Shakur Stevenson said on 19 October that his request to leave Zuffa Boxing had been granted. His own announcement is the source for the opening story in our 20 October news edition.
The announcement concerns his promotional position. It does not, by itself, confirm a new promoter, an opponent or a fight date. Our episode keeps those questions separate from what Stevenson actually said.
Watch the opening section for his statement and the context included in the published briefing.
From our 20 October 2026 edition; added to the website on 24 October. Status statements describe that edition, not a live update.
