Arum Names Three Boxers Who Will Defeat Gervonta

Promoter Bob Arum would like to see WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis fight against one of his clients:

"Davis is an excellent fighter and a major attraction. Of course, we would like to arrange a match with Stevenson, Lomachenko, or Lopez against him and see how well they perform.

I want our guys to win. All three would beat Gervonta. I believe that, but that's precisely why fights are held. Again, we are open to any option.

Most likely, everything will happen as it is happening now. The Saudis might hold the fight after Ramadan, writing checks to the fighters in the summer. And that will end all the talks about percentages.

Everything else will be simple once you agree on the money and percentages. Everything else is nonsense," Arum said.

Theo's next opponent will be Jamaine Ortiz. Their fight is scheduled for February. Lomachenko is expected to meet George Kambosos in Australia in April for the IBF title.
