Zuffa Boxing Dead? Ariel Helwani & Ade React to Shakur's Shocking Release, What's Next for Dubois
What was said
"Shakur Stevenson was the jewel in the crown he will be and I still think potentially is the face of US boxing so to lose him after not having a right, is embarrassing. Let's just let's just cut out all the rubbish. It's it's this is embarrassing. It's diabolical."
Ade Oladipo argues Zuffa Boxing’s decision to release Shakur Stevenson is embarrassing and a “massive black eye” for the promotion. He says the outfit signed a marquee fighter without lining up viable opponents, and suggests it failed to secure the fights Stevenson wanted at 140.
