What Fans Are All Saying? – Fans Can’t Ignore This One Detail

What Fans Are All Saying - Fans Can’t Ignore This One Detail

The American has surprisingly suggested his fight with Roach could form a part of his final year in boxing, as he is considering retirement in 2025.

It would be a huge blow to the sport and a significant surprise if he chooses to hang up his gloves at the age of just 30, with potential big fights ahead of him.

Nonetheless Davis is preparing in the gym for his upcoming test, and appears to be taking things very seriously.

The American has shown off his current impressive shape, looking close to optimum fighting weight.

He posed for a photo flaunting his sensational physique, and is showing no signs that he has given on the sport yet.

And that is exactly what fans have spotted, suggesting it is a sign that he may well make a U-turn on retirement given he appears in motivated shape.

One reacted: “And you guys think he is going to retire. Clearly very motivated.”

Another wrote: “I thought he wasn’t condition. Thought he wasn’t disciplined.

“Thought he’s always blowing up and weight in between fights. This guy is serious.”

One wrote: “He looks so so good, wow. Roach is in trouble, there’s no way he’s retiring after that.”

A fan even added: “He must fight Loma [Vasyl Lomachenko] and Keyshawn [Davis]. He can’t retire in this shape.”

One final fan was less optimistic and concluded: “Getting in shape to knock out someone who never stood a chance against him in a million years.

“When will @Gervontaa fight a real threat?”

Davis has faced criticism over both his decision to retire and his recent opponents, having failed to spark the imagination since his incredible win over Ryan Garcia in April 2023.

It remains to be seen who he could fight after Roach if he takes another victory.

A raft of opponents have thrown their name in the hat including Shakur Stevenson, with huge demand for the pair to meet.

And when giving an update on the potential of a showdown taking place, Stevenson told talkSPORT.com: “He’s the big superstar.

“He’s the big name, the biggest pay-per-view superstar in the sport of boxing so with him being the biggest name and attraction it’s on him [to make it happen].

“The ball is in his court. I can’t say ‘I’m going to send him an offer’. Turki [Alalshikh] can.

“Turki has got the money, I don’t have the money to send Gervonta Davis a big enough offer.

Gervonta Davis Left Speechless – Is Gervonta Davis’ ‘Gangster’ Persona Falling Apart?

Gervonta Davis Left Speechless - Is Gervonta Davis’ ‘Gangster’ Persona Falling Apart?

WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis might be the face of boxing, but rising star Keyshawn Davis doesn’t think much of the Baltimore native. ‘The Businessman’ is geared to lock horns with WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk on February 14th at the Madison Square Garden Theater, New York, but hasn’t lost sight of ‘Tank.’

Much like the entire lightweight division, Keyshawn Davis has called out Davis for a fight several times. Akin to the rest of the folks, ‘Tank’ has refused to give Keyshawn the time of the day. However, this didn’t stop the Norfolk native from hitting Davis where it hurts the most. While appearing in an interview with Fight Hub TV recently, Keyshawn took digs at the WBA champion.

“I would love to face [Gervonta Davis]. … I just think he [doesn’t] have the balls to fight me. I really just feel that way… I don’t think he really got the balls to see me on contract and fight me,” Keyshawn Davis said. ‘The Businessman’ will fight for his first major title this weekend, and a win here technically puts him on the same level as Gervonta Davis.

‘Tank’, on the other hand, is expected to clash against WBA featherweight champion Lamount Roach Jr. on March 1st in Brooklyn. Regardless, Keyshawn Davis thinks if Gervonta was really up for it, it’s a very easy fight to make between them.

Later in the interview, the 25-year-old roped in David Benavidez, highlighting his situation with Canelo Alvarez. Benavidez, despite being Canelo’s mandatory for over a year, hasn’t been able to secure a fight. So, Keyshawn Davis wants to carve out his own path rather than chase Gervonta Davis to the end of the earth.

