The fight is expected to take place in November or December
Promoter Bob Arum said that the IBF and IBO lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko ready to meet the WBA belt holder Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
“Davis is a very good, strong guy, a good puncher. He didn’t fight a can of tomatoes in his last fight.”
“We are ready for this fight. Lomachenko is ready for him. When we sit down at the negotiating table we will see if it is feasible, but Lomachenko would like to make this fight.”
“Davis is in a great position and doing well at the box office. The Tank fight will make more money than the Shakur Stevenson fight.”
Earlier, Arum said that representatives of the American and Ukrainian have been negotiating for several weeks about a head-to-head confrontation between the two champions. According to preliminary information, the Lomachenko-Davis fight could take place in November 2024.
On the night of June 16, Gervonta defended his championship title, knocking out compatriot Frank Martin. The 29-year-old boxer remains undefeated, and he won 28 of his thirty victories ahead of schedule.
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 away the IBO belt, which Kambosos owned.
