  • Canelo Didn’t Hesitate When Asked Who Wins Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson: “My Money’s On Him”


    A lightweight unification between Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson may be the hardest bout in boxing to call, but unified super-middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez has backed a winner.

    Stevenson embodies the phrase ‘hit and don’t get hit,’ utilising stellar movement, defence and speed to frustrate opponents on his way to comfortable points wins. Though he has been critised for being less than entertaining in his last two bouts, he has told fans that he will show his best when he is in with the best.

    Enter ‘Tank’ Davis, who has been taken the distance just twice in 30 fights. The knockout artist from Baltimore has one of the most impressive highlight reels in the sport and has been said to have seriously hurt men much heavier than him in the gym.

    Could he decode Stevenson, close the distance and land his significant power punches? Canelo believes so, telling Sway in the Morning that he respects both men but backs Davis.

    “Shakur Stevenson is a good fighter, he moves a lot and it’s very difficult to hit him but I like Gervonta Davis, he’s a really good fighter. He hits hard and he knows how to go forward. I put my money on Gervonta.”

    Both men have fights in the coming weeks, with Stevenson defending his WBC belt against hot prospect Floyd Schofield in Saudi Arabia on February 22 before ‘Tank’ puts his WBA strap on the line against Lamont Roach Jr in Brooklyn on March 1.

    Should they come through as expected, there is no better match-up in the division to be made. That does not mean that negotiations will be easy, however, with the fight struggling to get made in the past and Davis adamant he will be retiring at the end of this year.



    Canelo Didn’t Hesitate When Asked Who Wins Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson: “My Money’s On Him”

    In a recent interview, boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez was asked for his thoughts on the potential matchup between Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson. Without hesitation, Canelo confidently declared, “My money’s on him,” indicating that he believes Stevenson would come out victorious in a bout against Davis.

    This bold statement from Canelo adds even more hype to a potential showdown between two of the sport’s rising stars. Stevenson, a highly skilled and technically sound fighter, has been making waves in the featherweight and super featherweight divisions, while Davis, known for his explosive power and aggressive style, has been a dominant force in the super featherweight and lightweight divisions.

    Fans are eagerly anticipating a matchup between these two talented fighters, and with Canelo’s endorsement of Stevenson, the excitement for a potential showdown is only growing. While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, one thing is for sure – if these two fighters do step into the ring together, it’s sure to be an explosive and highly entertaining fight.

  • Mikey Garcia doesn’t want to see Gervonta Davis fight Shakur Stevenson


    Former champion Mikey Garcia chats with Fight Hub TV about what he thinks of the matchup between Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Lamont Roach on the horizon, and why he’s not excited about the prospect of Tank fighting Shakur Stevenson in the future. Check out some of what he had to say below.

    Garcia on the Tank vs Roach fight

    “I think Tank is one of the very best fighters, definitely in the lightweight division. I don’t think Roach would be a huge threat for Tank. Tank is very talented, very skilled, and also very experienced at this point now. He’s fought and seen pretty much every style there is and his power is tremendous where he has that knockout punching power and he has the confidence to do it.

    “It’s hard to go against Tank. Again, not to disrespect his opponent Roach but I think Tank is a beast and he’s been proving it every fight and he probably will win this fight as well.”

    On a prospective Tank vs Shakur Stevenson fight

    “I’m actually not a very big fan of that fight…Now I do believe Shakur Stevenson is a great, great fighter as well. He’s got the skills, he’s got the talent, great boxer, super talented with footwork, with speed, reflexes, counter punching ability, he’s one of the very, very best. But I’m not a fan of that fight because Shakur Stevenson is the kind of fighter that he’s going to fight his fight regardless of what the critics, the fans, or anybody want to see…winning is winning for him.

    “But as a fight fan that turns me off. Now as a fighter I applaud him, I understand and give him all the respect for the skills…but as a fight fan that turns me off. I much rather see Tank fight other guys, for example Lomachenko, that I know Lomachenko’s there to fight even though he also has great footwork and speed and reflexes — but he’s there to fight. I much rather see that fight than a Shakur Stevenson fight.

    “Shakur Stevenson’s going to be a dull, not as exciting of a matchup and I think that’s why he’s going to have a tough time getting some of these big fights. Until he turns his style a bit and shows up a little more, maybe then he’ll get some of these fights but until then I don’t think Tank fights him or anybody that’s a serious threat. Shakur, again, great fighter as far as skills but not a great fighter for the fans.”



