Promotor Eddie Hearn is convinced that he can negotiate a united fight between the champion in the lightweight category of WBA Gervont Davis and the WBC champion Shakur Stevenson.
Hearn says that as long as “Everyone is reasonable,“He believes he can put together a fight. He thinks that Tank Davis (30-0, 28 ko) has no way to make” big money “.
Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn may have forgotten that Ryan Garcia was the option that Tank Davis took in a rematch. That fight would bring a lot more money than Shakur for a native of Baltimore. Shakur, 27, is not popular with occasional boxing fans or an attraction of PPV. He has a fans base, but nowhere near Ryan. Even Devin Haney is more popular than Shakur.
Cash fight
“If everyone is reasonable. What are other fights out for tank?” Said Eddie Hearn Boxing news When asked if he thinks he can deliver the fight to Gervont Davis Shakur Stevenson the following. “He is [Tank] Next got a decent fight but he is [Lamont Roach].
“Tank will want to be in big fighting. He’ll want to make big money, and I think the biggest fight is there for him Shakur Stevenson and vice versa,” Hearn said.
You hate to say that, but Hearn was wrong in signing Shakur. He signed Shakur on a contract with two fights in 2024. His first agreement struggle was to be against Joe Cordin on October 12 last year. Shakur suffered a training for injuries for that fight and had to get away.
This Saturday will be Stevenson’s first fight with Matchroom. He was supposed to fight Floyd Schofield, but he pulled out with the disease. It wouldn’t be a big fight, but it was still tolerable.
Now, however, Shakur will fight the replacement opponent. These are two options: Josh Padley and Moussa Gholam. Hearn will not get his money in the first fight of Shakura with Matchroom, and may have the same problem if he cannot deliver the Davis Tank.
