It will be a historic night on October 31 when Leo Santa Cruz goes against the undefeated Gervonta Davis in a showdown that will feature fans in attendance for the first time since the outbreak of COVID-19.

Apart from the WBA world title at stake, the lightweight thriller is important for several other reasons. Davis vs Santa Cruz will determine two of the best boxers in their division, and none of them want to depart from their titles.

While Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis is the favorite, Leo Santa Cruz vows to dethrone him from the top spot. Claiming himself to be in perfect shape, Leo Santa Cruz said that he wants to be the pound-for-pound best by taking out Gervonta Davis.

Leo Santa Cruz is confident about beating Gervonta Davis

While interacting with Bad Left Hook, Santa Cruz outlined his plan for the fight. While he is confident about winning the fight, he still doesn’t want to belittle his opponent’s caliber.

Talking about it, Santa Cruz said, “This is a hard fight. It’s the toughest fight of my career. We’re facing a tough fighter with great skills. I know he’s going to come with everything he has and be at his best.”

However, that won’t affect his game plan Leo is ready to put all his pressure and emerge out victorious. He added, “I’m determined to go beat ‘Tank’ so I can say that I beat one of the best fighters in the world. I want to give the fans a great fight. This is a big opportunity for me to become a superstar. It’s an opportunity for ‘Tank’ too, so I know we’re both going to go out there and give it our all for the fans.”

As per Leo, if he finds out that Davis is running out of energy in the fight, he would exploit the opportunity. However, he also needs to save himself from The Tank’s aggression.

“Davis is a strong fighter, especially in the first five rounds. He’s always dangerous, but if I see him gassing out, I’m going to pressure him and break him down. I think that I can frustrate him,” said Santa Cruz.
