Gervonta Davis, the rising star in the world of boxing, has been attracting attention from his rivals who are eager to challenge him. After his victory over Ryan Garcia in April, which was hailed as the biggest commercial fight of the year, Davis has become one of the hottest properties in the sport. It is estimated that the fight brought in over 1 million pay-per-view buys, solidifying his status as a box office draw.
However, Davis has recently been making headlines for his actions outside of the ring rather than inside it. He found himself serving time in jail after breaking a house arrest order, which is not the first time he has had trouble with the law.
Despite this, Davis believes that his own actions are the only thing that can jeopardize his superstardom. When asked about potential challengers like Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson, Davis confidently stated: “The only person that could beat me is Gervonta Davis. Those others cannot touch me at all.”
Davis has sparred with both Haney and Stevenson in the past and claims to have come out on top. He dismisses Haney as a threat, saying: “Devin Haney is no 50/50 fight. How are you going to keep me off him when he’s got no power?” Davis even recalls a sparring session where he almost knocked Haney out in Floyd Mayweather‘s gym. These statements show Davis’ self-assuredness and belief in his own abilities.
He’s focused on his return to the ring
While a potential fight with Haney may have to wait as he moves up to the 140 lbs weight class to take on Regis Prograis, Davis is focused on his own return to the ring before the end of the year. A rematch with Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz is currently the front-runner for his next fight. Davis is determined to continue his winning streak and prove himself as one of the best in the sport.
In the meantime, Stevenson has been struggling to find an opponent, but it appears he will face Edwin De Los Santos for the vacant WBC lightweight belt. The boxing world eagerly awaits these matchups, as Davis, Haney, and Stevenson all have their sights set on championship glory.
Gervonta Davis remains confident in his abilities and dismissive of his potential challengers. His recent legal troubles have not shaken his belief in himself, and he is determined to continue his rise to superstardom in the world of boxing.
