Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson remain on a collision course for a potential ‘super fight’ in the future.
‘Tank’ Davis currently holds the WBA lightweight title, making the most recent defence of his crown back in March when he fought to a majority decision draw against countryman Lamont Roach Jr, although many fans and analysts believe the challenger had done enough to be declared the winner.
As for Stevenson, the 28-year-old Newark-native reigns as the WBC world champion at 135lbs with his latest defence coming against William Zepeda on July 12, defeating the previously unbeaten Mexican via unanimous decision at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York City.
Despite fans calling for a showdown between the American duo for a number of years now, the fight is yet to come to fruition with both fighters seemingly on different paths as it stands.
Speaking on Sway’s Universe, former Showtime and current PBC executive Stephen Espinoza revealed to Stevenson that ‘Tank’ has expressed his desire to face the unbeaten WBC lightweight champion on multiple occasions in the past, sparking rumours that a showdown between the duo could take place sooner than expected.
“I’ll tell you this. Tank has definitely said repeatedly ‘I want to fight Shakur, I want to fight Shakur.”
Davis is set to make his return to the ring later this year as he gears up to face Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
Stevenson is expected to return to the ring for the 25th time as a professional in the early stages of 2026, with rumours circulating that the 28-year-old will move up to super-lightweight to challenge WBO world champion Teofimo Lopez next.
