BIG NEWS! Gervonta Davis IS NOT GIVEN A CHANCE TO WIN IN A FIGHT Shakur Stevenson / Devin Haney
BIG NEWS! Gervonta Davis IS NOT GIVEN A CHANCE TO WIN IN A FIGHT Shakur Stevenson Devin Haney The president of Showtime Sports, Steven Espinosa, told when the winner of the WBA Regular lightweight title, American Gervonta Davis, can return to the ring. "It all depends on what physical condition he is in. Davis hasn't been to the gym in months. This requires some adjustments. Besides, he has things to do outside the ring. His goal is to return as soon as possible. If there is an opportunity to hold a duel before the end of the year, then we will certainly do it. If not, he will fight at the beginning of the next one. As for the opponent, we haven't really discussed this topic yet. It's hard to talk about opponents when you don't even have an estimated time to return yet. I've heard people talk about Chris Colbert and Isaac Cruz. This is all speculation, because nothing has been done yet and nothing is ready," Espinosa said. Absolute world champion in the second middleweight Saul Alvarez said that he sees the point in the fight of Terence Crawford against Jervonta Davis. At the same time, Canelo is convinced that Crawford will be a clear favorite if this fight takes place. "I don't think anyone in the welterweight or first middleweight division will beat Crawford. We don't know if he will beat everyone in the middle division, but no one will beat him below. He's a great fighter. I can't go down any lower to fight him. I saw an interview where Crawford stated: "If I fight with Gervonta Davis, everyone will say that he is too small. This victory won't give me anything." We don't know if Davis would have been able to compete with Crawford. He is also a great talent, a wonderful fighter. They can fight. Will Davis beat Crawford? We don't know. Why don't they have a fight? But Crawford will be a big favorite," Alvarez said in an interview with The Breakfast Club. The famous American trainer Robert Garcia commented on Floyd Mayweather's words about the need to arrange a fight of the WBC and WBO world champion in the second lightest weight Naoi Inoue against the undefeated lightweight Jervonta Davis. "Inoue is a great fighter, but he's too small. We are talking about lifting three weight categories. In this case, he is not talking about the "Tank" fight against Charlo in the first middleweight. That's also a difference of three divisions, right? Even take Terence Crawford. Mayweather is not talking about Davis fighting Crawford. So you can look at it from two sides. It's clear that Mayweather prefers Davis to have an advantage. But in reality it wouldn't be a bad fight. I think Inoue is a tough guy. It seems to me that the "Tank" is not much higher than it. Maybe even Inoue is a little taller or they are the same height," Garcia said. Former world champion in two weight categories Shakur Stevenson plans to fight for the WBC title in the third weight category — lightweight — on November 16 in Las Vegas The 26-year-old American Stevenson was a mandatory contender for the WBC lightweight title and sought a fight for the title against the absolute world champion Devin Haney, but he decided to rise to the first welterweight for a fight with the WBC champion in this weight Regis Progreis. "We'll see what the WBC decides," Stevenson's co—promoter Bob Arum said in an interview about the boxer's rival in the fight for the vacant title. — They will have to go from top to bottom in the rating and find someone who has the opportunity to fight." After Haney's decision to move up to the next weight, the WBC granted him the status of "champion on vacation", giving him the opportunity to immediately fight for the title in the event of a return to lightweight "We believe he will return to the ring in early 2024,— Arum said. — He is very high in the ratings of all the leading federations, and he will fight for the world title, just not against Shakur Stevenson, who will enter the ring at the end of this year." Once George Kambosos Jr. took off his gloves following his second defeat to Devin Haney, he seriously contemplated whether or not he ever wanted to put them back on. (photo by Ryan Hafey) Those consecutive losses came at the expense of his WBO, WBA, IBF, and WBC “Franchise” lightweight titles, an achievement he worked his entire life for. Did the Australian native truly want to work his way back from the ground up? That process seemed exhausting. But, after recharging his batteries and finding that spark, the 30-year-old came to the conclusion that he still had plenty left to give. In his first fight back, Kambosos (20-2, 10 KOs) took on what many considered to be a relatively soft touch in Maxi Hughes. But while the former IBO champ was expected to come over stateside, collect a check, and leave his belt at the door, he gave Kambosos all he could handle.
