"Time to Kick Ass." Possible Opponents for Gervonta

On the night of June 16 in Las Vegas, USA, WBA lightweight champion (up to 61.2 kg) Gervonta Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) successfully defended his title by knocking out Frank Martin in the 8th round.

Even before the show, some were looking past Martin and choosing the next opponent for "Tank." For example, the founder and head of the promotional company Top Rank, Bob Arum, stated that negotiations have been ongoing for several weeks about a fight with IBF champion Vasyl Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs), which could take place in November this year.

After the fight with Frank, Gervonta was asked about a bout with the Ukrainian and other potential opponents.

"Lomachenko? Of course, yes, of course. I'm ready to fight everyone... My prediction for that fight? Time to kick ass.

Ryan Garcia? He's crazy, asked for a rematch. Told me that I'm the best in lightweight, that he wants to fight again. I'll kick his ass again.

Shakur Stevenson? Everyone in this room knows how that would go. I think it would be good for the sport if we fought now or later," said Davis.
