Shakur Prefers Davis Over Lomachenko
WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson commented on the possible upcoming fight between the WBA belt holder Gervonta “Tank” Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) and the IBF and IBO lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KO)and also decided on his favorite.
“Davis or Lomachenko? I like ‘Tank.’ I think he’s younger, fresher and stronger. I think Lomachenko will give him some problems, but I prefer Davis.”
Stevenson defeated Arutyunyan in his last fight. The fight lasted all 12 rounds, and Shakur eventually won by decision.
Earlier, promoter Bob Arum said that representatives of Lomachenko and Gervonta Davis have been negotiating for several weeks about a face-to-face confrontation between the two champions. According to preliminary information, the Lomachenko-Davis fight could take place in November 2024.
On May 12, Lomachenko defeated Australian George Kambosos by technical knockout in his last fight. The Ukrainian won the vacant IBF lightweight belt, which was previously vacated by his previous opponent Devin Haney. Vasily also took the IBO belt, which was held by Kambosos.
