After a week that saw George Kambosos defy the odds and dethrone unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez, Baltimore star Gervonta Davis said he would not take his replacement Isaac Cruz lightly on Sunday night. in Los Angeles.
Davis defends his regular WBA lightweight title, Mexico’s Cruz at the Staples Center, and says he’s fully aware of how big of a risk it is to ignore his foe.
“I can’t say exactly what will happen in the fight because that will be overlooked for him,” Davis said. “I won’t make the same mistake that other boxers have made. I’m ready to go 12 rounds and I’m looking forward to Sunday.
“He said that I had never faced someone like him, but he had never faced anyone like me. He can say what he wants to build the fight.
“I was as weak as Cruz before. I know that he is fully preparing and getting strong. I remember when my back was against the wall. It will die now and he comes to it, not only for himself but for his family. “
