De La Hoya: This is the perfect time for Davis to dethrone Lomachenko

Lomachenko vs. Davis fight planned for November 2024

Legendary former world champion and current promoter of Golden Boy Promotions Oscar De La Hoya considers the American holder of the WBA belt Gervonta “Tank” Davis favorite in a fight with the IBF and IBO lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko.

“I think it’s going to be a good fight. But I think ‘Tank’ is young and Loma is getting older. I don’t see it as disrespect, it’s just the way it is, old age catches up with you. I think this is the perfect time for Davis to knock Lomachenko off his throne. But it’s going to be a hell of a fight.”

The fight between Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) and Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) is planned for November 2024 in Las Vegas, USA. The parties are continuing negotiations regarding the location of the event. It is reported that the MGM Grand or T-Mobile Arena may host the boxing evening.

On the night of June 16, Gervonta defended his championship title by knocking out his compatriot Frank Martin. The 29-year-old boxer remains undefeated, with 28 of his 30 victories coming 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 the IBO belt, which was held by Kambosos.
