After analyst, Stephen A. Smith prioritized Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson over ‘Tank’ vs. Vasyl Lomachenko, Kenny Ellis, one of Davis’ trainers, echoed Smith and announced ‘Tank’ would face Shakur first in the ring. Taking to Instagram, Ellis announced that Lomachenko would “step aside” for the time being and fight the winner of Shakur Stevenson vs. Gervonta Davis in 2025. However, later, coach Kenny Ellis revealed that he was only joking and a fight discussion with Lomachenko is still ongoing. Here, as Davis’ name is being linked to stars like Lomachenko and Shakur, ShowBizz the Adult believes the party is just getting started for ‘Tank’!
As per ShowBizz the Adult, even though Gervonta Davis has had 30 professional fights since his debut, it seems like ‘Tank’ has yet to expose his true potential to the public. This is something that makes Davis different from his contemporaries. So, in ShowBizz the Adult’s opinion, a fight against two-time Olympic gold medalist and current IBF Lightweight champion, Vasyl Lomachenko is essential to the growth of Davis’ resume.
“Gevonta Davis is talking about fighting Lomanchenko [and] I’m very high on that fight. But a lot of you guys would prefer ‘Tank’ vs. Shakur and prefer ‘Tank’ vs. ‘Pitbull’. And you know what that means? That Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis has left a lot on his plate,” began ShowBizz the Adult.
Should Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Gervonta Davis take place now?
Just when we started talking about Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Gervonta Davis, analyst, Stephen A. Smith claimed that the Ukrainian boxer was deficient in power. And according to Smith, “If you can’t punch with power,” you do not have a chance against Gervonta Davis. So, while Smith acknowledged Lomachenko’s intelligence and skills, he was unsure about the latter’s fate against ‘Tank.’ But, Shakur Stevenson felt otherwise.
As per Shakur’s understanding, although Lomachenko is about to exit his prime, the Ukrainian boxer is “no pushover.” “With the experience he’s got and the knowledge, I think it could be a tremendous fight,” Stevenson had said.
And echoing Shakur, CEO of Top Rank, Bob Arum had declared, “We’re up for that fight [Davis]. Lomachenko’s up for that.” In Arum’s opinion, Lomachenko vs. Davis has the potential to exceed Davis vs. Shakur as far as financial gain is concerned.
