In the wake of Teofimo Lopez resuming his boxing training, Lopez’s manager and Gervonta Davis‘ trainer entertained the idea of a potential Lopez vs. Davis. While Calvin Ford who trains ‘Tank’ Davis found the idea “wonderful,” David McWater who manages ‘The Takeover’ Lopez declared that his client would certainly be interested in such a big fight. Likewise, McWater publicly stated that Lopez would square off against Davis one day.

As per current circumstances, neither Davis nor Lopez has a scheduled opponent. At this, it is likely that the bout will take place in no time. In this context, as fans hope for a clash between Lopez and Davis, the former recently met the ‘Einstein of Wall Street.’

In his last fight, Lopez competed for the WBO super lightweight title against Josh Taylor. Following a UD victory against Taylor, in a shocking statement, the 26-year-old declared that he was retiring from the sport of boxing. Claiming he was “tired of bullying,” ‘The Takeover’ said he needed a break. As a result, stating he had “shined bright,” the 26-year-old hung his gloves. However, now that he is back, ahead of a comeback fight, Lopez found himself with the ‘Einstein of Wall Street.’

Taking to Instagram, in one of his stories, Lopez shared his brief interaction with Peter Tuchman aka the ‘Einstein of Wall Street.’ Having met the former unified lightweight champion, Tuchman was genuinely happy. And ahead of his rumored bout with Davis, Tuchman said, “The champ. Teofimo Lopez, let’s go. It’s ‘The Takeover’.

In this connection, following the statements by McWater and Ford, as fans hope for the fight with ‘Tank,’ it is worth mentioning that Lopez had earlier slammed Davis.

In the wake of his victory against Taylor, Lopez said he was fighting everyone from the boxers to the judges who scored his fight. In this context, on being asked about a fight with Davis at a catchweight, ‘The Takeover’ feared that the fight would never come to fruition. Hence, he slammed Gervonta publicly. Out loud, he said, “Gervonta, you are a p***y. You are a b***ch“.

With that said, do you think the bout will happen? If it does, who will you root for, Lopez or Davis? In addition, what is your reaction to ‘The Takeover’ with Tuchman

In the wake of Gervonta Davis getting released from jail, Sean Gibbons, the head of MP Promotions declared the chance of a rematch between ‘Tank’ and Isaac Cruz. As per him, since the fans in Mexico and the US showed a massive interest in Cruz vs. Davis II, it was ideal that the fight took place. In this context, Gibbons even trumpeted that PBC will deliver Cruz vs. ‘Tank’ II in the shape of a huge post-Christmas gift.

We finished at 135.” Along these lines, he announced that he liked the fight – Lopez vs. Davis.

Following the statement by Ford, McWater announced that since Lopez only wants the biggest fights, it is likely that ‘The Takeover’ will fight ‘Tank’ one day. “Yeah, it will happen someday because Teofimo only wants the biggest and it seems so does ‘Tank,‘” McWater said. However, in this context, it is worth mentioning that Lopez, who reportedly trained for ‘Tank,’ felt Davis would never fight him.

Lopez called Davis “scared”

Fans are being treated to one such clash in December, when WBC 140lbs champion Regis Prograis will defend his strap against former undisputed 135lbs champion Devin Haney.

However, in a recent interview with ESNews, Prograis broke down a different stateside affair – a potential showdown between Gervonta Davis and Teofimo Lopez – and explained why he would favour Davis to get the better of ‘The Takeover’ if the fight ever happened.

Following his stoppage win over Ryan Garcia back in April, Davis’ star power is bigger than his ever been, and the though of all American derbies against the likes of Haney and Stevenson has fans salivating.

His momentum was slowed somewhat by a brief jail stint over the summer, however he is now back in the gym and said to be angling for a return to the ring in early 2024.

The rumoured frontrunners to land the money spinning fight are PBC stablemates Frank Martin and Isaac Cruz, with the latter being one of only two men to take Davis the distance.

Lopez is riding the crest of a wave at the moment after becoming a two weight world champion earlier this year, and a marquee match up between him and former Davis opponent Garcia has been tipped to land in the first half of 2024
