if Keyshawn went to the body earlier, that was over.”

No official announcement has been made regarding Stevenson signing with Zuffa Boxing or facing Haney next. Shakur’s response, though, did little to slow the talk surrounding either possibility. Stevenson is also currently a promotional free agent after his recent one-fight deal with Matchroom.
