Gervonta 'Tank' Davis brushed off Keyshawn Davis' challenge, calling it "super easy work." The WBA lightweight champ from Baltimore didn't mince words when asked about potential opponents, including the newly crowned WBO titleholder.
Davis, 30, gears up to defend his WBA lightweight belt against Lamont Roach Jr on March 1 at the Barclays Center in New York City. He's also hinted at hanging up his gloves by the end of 2025, adding weight to each of his upcoming bouts.
On the other side of the ring, Keyshawn 'The Businessman' Davis, 25, just clinched the WBO lightweight world title. The Norfolk, Virginia native outboxed Ukrainian Denys Berinchyk on February 14, marking his 14th professional fight with a world title win.
Fresh off his victory, Keyshawn wasted no time in calling out 'Tank' Davis. The challenge didn't seem to faze the Baltimore boxer, who dismissed it as an easy day at the office.
The lightweight division buzzes with potential matchups. A unification bout between the two Davis fighters looms as a possibility. However, 'Tank' has long been linked to a showdown with WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson.
Stevenson recently defended his title on February 22, stopping last-minute replacement Josh Padley after Floyd Schofield withdrew due to illness.
As the lightweight titans circle each other, fight fans eagerly await the next big announcement. Will we see Davis vs Davis in a unification clash? Or will another matchup steal the spotlight? The 135-pound division promises fireworks in the coming months.
