Since the start of the year, adviser Al Haymon has been on signing spree, with several fighters joining his already impressive, and very large, stable of fighters. Among those to ink contracts include Adonis Stevenson, Robert Guerrero, Rances Barthelemy, Chad Dawson and Luis Collazo.

Because of Haymon's signing spree, rumors have run wild all over industry with several fighters being linked to potentially joining Haymon's stable.

One of the fighters being linked to Haymon in the last few weeks is middleweight contender Curtis Stevens (27-4, 20KOs), who last Friday saw himself on the verge of an upset loss, but used his heavy hands to stop Tureano Johnson in the final minute of the tenth and final round.

Veteran coach Andre Rozier, who trains Stevens, reached out to BoxingScene.com to kill that rumor before it gets any bigger.

"I don't know where it's coming from but its absolutely false. Al has never approached us about working with him," Rozier stated to BoxingScene.com.
