Gervonta Davis quickly shut down talk of a super fight with Naoya Inoue. The WBA lightweight champion made it clear he's not interested in facing the Japanese multi-weight world champion.
Davis, known as 'Tank', holds the WBA title in the 135lb division. He's got big wins over Ryan Garcia and Leo Santa Cruz under his belt. His next fight is set for March when he'll defend his title against Lamont Roach.
Inoue just added another knockout to his record. He stopped Ye Joon Kim in the fourth round on Friday, showing why he's considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. He's now the undisputed champion in both the bantamweight and super-bantamweight divisions, holding all four major titles.
After Inoue's win, fans started talking about a possible fight with Davis. But Davis wasn't having it. He took to social media to express his frustration.
"What the f**k," Davis wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "I'm the only fighter you all want to see in the ring with everybody. Doesn't matter the weight."
It's not the first time Davis has been linked with other top fighters. But with Davis planning to retire at the end of 2025, there's not much time left for these big matchups.
The fight with Inoue is unlikely to happen. There's a big weight difference between the two fighters. Davis fights at lightweight, while Inoue has just become undisputed at super-bantamweight.
Davis has other potential opponents in his sights. Fighters like Shakur Stevenson and Vasily Lomachenko are more realistic options. Davis has said he's got a list of fighters he wants to face before he hangs up his gloves.
For now, Davis is focused on his upcoming title defense in March. Inoue is expected to fight again in the spring. Both fighters will continue to make waves in their respective weight classes, even if they never meet in the ring.
