Meanwhile, ‘Takeover’ has already chalked up his post-fight plan and has named the most preferable opponent in the 135 lbs slot. He connected with the AK & Barak Show and talked about his ongoing plans.

Will Gervonta Davis and Teofimo Lopez fight this year?

Lopez already has a title defense against Ferocious’ in the summer. However, the WBA champion, Gervonta Davis, doesn’t have an opponent in sight. After verbal banter with Ryan Garcia, most of the fans envisioned ‘Tank’ to collide with ‘KingRy’. However, that has fallen through and ‘Tank’ is on the lookout for his next fight.

There’s no way Lopez and Davis will fight each-other right at this point. But considering their undefeated championship runs at 135 lbs, we can surely see them lock horns somewhere down the line. Not only will it be an interesting fight, but it would be a contest that would allure the entire world.
