Gervonta Davis is 30-0 with 28 knockouts, and he really doesn’t have much else to prove. He’s one of the most dangerous fighters in the sport, which makes it tough for him to find willing high-profile opponents.

Now, the key for Tank is to find a way to become undisputed. It’s a tough path to go on considering he only has the WBA belt and the other three major world titles belong to three different fighters.
Step one would be to unify, and that’s exactly what Eddie Hearn is sure Davis will do next.
With IBF champion Vasiliy Lomachenko taking some time to himself and Denys Berinchyk not a big enough name yet, there’s only one option for Tank in Hearn’s eyes: Shakur Stevenson.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tank against Shakur because: situations and circumstances are everything. Tank’s got all his eggs in his basket for a Lomachenko fight, then that falls through. You’re really left holding your d**k at that point going: ‘Who am I gonna fight?’ Boom, Shakur’s a free agent, he’s ready to do a deal. Timing’s everything.
Hearn also spoke briefly about potentially signing Stevenson to Matchroom, but he said everything is up in the air at this point. The promoter isn’t sure if Stevenson truly needs him, but if he does, Hearn would be more than willing to work with him.
