Shakur Stevenson keeps pushing for a fight with Gervonta Davis. He says he's ready to show he's the better boxer. Stevenson thinks it could be the biggest boxing match in years, but Davis isn't saying much.

Davis will fight Lamont Roach Jr. this summer. It's a rematch of their first controversial bout. Davis has made it clear he doesn't want to fight Stevenson. He thinks Stevenson hasn't earned it yet.

James Prince, Stevenson's manager, disagrees. He told reporters:

"Any time you've represented the USA and you've won a silver medal with everybody watching you, you know what I mean? That in itself carries the weight of supremacy, so no, we're not trying to hear that."

Prince even said he'd be happy to work with Davis. He explained:

"I could befriend him and take it to the next level, like advising him and helping him. I like the brother because he's from the neighborhood, and I know that when we're all from the neighborhood, we can connect a little better."

Stevenson might fight William Zepeda this summer, but there's no date set yet.

Prince thinks a Stevenson-Davis fight makes sense. He compares it to the Mayweather-Corrales bout, calling it "a fight everyone wants to see."

Both boxers have big fights coming up. Fans will have to wait and see if they ever face each other in the ring.
