Could one of boxing’s most feared names be making a trip to the UK?

Gervonta Davis has the boxing world at his feet.

His knockout win over Ryan Garcia last year cemented the Baltimore native as one of the sport’s biggest stars and is now receiving call-outs from numerous fighters.

One of those is British welterweight Conor Benn who last fought this past weekend when he beat Peter Dobson in Las Vegas.

Following the fight, Benn took to social media site Xto express his interest in facing the hard-hitting Davis.

“Offer on its way Gervumpa Lumpa. @Gervontaa Let’s go,” Benn wrote on X.

This prompted a response from Davis who teased that a deal could be in the works for a fight between two.

“Relax, let me and your boss work. We got it,” Davis replied.

If a fight between Davis and Benn is made, it will be just the second time Davis has faced British opposition after stopping Liam Walsh at London’s Copper Box Arena in 2017.
