Bob Arum has some strong words about Gervonta Davis and his future.
‘Tank’ has been out of the ring since a knockout win over Ryan Garcia in April. That victory over ‘KingRy’ was the biggest victory of his career, but law issues briefly caused him to take some time off. Now, back in training, he’s eyeing a big name for his return.
As of now, Davis is expected to return in March on Amazon Prime pay-per-view. While he’s been going back and forth with Devin Haney, he’s also been tied to bouts with Shakur Stevenson and Isaac Cruz. ‘Pitbull’ famously suffered a decision loss to Davis back in December 2021.
However, a potential bout with ‘Super’ would be a brand-new matchup. For his part, Stevenson has been out of the ring since a unanimous decision win over Edwin De Los Santos in November. That victory handed him the WBC lightweight title.
