Gervonta Davis proclaimed himself to be the “face of boxing.” And it seems like there is one more step he has to take to become just that. The lightweight division has been a hot topic of discussion in the sport for a long time. After Davis prevailed in his last fight against Ryan Garcia, the Baltimore hard-hitter will be eying to take on new challenges in his career. One such challenge for him is the reigning undisputed lightweight champion, Devin Haney. Even though there have been no talks or confirmation about a matchup between these two, it is a fight that the fans want to see happen in the near future.

Recently, the reigning WBA continental welterweight champion, Conor Benn, responded to a fan who wanted to know about his pick for this potential matchup between these two lightweight sensations.

Conor Benn took to his Instagram and responded to a fan who wanted to know the champ’s verdict on the potential matchup between Davis and Haney. The fan asked, “Who do you think would win out of a fight between Haney and Gervonta Davis?”

To this, Benn responded by simply writing “Haney.”  It seems like the Brit has made his choice about  this potential matchup. And, his response might come as shocking to the Davis fans. However, it is safe to say that anything can happen in a fight between these two lightweights.

When will Conor Benn fight next?

Conor Benn is in a professional conundrum of his own, despite being given the clearance from WBC for his failed drug test fiasco. It seems like he hasn’t received all the green flags he needs. Benn isn’t allowed to fight in the UK by the UKAD, United Kingdom Anti-Doping Agency until he is able to prove his innocence to the governing body.
