Gervonta Davis Deemed to Offer a “Chess Match” in a Potential Fight Against Vasyl Lomachenko

Three-division world champion Gervonta Davis returned to the 135 lbs unit in his latest outing against Isaac Cruz, which didn’t go very well for him. Although Davis outworked his opponent, he couldn’t score a stoppage, ending his 16 fight KO-streak at a go. Well, ‘Tank’ may remain in the lightweight division for some time, and can generate some of the best matchups.

Precisely, Davis is seemingly looking for a pay-per-view opponent, which will help him fetch a massive payday. The lightweight division is already blooming with top-tier contenders and Davis can stage umpteen blockbuster matchups from the slot. That said, former champion Vasyl Lomachenko seems to have grabbed Team Davis’ attention. Gervonta Davis’ trainer connected with ES News and shared his views on Tank’s potential in a clash with ‘The Matrix’.

Davis’s coach Calvin Ford said, “We are waiting on that fight [with Lomachenk]. It’s going to be a chess match,”

“I don’t know if Loma will take the chances that he will with Tank, but that’s a mega-fight, to tell you the truth.”

“It’s a fight that people have been waiting on. I don’t know what his [Lomachenko] next fight is. But 2022 is going to be a really interesting year for all of them, to tell you the truth because they got to fight each other.” (H/T:- worldboxingnews.net)

Gervonta Davis and Vasyl Lomachenko are currently on different tracks. While Tank’s team doesn’t mind seeing their prodigy face Lomachenko, the Ukrainian star seems to have other plans on his mind. Per reports, Top Rank chief Bob Arum is trying to stage a fight between Lomachenko and lightweight titlist George Kambosos Jr. in Australia. So, Davis can take a back seat till then.

Gervonta Davis can slide in at anytime

WBA (regular) 135 lbs champion Gervonta Davis is an elite-level knockout artist and has put almost all of his opponents to sleep. However, he hasn’t faced the best fighters in the lightweight division, which we can finally see happening in 2022. Tank’s physical frame suits him very well in the 135 lbs division.

While he also holds a word title over there, we can see him go against the mandatory contenders.
