Trouble is knocking on Gervonta Davis‘ door. Very few can openly call out the American boxer and claim to make easy work of him. But it seems a confident, hot-and-coming prospect, Keyshawn Davis, is different. That’s not. He knows how he can do it. What did he say exactly?

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics silver medalist has already made his mark in the lightweight division with his well-rounded skills and knack for knockouts. Many fans believe he has all the markings of a world champion and is adding trash-talking to his list of qualities, as he chases fights with top names now. So, when the 11-0 record holder sat down in an interview with Top Rank, he was upbeat about his chances against ‘Tank.’

Talking about the fight with the WBA lightweight champion, Keyshawn Davis pointed out the one-dimensional boxing nature of the champion: one punch knockout blow. However, he believed he had a bigger arsenal of weapons to choose from and had every trick under his sleeves. He then listed his stabs, left and right hooks, and speed as the factors working in his favor. What’s more? He also took pride in his defense.

‘The Businessman’ continued, “My stabs are crazy. You see, I got that shot and the left hook or the right. You see my speed is crazy. My defense is crazy. I’m not saying that he don’t got none of that. I just feel like I’ve got more weapons than he’s got.”

He then explained the biggest difference between the two and what would make him a clear favorite. Keyshawn Davis highlighted their height difference. He added, “So, if I got a short guy at 5’5″, I’m 5’10”. I’ve got longer arms than him. If I’ve got a guy that is walking to me with his hands up, it’s target practice for me, and you’re not just going to catch me.”

Davis has his heart set on the lightweight champion. The Norfork native wants to face him next and has even drawn parallels with some of the iconic fights in boxing history.

Keyshawn Davis’ dream fight: Gervonta Davis

Expanding on his argument, Davis explained how ‘Tank’ would have a lot on his plate to deal with. Predicting himself to be the winner of their hypothetical bout, he compares it with the Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston encounter. He continued, “I feel like I’ll beat Tank, too, as well. I feel like it’ll be a Sugar Ray vs. Roberto Duran or Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston.”

Notably, Davi is fighting Gustavo Daniel Lemos next on November 8, and a win would push him closer to the top. Meanwhile, Gervonta Davis is coming off a knockout win against Frank Martin, and there are rumors of him fighting again this year in December. It remains to be seen whether their paths will cross next year or not.
