William Zepeda Picks the Best Lightweight – And It’s Not Himself

WBC interim lightweight champion William Zepeda has named who he believes is the best fighter in the division—and it’s not himself. According to Zepeda, that title belongs to WBA champion Gervonta Davis.

“Gervonta Davis is one of the toughest fighters in the division. I think he’s the best lightweight, and I’d love to fight him,” Zepeda stated.

Zepeda is set to return to the ring on March 29 in a rematch against Tevin Farmer.

Davis, meanwhile, will step into the ring on March 1 to face Lamont Roach. Detailed fight statistics can be found via RTFight at this link.
