Shakur vs Gervonta: Oscar De La Hoya Predicts a Brutal Knockout

Head of Golden Boy Promotions Oscar De La Hoya revealed who he’d back if WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis (30‑0‑1, 28 KOs) meets WBC titleholder Shakur Stevenson (24‑0, 11 KOs).

– Can we hear your prediction for a potential Shakur Stevenson–Gervonta Davis fight? I know Shakur just boxed one of your fighters, but who do you think wins?

– Oh, that’s a good question. They have very different styles. Shakur works off the back foot, keeps his distance, lands one‑twos.

Gervonta Davis, in my view, takes more risks, comes forward—and I think he carries more power. So I’m picking Davis.

– He beats Shakur?

– By brutal knockout, – De La Hoya said.
