Stevenson was ringside last Saturday in Las Vegas watching Haney win a unanimous decision against three-division champion Vassily Lomachenko. At the same time, Stevenson believes that the biggest fight in his weight is the duel with Gervonta "Tank" Davis.
"I think both fights [Davis and Haney] are great fights for me," Stevenson told TMZ. “I think that me and Tank is a big battle, but me and Devin is a battle in which I can show who I am as a fighter.”
After Haney defended his titles in a fight with Lomachenko, Stevenson entered the ring and exchanged a few short remarks with the undisputed champion. Stevenson (20-0, 10 KOs) stated that he would like to face Haney in the next fight, but there are no guarantees yet that Haney will remain in the lightweight category, as he can move up to the next weight class.
“If [Devin] can’t make weight anymore, then he can just move up in weight, but if I were him, I would have a rematch with [Loma] to show the world that this dude is no match for me. This is how I would do it,” Stevenson said.
“These are definitely great fights. If [Devin] stays at lightweight, I think we should fight next. This is a big fight and the world will see who I really am, how special I am. I feel like Lomachenko just showed the world that he's still in the ranks. He is still capable of much. Now that we know this, I think it's only right to be put with him and let's see how good I am. I think I'm ready."
