Via Allan Fox: Shakur Stevenson says the ONLY reason Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis suddenly started mentioning his name on social media is because he has two games against Hector Luis Garcia and Ryan Garcia in 2023.
Invincible #2 WBO, #3 WBC, #5 IBF and #5 WBA Shakur Stevenson says he wants Tank Davis (27-0, 25 KOs) “send contract” come to him right after he finishes his match against Hector & Ryan next year.
2016 Olympic silver medalist Shakur (19-0.9 KO) says he feels he can beat Tank and he wants to face him as soon as possible to prove it to the world. gender.
Whether Stevenson has a chance to fight 28-year-old Gervonta is a big question. Be honest. It took that long for a 9-year professional Tank to fight his first super fight with Ryan in April.
Gervonta never fought Vasyl Lomachenko or Teofimo López as they promote a war against him.
Also, the tank STILL hasn’t fought Devin Haney despite the undefeated four-belt lightweight champion calling him 24/7 for a unified fight.
“He knew I was coming. He sensed the energy I was coming in,” Shakur Stevenson said fightNow, he is trying to raise his energy. I don’t really give too much of what he has to say.
“I don’t mind telling someone they’re a good fighter, but deep down, I feel like I can beat them. That’s how I feel about him,” Shakur said of Tank Davis.
“I think he is a great fighter. He’s fighting on pay-per-view, taking these guys down. That doesn’t take away from the fact that I can beat this guy. This doesn’t take away from the fact that this guy can’t beat me.
“I feel like he only said that because he had fights lined up [against Hector Luis Garcia and Ryan Garcia in 2023],” Stevenson said of the next two opponents that Gervonta arranges for the first half of next year.
You have two dates lined up, and you can say whatever you want about the other person unrelated to the people you’re fighting with.
“I am not on the list of people with whom he is fighting. He started talking about me because he had wars coming up. He has two matches lined up in January or April. Tell him to have that same energy after those fights.
“After he fought the Golden Girl [Ryan] Garcia, tell him to have the same energy he has on social media today. Tell him to send the contract over, or we’ll send him the contract. However it goes, tell him to fight me.
“Even in fencing, this guy is still a cap man; This guy is a liar. This guy is lying on social media,Shakur talked about Tank Davis. “Have you ever done anything in sparring against me? Richardson, someone with him, ask him.
“He was there in every practice session we had. He never cracked me. Maybe he landed well, but he never felt a shot. Never has he confused me, and never has he hurt me.
“I also landed good shots on him. So I am confused. When he talks about how he cracked me, he’s making up stories right now,” Shakur said.
