WBA regular lightweight champion Gervonta Davis is currently a top contender in his division and is considered by many as one of the best boxers in the world. The 28-year-old has an undefeated record of 27-0 with 25 KOs under his belt. However, there is one man that might give ‘Tank’ a run for his money.

Former world champion Adrien Broner thinks that Davis has the potential to become the best boxer in the world. Despite this, he would have a hard time in the ring with WBO super-featherweight champion Shakur Stevenson.

Adrien Broner claims Shakur Stevenson will give Gervonta Davis his most difficult challenge

In an interview with FightHype TV, Broner claimed that Stevenson was the hardest matchup for Davis. However, he added that ‘Tank’ had a very high fight IQ and could figure out his opponents as the fight progressed and stated that this would be his chance for a victory if a fight with Stevenson took place.

“In my opinion, Shakur will be the most difficult fight for Tank, but Tank got what it takes to figure out any fighter. He got what it takes to adjust to any fighter and in the end, that’s what he got to do to get the victory. Plus, like I said, he got that show stopper too, so Shakur Stevenson will give him the most difficult time.” said Broner.

Davis and Broner have been training partners before, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he is confident in Davis’ abilities. However, even he thinks that Stevenson could pose a threat to ‘Tank’ and has the best chance of beating him.

Davis wants to face Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson next year

Davis is set to defend his title on January 7 against Hector Luis Garcia. However, ‘Tank’ has seemingly planned his fights far ahead into the future. In a recent conversation hosted by @LazyLeftyOG, he was asked about who he would like to face in 2023, to which he replied. “I got two opponents in mind,”  he said. When asked about who these opponents were, he stated. “you know who.”

Following this, he was asked to confirm if the opponents were Haney and Stevenson, he said. “got it”. If Davis can manage to beat Luis Garcia, these fights will certainly be box office events. Moreover, this might finally be a step where fighters actually face other worthy champions and contenders and a much-necessary change in the sport.
