Gervonta Davis tells George Kambosos he doesn’t want belts, he’ll ‘hit him for free’ Boxing News 24
Via Chris Williams: Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis says he doesn’t want George Kambosos Jr’s four lightweight belts. As far as Tank is concerned, the Australian boxer can keep his titles, and he will smack him in the back for free.
Kambosos, 28, is fishing around looking for an opponent for his first four-belt title defense after beating IBF/WBA/WBC Franchise/WBO lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez by bout decided to split 12 rounds last Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Teofimo looks like a dead man walking in a mind-boggling match, and it’s no surprise that he lost the match. For anyone who knows what it feels like to lose 15 to 20 lbs of water weight in a week of fighting, it’s been torture, and it’s hard to get close to 100% after putting your body through that.
“Tell him to keep the belt. I will hit **he for free,” Gervonta Davis talks about Kambosos.
Tank (25-0, 24 KOs) was told that Kambosos (20-0, 10 KOs) would likely want to fight him, but he didn’t mind. He doesn’t want his title, and that’s understandable.
Unlike some fighters, 27-year-old Tank doesn’t need a bunch of titles be confirm in the eyes of the boxing public. Collecting belts is by no means increasingly popular. Ask Terence Crawford about it. He will tell you.
Acquiring all those titles is a pain because the undefeated superstar Tank will have a hard time battling a bunch of unknown contenders and have to pay exorbitant sanction fees for the winners. Alphabet regulators like Kambosos will soon do.
Kambosos has yet to announce who he will fight next, but I’m sure he wasn’t expecting it to be the Davis Tank. The Australian is brave, but he is not stupid. If Kambosos faced Gervonta in the first defense of his four belts, he would lose them instantly and be killed. back to the bottom of the stairs.
Once the Kambosos loses the title, Chris Williams will not see him NEVER win another world title. He was too basic, flawed, and weak to beat a weightless fighter with strength.
You could argue the only reason Kambosos beat Teofimo was that the guy had a bad year with COVID-19, sat motionless for 13 months, put on weight, and faced a lot of stress in his life. .
In addition, Teofimo also injured his biceps and suffered from asthma. It is a problem solver witch that Teofimo had peace of mind going into the fight with Kambosos, and it was a miracle that he made it through the full 12 rounds without falling.
If Kambosos fights any top light on his first defense, he will be destroyed. His promoter Lou DiBella will likely direct him to safer waters to defend the double or triple milking title.
DiBella won’t throw Kambosos to the dogs, knowing he can make a lot of blue out of Australian PPV and fight in stadiums.
“He throws more punches. That’s why I probably said it,” Davis said of Pitbull Cruz being a busier boxer than kt Rolly Romero. “He is shorter, I wouldn’t say stronger, but he can hit. He is someone who will be there.
“When I was an amateur, I fought a lot of smaller guys. Even when I was a pro, I fought with lower people. I just need to adapt to whoever I am in the ring.
“If someone beats me, it will be a game. It won’t be for me. It won’t be because of me that I’ll sleep on the next person. That would be someone who beats me and is someone better than me,” said Gervonta.
“I’m definitely willing to give him a shot and give him some money,” said Tank Davis when asked about fighting Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero.
