“His Career Is Just Starting”: Why Gervonta Davis vs. Vasyl Lomachenko Is Important for Tank’s Resume

By
Gervonta Davis vs. Vasyl Lomachenko

After analyst, Stephen A. Smith prioritized Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson over ‘Tank’ vs. Vasyl Lomachenko, Kenny Ellis, one of Davis’ trainers, echoed Smith and announced ‘Tank’ would face Shakur first in the ring.

Taking to Instagram, Ellis announced that Lomachenko would “step aside” for the time being and fight the winner of Shakur Stevenson vs. Gervonta Davis in 2025. Here, as Davis’ name is being linked to stars like Lomachenko and Shakur, ShowBizz the Adult believes the party is just getting started for ‘Tank’!

As per ShowBizz the Adult, even though Gervonta Davis has had 30 professional fights since his debut, it seems like ‘Tank’ has yet to expose his true potential to the public. This is something that makes Davis different from his contemporaries. So, in ShowBizz the Adult’s opinion, a fight against two-time Olympic gold medalist and current IBF Lightweight champion, Vasyl Lomachenko is essential to the growth of Davis’ resume.

“Gevonta Davis is talking about fighting Lomanchenko [and] I’m very high on that fight. But a lot of you guys would prefer ‘Tank’ vs. Shakur and prefer ‘Tank’ vs. ‘Pitbull’. And you know what that means? That Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis has left a lot on his plate,” began ShowBizz the Adult.

“I do like Gervonta’s resume. But, it feels like his career is just starting,” he added. According to him, one cannot feel the same about Devin Haney and Teofmio Lopez. “[But] for some reason, you get the feeling that we’re just introducing Gervonta – it’s almost like his career is just starting. There’s a lot on the damn plate other than beating Ryan Garcia,” ShowBizz the Adult concluded.

But, can Vasyl Lomachenko test Gervonta Davis aptly? What do experts think?

Just when we started talking about Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Gervonta Davis, analyst, Stephen A. Smith claimed that the Ukrainian boxer was deficient in power. And according to Smith, “if you can’t punch with power,” you do not have a chance against Gervonta Davis. So, while Smith acknowledged Lomachenko’s intelligence and skills, he was unsure about the latter’s fate against ‘Tank.’ But, Shakur Stevenson felt otherwise.

As per Shakur’s understanding, although Lomachenko is about to exit his prime, the Ukrainian boxer is “no pushover.” “With the experience he’s got and the knowledge, I think it could be a tremendous fight,” Stevenson had said. And echoing Shakur, CEO of Top Rank,Bob Arum had declared, “We’re up for that fight [Davis]. Lomachenko’s up for that.” In Arum’s opinion, Lomachenko vs. Davis has the potential to exceed Davis vs. Shakur as far as financial gain was concerned.

Gervonta Davis’ Coach Calls Out Floyd Mayweather for a Fight

Floyd Mayweather Gervonta Davis

“I’m the best ever, nobody can beat me,” Floyd Mayweather once declared.

With his mastery of the Philly shell and the shoulder roll, Mayweather retired from the professional boxing scene with an undefeated record of 50-0. Many have tried to breach the impregnable fortress, including Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez—but none have succeeded. Mayweather made even the greatest fighters look like amateurs.

Astonishingly, he has never been knocked down by an opponent’s punch. But now, the big question is: can the new generation of boxers take him down?

The legendary boxing coach Kenny Ellis believes Gervonta Davis might be the one to crack the Mayweather code. Ellis is calling for a showdown between Davis and Mayweather, the bad blood and the compelling story of former partners facing off acting as the backdrop.

It’s a grudge match with a narrative that could make for an electrifying fight. What do you think? Is Davis the fighter who can finally challenge Mayweather’s legacy? Or should Mayweather let this insult by Kenny slide?

After John Gotti 3, will Money choose Davis to be his next opponent? Davis’ trainer has thrown down the gauntlet, and the ball, clearly, is in Mayweather’s court. Will, one of the greatest boxers of all time “stop spinning the fans” and give them an epic showdown?

Taking to Instagram, Davis’ trainer wrote, “Gervonta Davis can decode the shoulder roll if Floyd can fight another exhibition. He can fight another fight if he is great as he says he is. Let’s stop spinning the fans, Gervonta vs Floyd.”

‘Tank’ was once a hopeful prospect working for the Mayweather Promotions. However, after leaving Mayweather Promotions in 2022, before his fight against Rolly Romero, the uber-successful Davis with an undefeated boxing record has been at loggerheads with ‘Money’.

Mayweather had dreams of turning Davis into one of the biggest stars of his promotion. After all, he went to great lengths to make Davis sign the dotted line. “Uh, no I asked [was] what [Floyd] for the whole summer before I signed with him you know before I even you know signed anything on paper he already bought me cars, he bought me jewelry, and things like that.” Gervonat once told in an interview. But it wasn’t meant to be. Although they parted ways on friendly terms in 2022, bitterness crept in when Davis alleged that Mayweather stopped him from training in his gym before his fight against Ryan Garcia. But, later, the duo was seen celebrating in the ring after Davis beat ‘King Ry.

Safe to say, it has been a rocky on-again off-again professional relationship between them, with unresolved issues coming to the fore in the last couple of months. Of late, Davis even warned fighters to not sign with Floyd’s promotional company. “If you sign with this fraud..he will…[mess] up ya career…he’s not a good businessman at all,” He wrote on his Instagram story.

Accusations have been coming in thick and fast from both sides with Floyd reportedly taking a dig at Davis indirectly, claiming that fighters nowadays spend their money on frivolous things rather than saving it for a rainy day or investing it. To that, Davis responded by revealing that Floyd was held hostage in Dubai because of unpaid debts.

All things considered, the backstory is enticing enough to make for a blockbuster PPV draw. Moreover, it gives a chance for Floyd to break another record. Assuming, he takes up the challenge against the current WBA lightweight world title holder, he would have the chance of becoming the oldest world champion in the sport, joining the esteemed company of Bernard Hopkins and George Foreman.

Will the 47-year-old fighter dare to make it 51-0 in the professional circuit? Or, will he proceed to duck the 29-year-old Davis and stick to lucrative exhibition fights against opponents who are of no match to him? Nevertheless, one can only imagine what would happen when an unstoppable force like Davis, with 28 KOs in 30 fights, goes up against an immovable object like Mayweather.
