“You Have to Be There to See It”: Adrien Broner Reveals Why Devin Haney Is the Best Choice for Gervonta Davis’ Next Fight

When two champions come together to show what they’re made of, you can expect the surrounding aura to shift a bit. The lightweight kingpin in Boxing Devin Haney might engage in a duel with Gervonta Davis next.

The current WBA (Super) Lightweight champion gained notoriety for his aggressive style of boxing and remains undefeated in the ‘sweet science’. ‘Tank’ had recently knocked out ‘The Flash’ Ryan Garcia on the 22nd of April at Las Vegas and had broken Garcia’s 23-fight win streak. Haney, on the other hand, happens to be the current undisputed lightweight champion, with zero losses to his credit. On May 20th, ‘The Dream’ won against Ukrainian Boxer Vasiliy Lomachenko and defended his unquestionable titles.

Fans consider both fighters the best in their divisions and the possibility of their engagement seems like a match made in heaven for the fans of this sport.

Why Adrien Broner feels Devin Haney can compete with Gervonta Davis?

The former four-division world champion, Adrien Broner is no rookie in the realm of combat sports. During an interview with Teofimo Lopez the interviewer asked him who he would like to see Gervonta take on next. Adrien revealed how he was keen on witnessing a match between ‘Tank’ Davis and the undisputed Lightweight champion. He said, “you just have to be there to see it.” ‘The Can Man’ further rooted for Gervonta Davis by sharing his thoughts about the Baltimorean hard hitter.

Adrian Broner further added, “you know I would love for him to fight for the Undisputed. I don’t want to sound biased but I think ‘Tank’ got what it takes.” This was a subtle hint towards the side that ‘The Problem’ was leaning towards.

Gervonta Davis Vs ‘The Dream’: Who will win?

In an earlier interview, Adrien Brody supported Gervonta Davis when the latter had punched Haney while sparring at Floyd Mayweather Jr’s new gym. He was in awe of the holder of five world titles and his boxing prowess. He had also said that since Devin was only 17 years old, he was less experienced than ‘Tank.’ Broner immediately sprang into the ring and steadied Devin down.

In fact, the world champ was questioned about sparring with the youngest heavyweight champion after his seventh-round knockout of Ryan Garcia. Gervonta had said, “He need to focus on May the 20th. We’ll holla at him after. I don’t really wanna speak on him. This is my moment.”

It has been over seven years in his professional career, but the San Francisco-born fighter is yet to taste defeat. In his duel with underdog Lomachenko, he had won the last round on all three judges’ scorecards. Previously, Devin Haney has knocked out George Kambosos Jr, Jorge Linares, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and others in a renowned list.
