"Two Ferraris for Tank: Turki's Offer to Make Davis vs. Stevenson"

Dec 4, 2024 at 6:46 AM
Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson is a highly anticipated fight that has been the talk of the boxing world. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has expressed his desire to make this fight happen in 2025. Turki's remarks about Tank's past social media comments and his request for two Ferraris have added an interesting twist to the situation.

Turki's Offer and the Fight Sequence

Turki stated on Tuesday that he wants Shakur to fight Floyd Schofield on February 22nd, followed by William Zepeda, and then Tank Davis in that order. "My plan for Shakur is this fight, then William Zepeda, and then let's see if Tank wants to be in our show," said Turki to Ariel Helwani's site on YouTube. This proposed fight sequence raises questions about the future of these fighters and the potential for an exciting showdown.

Why Tank Davis Has His List

If Gervonta has decided that he only wants to fight Ryan Garcia, Vasily Lomachenko, and Devin Haney before retiring at the end of 2025, there's not much Turki can do but accept his decision. Tank has his own price in mind, and if Alalshikh meets it, he'll agree to fight Shakur as long as the money isn't too crazy. This shows the complex dynamics between the fighters and their promoters.

Ryan Garcia is a rising star in the boxing world, known for his explosive power and aggressive style. Vasily Lomachenko is a highly skilled and versatile fighter with a wide range of techniques. Devin Haney is a young and talented boxer with a bright future. Tank's choice of opponents reflects his desire to leave a lasting mark on the sport.

On the other hand, Shakur Stevenson has his own fan base, but it's not as large as some of the other fighters on Tank's list. His defensive style, which is reminiscent of the old Mayweather style, has both its supporters and critics. Some fans enjoy watching the hit-and-not-get-hit approach, while others find it boring and outdated.

The Changing Landscape of Boxing

In today's boxing world, there are many distractions for fans. With the rise of the UFC, other sports, social media, and cable television, fighters need to find a way to stand out and engage with fans. The fencing style that Mayweather was famous for is no longer as popular as it once was. Fans now want to see more action and excitement on the canvas.

Shakur's recent fights have been booed by some fans, which shows the challenges he faces in gaining a wider following. To be successful in this era, fighters need to adapt to the changing landscape and find a way to connect with fans on a deeper level.

Turki has the money to overpay Shakur and whoever he wants him to fight, but that doesn't guarantee that he will become a star. Building a fan base takes time and effort, and it requires more than just financial resources. Shakur will need to find a way to showcase his skills and personality to win over the hearts of fans.
