WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis vs. WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson is a fight everyone in the combat sports world desperately wants. However, the burning question on everyone’s mind is, will such a matchup ever transpire? Former Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe has shared his thoughts on the question.
Stevenson is about to get back in the ring against Joe Cordina on October 12th at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, having signed with Matchroom Boxing recently. Meanwhile, Davis was supposed to fight Vasyl Lomachenko in a unification bout later this year, but the latter pulled out of the conversation to spend more time with his family. Regardless, speaking to Ellerbe, a reporter from Fight Hype couldn’t help but raise the Davis vs. Stevenson issue.
