For many, the fight between Gervonta Tank Davis and Shakur Stevenson is one of the best fights in sports, and it was the one that heated up social media last week.
However, the biggest fights often happen, so they are titans of the business, but boxers do not meet in the heat of battle.
Stevenson, promoted by Top Rank, will fight July 6 at home in Newark, N.J., while Davis, a PBC fighter, is scheduled to fight Frank Davis in Las Vegas on June 15. . Martin is in a boxing match.
Top Rank President Todd duBoef was asked by BoxingScene if Tank and Stevenson would meet one day.
“I hope so, I think it’s fair,” Dubov said. – I think a good weight class is between [1]30 to [1]40 pounds. I think there is a lot of movement and vibration there. I think they both went up in weight classes and they can hit all the weight classes – it looks like they can cut weight to lose three to five pounds and gain weight to get to three to five pounds. So I think a lot of interesting things can be done there. But we have to consider everyone’s expectations. – We can say, – One day, [Oscar] De La Hoya and [Felix] Trinidad will fight again, they will have another match,” – One day [Floyd Mewe Spurs and De La Hoya will go to the second match,” You don’t want a [Mike] Tyson and [Lennox] Lewis situation, one day, but one day is too long. “

Stevenson (21-0, 10 KOs) is the 26-year-old WBC champion’s comeback after a narrow victory over Edwin de los Santos in a fight that failed to impress at the Prudential Center.
Dubov emphasized that Newark was a big part of the growth of Shakur Stevenson’s business.
“We still believe in our hometown, right?” Dubov said. “We’ve always loved our hometown, going back to when Floyd (Mayweather Jr.) fought in Grand Rapids, Miss., and I put Mayweather there in that fight and he started to fight after his first title defense. … …it’s always good to have Miguel Cotto come to Puerto Rico at least once a year; it doesn’t feel good to be disconnected, you know? “If the Lakers didn’t play in Los Angeles, they’d be in San Francisco and Dallas, and you’d think, ‘Wait a minute, it doesn’t make sense.
– So I think it’s a good environment, a natural boxing audience and a good base – the area of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts is fertile ground for boxing fans. So we want to go east.
“I think he’s one of the great fighters of our time, people respect him and show him what he’s capable of.”
