Shakur Stevenson believes a unification fight between him and Gervonta “Tank” Davis is inevitable, declaring that they are the best fighters in the lightweight division. The WBC 135-lb champion, Stevenson, is eager to prove himself against Davis, but the matchup isn’t happening next due to plans for Stevenson to face William Zepeda instead.
Despite the potential difficulties in his upcoming bout, Stevenson remains confident that a showdown with Tank Davis will happen in the near future. He emphasizes that both fighters are at the peak of their careers, making a clash between them almost unavoidable. According to Stevenson, the only scenario in which they don’t meet in the ring is if one of them suffers an unexpected loss beforehand.
Stevenson also praised Davis for his strategic approach in the ring. He highlighted Davis’s ability to set traps and capitalize on his opponents' mistakes, as seen in Davis’s recent victory over Frank Martin. Stevenson respects Davis's experience and skills, acknowledging that their fight would be a true test for both fighters.
Ultimately, Stevenson is ready for the fight to happen whenever Davis is willing to step up. He believes that a clash between them is destined to take place, whether it’s next or sometime in the near future.
