Bob Arum calls out Floyd Mayweather: The key to the Davis-Stevenson fight?

The boxing circuit has been abuzz with speculations surrounding the anticipated bout between Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Shakur Stevenson. Every fan, pundit, and promoter seems eager to see these two boxing juggernauts go head-to-head. Amid this fervor, it’s Bob Arum, the seasoned promoter, who has taken center stage, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes dynamics.

Transitioning to a recent interaction with the media, Arum offered a glimpse into the intricacies of orchestrating such a high-profile event. The interviewer asked, “Is the Tank Davis and Shakur Stevenson fight something that we’re looking at in the near future or is this years off?”

Bob Arum, with his characteristic bluntness, replied, “Ask Floyd! I’m sure Shakur would jump at fighting Tank because it’s a big money fight, but you know it takes two to make a fight.”

This exchange underscores the complexities involved in setting up such matches. It’s not merely about an athlete’s readiness but a myriad of considerations, negotiations, and, in this case, the role of Floyd Mayweather. Moreover, with Arum’s remarks, the spotlight is now firmly on Mayweather, raising questions about his influence on this awaited showdown.

Boxing is no stranger to grand narratives, and the latest buzz centers around Terence Crawford’s audacious callout of Gervonta Davis. However, in this crescendo of challenges and rhetoric, Shakur Stevenson threw his hat into the ring, setting the stage for what might be boxing’s next iconic duel. In direct response to Crawford’s words, Stevenson unambiguously stated, “Me and Tank, it’s the biggest fight. It’s going to be the biggest boxing fight in the world when it happens.”

His confidence doesn’t end there. Stevenson ardently believes that both he and Tank will ink their names on that all-important contract in the not-so-distant future. As the boxing world waits with bated breath, the stage is set for a colossal showdown that promises to become the stuff of legends.