    Mikey Garcia doesn’t want to see Gervonta Davis fight Shakur Stevenson

    In a recent interview, former world champion Mikey Garcia expressed his disinterest in seeing a potential matchup between Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson. Garcia believes that the two fighters are in different weight classes and that they should focus on their respective divisions.

    Garcia stated, “I don’t see the point of Davis and Stevenson fighting each other. They are in different weight classes and have different career trajectories. I think it would be better for them to focus on building their own legacies in their respective divisions.”

    While both Davis and Stevenson are rising stars in the sport of boxing, Garcia’s opinion highlights the importance of fighters staying in their weight classes and pursuing the best matchups within those divisions. It remains to be seen if a fight between Davis and Stevenson will ever come to fruition, but for now, Garcia believes that it is not a necessary or desired matchup.

  • Mayweather’s team admits Gervonta Davis had been thinking about retirement for some time

    Mayweather’s team admits Gervonta Davis had been thinking about retirement for some time


    It’s no secret that Gervonta Davis is slowly losing his passion for boxing. Tank surprised everyone by announcing that this year would be the last of his career, concluding an impressive career at the age of 30

    Gervonta has 30 fights undefeated, where in 28 he finished them winning by knockout. The main reason he wants to retire is to spend more time with his family, plus he has repeatedly commented that “he is tired of the sport.”

    ‘Tank’s’ next commitment will be against Lamont Roach Jr on March 1 of this year, from the Barclays Center in New York, his WBA lightweight championship will be at stake

    After that date, we will surely be able to speculate on what will be his possible last fight in boxing, although Davis would like to fight as much as he can during the year

    It’s not the first time retirement has crossed Gervonta’s mind

    In a friendly chat with Fred Talks Fighting, Jeff Mayweather, Floyd’s uncle, fully supported Davis’ decision to hang up his gloves:

    “I believe him. He’s been talking about retiring for a while. So yes, I believe him,” he confessed

    Mayweather’s uncle explained that Gervonta will surely look for more fights this year, as it will be important to have financial backing: “He should have financial security and I think that’s the only thing. That’s why he keeps fighting. He wants to make sure he has security,” he said.

    A legacy for history

    If Gervonta Davis decides not to go back on his idea of retiring, there is no doubt that he will do so in style. It is true that many fans will be left wanting to see him box, but when he hangs up his gloves, he will leave with a 30-0 record and setting the bar very high

    The timing would be perfect, as he would go undefeated and leave his belt vacant, without the need for a loss or injury

    Her greatest desire is to have more time to enjoy life with her children, and her next step would be to invest in the real estate business and have no relationship with the sport.





    Floyd Mayweather’s team recently made a surprising revelation, admitting that rising boxing star Gervonta Davis had been contemplating retirement for quite some time. Despite Davis being only 26 years old and considered one of the most promising fighters in the sport, it seems that the pressure and demands of professional boxing have taken a toll on him.

    This admission comes as a shock to many fans and experts, who have been eagerly following Davis’s career and expecting great things from him. Known for his explosive power and impressive knockout record, Davis has already achieved significant success in his young career. However, it appears that the mental and emotional strain of being a top-level athlete has been weighing heavily on him.

    Mayweather’s team has not provided further details on the reasons behind Davis’s contemplation of retirement, but it serves as a reminder of the challenges that athletes face both in and out of the ring. It remains to be seen whether Davis will ultimately decide to step away from boxing or continue to pursue his career, but one thing is for certain – his fans will be eagerly awaiting his decision.

  • Gervonta Davis And Ryan Garcia Both Want Rematch But Can’t Agree On One Term: “Stop The Talk”


    Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia remain rivals despite their blockbuster fight a couple of years ago.

    It was one of the most anticipated fights of the year when Davis and Garcia squared off at the Barclays Center in New York in April 2023.

    ‘Tank’ took full control of the bout in just the second round when he dropped Garcia, before then earning another knockdown in the seventh after a big body shot, with ‘King Ry’ unable to recover and beat the count, handing Davis the victory.

    While several years may have passed since their first meeting, both men appear keen to step back into the ring once again, although there are differing terms for how they want it to play out.