“I’m just waiting for him to send me a contract, bro,” Keyshawn said. “I feel like, with me and him, making a fight is easier because everybody knows who the A side is. Everybody knows what the f**k’s going on when it comes down to me and him as far as making a fight. I feel like it’s actually a really easy fight to make and it’s definitely easy promoting it.

”That said, it appears Keyshawn Davis is sick and tired of trying to convince Gervonta Davis to give him the fight that he deserves. However, whether they will ever meet in the ring is yet to be seen. Do you think Keyshawn Davis can beat Gervonta Davis? Let us know in the comments down below.

Shakur Stevenson Under Fire—Is He Really Dodging Gervonta Davis?

Shakur Stevenson Under Fire—Is He Really Dodging Gervonta Davis?

WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson is weeks away from his highly anticipated bout against rising star Floyd Schofield Jr. The bout is scheduled to unfold on the undercard of the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol rematch in Saudi Arabia. In the meantime, the Newark native has been accused of being a coward by Gervonta Davis’ team.

You see, ‘Sugar’ Stevenson has been asking for a fight against ‘Tank’ Davis for quite some time now. However, all he has received in return are insults. With Stevenson’s next fight on the doorstep, Davis’ co-trainer coach Kenny Ellis has accused Stevenson of being the one who is ducking a fight against Davis.

Davis, the WBA lightweight champion, will lock horns with WBA super featherweight champion Lamont Roach Jr. on March 1st in Brooklyn, a fight that has received backlash as the Baltimore native chose to fight someone from a lower weight class. Regardless, while appearing in an interview with Mill City Boxing recently, Ellis suggested Stevenson would use hand injury as an excuse to avoid fighting ‘Tank.’

For context, in October last year, Stevenson was scheduled to face Joe Cordina on the undercard of Beterbiev-Bivol. However, due to a hand injury, Stevenson had to pull out of the fight. Reports later revealed that Stevenson had to undergo surgery to fix the issue with his hand. In a recent interview with Matchroom Boxing, Stevenson claimed that his hand is much better now and shouldn’t cause any issues during or before the Schofield bout.

Regardless, Ellis feels the injury will come back after the Schofield bout. “Shakur will win his next fight,” Ellis told Mill City Boxing. “But he is gonna hurt his hands. Even if his hand ain’t hurt, it’s going to be hurt.” As to why this will happen, Ellis claimed, “That’s what you do when you trying to buy time.”

It’s also worth noting that ‘Tank’ Davis has previously revealed that he will retire after 2025. With the Roach fight in March, and Davis fighting twice a year, there’s only one fight left for ‘Tank’ if he sticks to his retirement claims. In contrast to Ennis’ claims about Stevenson, however, the WBC lightweight title holder sees a potential fight between them as a legacy-defining fight.

Shakur Stevenson isn’t buying the narrative that he’s the only one who needs a fight with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. While many believe Stevenson is chasing Davis, the reigning WBC lightweight champion sees it differently. In his eyes, their potential showdown is just as important for Davis’ legacy as it is for his own.

“Me and ‘Tank’ is the legacy-defining fight for each other,” Stevenson told Eze Talks Sports last month during the February 22nd Saudi card press conference. “A lot of people try to make it seem like I need him. But honestly, he needs me just as much as I need him.” However, before Stevenson can even dream of fighting Davis, he must make a statement finish against Schofield Jr.

And Stevenson’s attitude suggests he is planning to do exactly that. “There’s gonna be a lot of big fights but I gotta focus on the task in front of me,” Stevenson said. “Then we can talk about the next guy and the guys after that.”

Having said that, it appears coach Kenny Ellis is under the impression that Shakur Stevenson is ducking Gervonta Davis. However, from the outside looking in, it seems like the Davis fight is Stevenson’s ultimate goal. But you be the judge of who is ducking who. Regardless, if they were to fight, who do you think would win?
