Mega fights in boxing are generally hard to come by, but fans have been blessed over the past few years with big names swallowing their pride in the chase for glory. This year, we’ve seen Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk deliver a true spectacle. Last year, we saw Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis link up.

That latter fight went swimmingly for Tank, who knocked out Garcia with a vicious body shot after knocking him down earlier. Davis is certainly not scared of the high-profile names, so it’s no surprise to hear the recent rumors about him potentially fighting Shakur Stevenson. While most expect a very even fight, Davis’ team doesn’t believe that will be the case.
Tank’s trainer, Kenny Ellis, recently spoke about the potential fight and is adamant that Davis has something that Stevenson simply doesn’t: power.
They can’t be 50-50 if Tank can punch and Shakur can’t punch… Let’s say Tank is behind and he’s got to get himself out of trouble, and that motherf***ing hammer is going to get him out of trouble. Now let’s say Shakur’s behind and he’s got to get himself out of trouble. How’s he going to get himself out of trouble? He don’t have no hammer.
Ellis ended up taking it a step further, really laying into Stevenson and giving him no chance: “Tank is faster. He’s bigger. He’s stronger. He’s smarter. He ain’t got nothing on Tank. If it goes 12 rounds, I’m walking away from boxing.”
