Gervonta Davis found himself in a heated situation today when reminded of his past remarks about potentially fighting Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney before his retirement. With a record of 30-0 and 28 knockouts, Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) firmly denied having made such statements, and his reaction seemed to suggest that he was on the verge of losing his temper.

Unraveling the Gervonta Davis Dilemma

The 'Face of Boxing' and His Retirement Plans

Davis' announcement this week that he will retire at the end of 2025 after three more fights has put the media on high alert. They are constantly pressing him for details about when he will face Shakur and Haney. However, Davis quickly shut down these questions, and his reaction when asked about them was quite intense. His eyes bugged out, and it was clear that he was not in the mood to discuss the matter. It seems that he has no intention of fighting either of these opponents in the future. Davis claims to have three fights left, but it is unlikely that either Shakur or Haney will get the opportunity next year.

When a media member asked him directly if he still planned to fight Devin and Shakur before retiring, Davis responded, "I never said that. When did I say that? But I would for sure." This response only added to the confusion and speculation surrounding his retirement plans.

Given Davis' strong reaction, it is advisable for future reporters to avoid this topic. It is like a sensitive issue for him, and he shows no interest in engaging with it.

The Potential Final Three Opponents

Ryan Garcia is seen as the biggest money fight for Tank. Additionally, Vasily Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez are also in the mix.

Stevenson was understandably upset when he saw Davis' reaction today. He had been hoping to secure a fight with Davis in 2025 and had likely built up expectations. However, it now seems unlikely that this will happen.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has already scratched Tank's name off the list of potential opponents for Shakur next year. He has stated that he wants William Zepeda for Stevenson after his fight with Floyd Schofield on February 22nd. This decision further dampens the hopes of Shakur getting a fight with Davis.

For Shakur, his chances of facing Tank are not looking good. He is known for being a runner and has failed to take on the opponents necessary to enhance his reputation. In 2025, Shakur can consider fighting Floyd Schofield, William Zepeda, and Edwin De Los Santos.

Shakur Stevenson's Reaction

Shakur Stevenson took to X to express his emotions when his name was brought up at the press conference. He said, "Every time my name comes up, boy get hella emotional. If you're that bothered, settle it in the ring, gangster." He also called on Gervonta Davis to fight him.

Despite Davis' denial, the situation remains tense. Fans and experts alike are eager to see how this will play out in the coming months.

Gervonta Davis' stance on not wanting to fight Shakur Stevenson or Devin Haney before retiring has created a lot of buzz in the boxing world. It remains to be seen if he will stick to his decision or if there will be a change in plans.