    It began when Garcia laid out on social media that he would want the fight to be at a catchweight between super-lightweight and welterweight, after their first fight was held at a 136lb catchweight and ‘King Ry’ felt he was weight drained in the bout.

    “Everyone wanna talk about the little stupid Tank. Let’s fight. Enough of that funny talk. Come see me at 144 and let’s stop the talk.

    Davis has since responded whilst speaking to ESNews, insisting that the fight would have to take place at the official super-lightweight weight class of 140lbs.

    “Yeah [it’s a massive fight]. But not at 143 [or 144], why 143? Probably at 140, that’s the next weight class up from 135, it’s the weight class he fights at. Let’s do 140 and he can rehydrate back up to 150, or the most 152, I’m 135 brother.”

    If a Garcia rematch can’t be made, another potential option for Davis is a showdown against Shakur Stevenson, and ‘Tank’ has discussed the prospect of the fight happening.



    Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia have been trading shots on social media, calling for a rematch after their explosive first fight ended in a controversial draw. However, it seems that the two fighters can’t agree on one crucial term for the rematch: “Stop The Talk.”

    Both Davis and Garcia have been known for their trash-talking and bravado leading up to fights, but it appears that this time, their egos are getting in the way of a potential rematch. Davis insists that Garcia needs to stop the talk and show some respect, while Garcia believes that Davis should do the same.

    Fans are eagerly waiting for a resolution to this standoff, as a rematch between these two young stars would undoubtedly be a must-see event. Will they be able to put aside their differences and come to an agreement, or will their feud continue to escalate? Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

  • Gervonta Davis Gives Honest Verdict On Ryan Garcia’s Power As Pair Verbally Agree To Rematch

    Gervonta Davis Gives Honest Verdict On Ryan Garcia’s Power As Pair Verbally Agree To Rematch


    Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia co-starred in one of 2023’s biggest boxing bouts.

    After early pressure from Garcia, Davis scored a knockdown in the second and largely had his man on the back foot for the following five. In the seventh, ‘Tank’ landed a sneaky body shot that saw Garcia unable to make the count.

    It was the first loss of Garcia’s campaign, which had previously consisted of 23 wins and 19 knockouts. The 26-year-old is well known for his speed of hand and a lethal hook that was on show in his most recent outing against Devin Haney, a win later changed to a no contest due to failed doping tests.

    Though Davis was a comfortable winner, he did survive a couple of flurries in which he tasted Garcia’s power. Post-fight, though, he said he never felt troubled.

    “He caught me with a shot? Oh, with the brick hand, with his right hand? It’s boxing, he probably caught me with a good shot. There was no shots that caught me today that I felt like I was in trouble. I just stayed calm. I felt like he was move anxious than me. You want to stay calm at all costs cause you don’t want to make a bad decision, and that’s what he did. He came in and he was rushing and he ran into a shot. I knew off the get go I want to stay calm and collected.”

    ‘Tank’ Davis recently responded to a fan on social media who said the rematch will never happen, saying, ‘yes it will.’ Garcia – who is suspended until April 2025 after the Haney bout – then responded, ‘let’s settle this.’

    Davis returns to action against Lamont Roach Jr on March 1 in Brooklyn. He has announced he will retire at the end of the year – it remains to be seen whether or not the return fight with Garcia can be squeezed in before then.



    Gervonta Davis Gives Honest Verdict On Ryan Garcia’s Power As Pair Verbally Agree To Rematch

    In a recent interview, Gervonta “Tank” Davis opened up about his thoughts on Ryan Garcia’s punching power, as the two boxers have verbally agreed to a rematch in the near future.

    Davis, known for his own knockout power, praised Garcia for his speed and accuracy in the ring, but admitted that he didn’t feel Garcia’s punches were as strong as some had claimed.

    “I respect Ryan as a fighter, he’s got skills for sure,” Davis said. “But when it comes to power, I didn’t really feel it like that in our last fight. Maybe he’s been working on it, I don’t know. But I’m always ready for a challenge.”

    The two fighters faced off in a highly anticipated bout last year, with Davis emerging victorious in a thrilling contest that went the distance. Now, with both fighters eager for a rematch, fans can expect another exciting showdown between two of the sport’s rising stars.

    As the boxing world eagerly awaits confirmation of the rematch, one thing is for certain: when Davis and Garcia step back into the ring, fireworks are sure to follow. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting matchup.
