'The Only Person that Could Beat Me Is Gervonta Davis' - Gervonta Davis Believes Others Cannot Touch Him At All
Gervonta Davis is currently a highly sought-after name in the world of boxing, and he's been receiving plenty of challenges from his rivals. His recent victory over Ryan Garcia in April generated considerable attention, reportedly amassing over 1 million pay-per-view buys. However, Davis has also made headlines for non-boxing reasons, finding himself in legal trouble and serving time in jail due to a house arrest violation. This isn't the first time he's had run-ins with the law, and he acknowledges that his own actions could potentially jeopardize his superstar status. When asked about the boxing prospects Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson possibly having an edge over him, Davis firmly believes that the only person who can beat him is himself. He confidently states,
“You got the last one right – that’s the only person that could beat me, Gervonta Davis. That’s the only person. Those others cannot touch me at all. They’ve all been in the ring with me and I’ve cracked them both. Devin Haney is no 50/50 fight, how you going to keep me off him when he’s got no power. I sparred him twice – the first time his father took him out the ring, I almost knocked him out in Floyd’s gym, did they tell you that?”Regarding a potential fight with Haney, it might have to wait, as Haney is moving up to the 140lbs division, where he's expected to face Regis Prograis for the WBC title. Stevenson has been struggling to find an opponent but is now likely to square off against Edwin De Los Santos for the vacant WBC lightweight title. As for Davis, he has plans to return to the ring before the end of the year, with a rematch against Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz currently in the lead as the next bout on his radar.
