Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson is a fight His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has said he wants to try to make in 2025. Turki noted Tank’s previous comments on social media, asking two Ferraris before considering joining one of his events.
Turki noted that he pays some fighters far more than the cost of two Ferraris, but if that’s what it takes to get him to agree to the fight, he’ll do it for him.
Tank Davis sounded negative during Tuesday’s press conference, saying Shakur hasn’t done “Nothing in the sport” and doesn’t want to fight him or Keyshawn Davis. The three fighters Tank wants to fight in 2025 are these lucky ones:
– Ryan Garcia
– Vasily Lomachenko
– Devin Haney
If Gervonta has decided he only wants to fight these three before he retires at the end of 2025, there’s not much Turki can do about it but accept his decision. But Tank has a price on his head that if Alalshikh pays, he will agree to fight Shakur as long as he doesn’t ask for crazy money.
Turkey offer
Turki said Tuesday that he wants Shakur to fight Floyd Schofield on Feb. 22, William Zepeda and then Tank Davis in that order.
“My plan for Shakur is this fight, then William Zepeda and then let’s see if Tank wants to be on our show,” Turki told Ariel Helwani. location on YouTube.
If Tank Davis wrestles Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia in 2025, he wouldn’t need Shakur because those two matches would likely be longer. Stevenson is not popular with casual boxing fans. He has a die-hard fan base, but he’s not huge.
Outdated style
These fans love to watch his defensive style, which is rare in this era. They enjoy watching the old, outdated Mayweather style of “hit and don’t hit” approach. That style of fighting doesn’t work in this day and age with competition from the UFC, other sports, social media and cable TV.
To enjoy watching Shakur, you have to be a minimalist who is happy with fighters who don’t engage and use movement for 12 rounds. There aren’t many of these types of fans on the US market. As such, Shakur’s recent struggles have been frowned upon.
There are too many distractions To the fans now, and fighters using the fencing style that Mayweather was famous for are boring. they are not gaining fans now. Shakur does not belong to this era. The Reverend has the money to overpay Shakur and anyone who wants to wrestle him, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to be a star.
