Gervonta Davis is ready for Vasiliy Lomachenko.

In a now-deleted post on X, the undefeated lightweight said Lomachenko is next on his list of opponents after he fights Frank Martin next month.

Lomachenko earned an 11th-round TKO victory over George Kambosos Jr. on Saturday to win the IBO and IBF lightweight championships. It was Lomanchenko’s first fight since losing to Devin Haney last May.

“You know, during my boxing career I’ve never run around and I’ve always taken fights. After I rest a little bit, we can talk about the future,” Lomachenko said when informed of Davis’ social media call out.

Lomachenko, who won two Olympic gold medals before turning pro in 2013, has an 18-3 record and has won championships in three divisions. Davis has won titles at the super featherweight, lightweight and super lightweight divisions during his 29-0 start to his career. Despite debuting as a professional in the same year, Davis is seven years younger than Lomachenko.

Davis will have to get past an undefeated Martin to make it to Lomachenko, but if he does, it would be one of the most anticipated lightweight fights in recent years.
