Promoter Names the Biggest Fight for Gervonta Davis

Promoter Names the Biggest Fight for Gervonta Davis

British promoter and Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn, who represents WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson (22-0, 10 KO), shared his thoughts on the biggest possible fight for WBA lightweight titleholder Gervonta "Tank" Davis (30-0, 27 KO).

"If everyone acts sensibly—what other fights are there for Tank?

His next fight will be solid, but his opponent is a super featherweight (Lamont Roach—editor’s note). Tank will want to be in big fights. He’ll want to make big money, and I think the biggest fight for him is a showdown with Shakur Stevenson—and vice versa," said Hearn.

Stevenson's next bout is set for February 22, where he will face British fighter Josh Padley (15-0, 4 KO) as a replacement for Floyd Schofield.

Meanwhile, Davis will return to the ring on March 1 in a fight against Lamont Roach.
