Gervonta Davis Agrees To Fight Shakur Stevenson Under One Condition: “Then We Can Get It On”
Gervonta Davis is willing to take on Shakur Stevenson.
Davis is the current WBA lightweight champion, while Stevenson holds the WBC belt, meaning a unification fight between the two has been linked for a while.
While they may have not shared the ring yet, a heated rivalry between the two men is already present, with plenty of insults thrown back and forth.
‘Tank’ hasn’t held back with his assessment of Stevenson, dismissing claims that it would be a tough fight for him whilst talking to Cigar Talk.
“Hell no! How is he the best? Show me something that he’s done that’s outrageous. Show me. His power isn’t outrageous and what defence? He just jumps back, you never see him slip any punches, you never see that. Go watch him, you just see him back up and move around, move around, he ain’t got no technique.
His offence is the same thing. Go look at his fights. Easy work. I touched him with 16 ounce gloves on and he ran, imagine if I hit him with eight ounce gloves.”
Davis then revealed the one thing that needs to happen in order for him to face Stevenson.
“Tell him to rematch Edwin De Los Santos and if he beats him we can get it on. I guarantee you he won’t fight that guy again. I guarantee it.”
Stevenson had a much criticised performance when he met De Los Santos in November 2023, claiming a narrow unanimous decision win.
Another man who has weighed into the Davis vs. Stevenson debate is William Zepeda, the current mandatory challenger for the WBC title, revealing who he deems to be the best out of the two men.
