Rival Turned Advocate Urges Gervonta Davis to Face Off Against Vasiliy Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson
British fighter Liam Walsh is urging Gervonta “Tank” Davis to step into the ring with boxing giants Vasiliy Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson before hanging up his gloves. Davis recently revealed his plan to retire after 2025, sparking a wave of speculation and excitement in the boxing world.
Reflecting on Davis' retirement announcement, Walsh, who faced Davis in a bout back in 2017, expressed his desire to see the talented fighter take on the top contenders in the 135-pound division before bidding farewell to the sport. "I'd like to see Tank fight Lomachenko. Teofimo is probably too big now, but I want some of the big fights," Walsh remarked.
While a showdown between Davis and Lomachenko was close to becoming a reality last November, it fell through due to Lomachenko's personal commitments. Walsh, however, remains optimistic about the potential matchup and hopes to witness the two elite fighters go head-to-head in the near future.
Expressing his enthusiasm for potential matchups, Walsh shared his thoughts on a potential showdown between Davis and Stevenson, acknowledging Stevenson's prowess in the ring. “I think Shakur could beat anybody. I think Shakur is good. I like him a lot. I think he’s brilliant,” Walsh praised.
With fervor building around the boxing community regarding Davis' future opponents, the anticipation for high-stakes bouts continues to grow. As Walsh and other boxing enthusiasts eagerly await the outcome of Davis' next moves, the sport remains ripe with excitement and possibilities.
