In a recent development in the boxing world, Shakur Stevenson has chosen a path of restraint amid his ongoing conflict with Gervonta “Tank” Davis, following Davis’ highly debated draw against Lamont Roach.
Stevenson, who currently holds the WBC lightweight championship, has expressed continued interest in a unification bout with Davis, the WBA belt holder.
Instead of capitalizing on Davis’ controversial fight outcome, Stevenson took to social media to express his willingness to meet in the ring. “I’m not going to criticize him like he might with me,” Stevenson shared. “But I’m ready and eager to fight, so let’s arrange it.”
What Stevenson did comment on, with a sly sense of satisfaction, was his $5,000 wager on the fight’s result, which he felt unfolded just as he anticipated.
A potential face-off between Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) and Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) remains a captivating prospect in the boxing circuit—though the clash might not be the most enthralling to watch. However, a rematch between Davis and Roach (25-1-2, 10 KO) seems more commercially enticing right now, with both fighters keen to have another go as soon as possible.
