‘Everybody’s going to be here’: Dana White predicts boxing’s biggest names will join Zuffa Boxing

Dana White said he believes the sport’s top fighters will eventually compete under the Zuffa Boxing banner as the promotion continues to expand its roster and stage matchups between undefeated contenders.

White made the comments following Zuffa Boxing 6 at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas on Sunday night while addressing reports linking fighters including Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney to the promotion. Zuffa Boxing has already signed fighters such as Conor Benn and Jai Opetaia as it continues building its roster.

“Possibly,” said White, according to BoxingNews24, when asked whether Stevenson could join Zuffa Boxing. “Listen, I think that everybody’s going to be here at Zuffa Boxing eventually.”

White also referenced recent remarks from Bill Haney regarding a reported $100 million offer tied to Devin Haney’s future. “Including Devin Haney after his dad put out that cryptic hundred-million-dollar contract message,” said White, according to BoxingNews24. White added that the promotion’s focus remains on competitive matchmaking. “When the best fight the best, that’s what everybody wants to see,” he said.

“A great card top to bottom with lots of up-and-coming prospects, lots of undefeated guys fighting undefeated guys,” said White, while discussing Sunday’s event. White also said fighters would not be penalised financially for defeats under the promotion’s model. “Nobody has to worry about being cut or their money being changed with a loss,” he said. “That’s how it works.”

White has repeatedly stated that he expects the promotion’s biggest growth to come closer to 2027 as more fighters enter the system and rivalries develop within the roster. “Judge us by our body of work as we head into ’27,” said White. “They’re only going to get better.”
