Ex-world champion in three weight categories Vasily Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs) stated that he had not previously entered the ring with the current WBA Regular title holder in the lightweight division Gervonta Davis (26-0, 24 KOs) due to his promoter Floyd Mayweather.
“I would love to see Davis against Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson or me. We'll see, but you know, I remember five or six years ago we talked about Davis, about this fight. However, Mayweather said, “Hey, forget it. We have a different weight.
But what is this other weight category for? For business? Okay, you are a businessman. However, if you want to be a top fighter, you have to fight the best. Davis is a very good boxer, but he needs to get better,” Lomachenko said in an interview with the ESNEWS YouTube channel
