“He’s a Beast”: Oscar De La Hoya Reveals What Gervonta Davis Should Do Next

When will Gervonta Davis come back to the ring? The Baltimore resident last appeared in the ring in April earlier this year against Ryan Garcia. While ‘Tank’ dominantly won the fight, tragedy struck as he was sentenced to 90 days in prison for a minor offense. Since then, the boxing community has been awaiting Davis’ return. While his return date is up in the air, Oscar De La Hoya proposed the next few steps that the WBA (Regular) lightweight champion should take.

While appearing in a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, Garcia’s promoter spoke highly about the 29-year-old. It’s worth mentioning that Davis is currently involved in a back-and-forth with Devin Haney, but it’s not worth putting one’s money on. So, as the wait continues, Oscar De La Hoya details what Davis needs to do next.

Oscar De La Hoya claims Gervonta Davis should fight the best

While speaking to Fight Hub TV, ‘Golden Boy’ claimed ‘Tank’ should fight a title holder and potentially try to unify all the belts in his division. “I think Tank now has to go after a world champion, you know, and maybe…he has to unify. Maybe Tank, yeah, and unification would be great,” said De La Hoya. He went on to suggest that his opponents have to be the best in the sport while claiming Davis has what it takes to defeat them. 

“But obviously fighting the top dogs, you know, the best of the best, and it’s in him. I mean, Tank Davis is…a beast, man. He’s an amazing fighter,” said De La Hoya. The former champion concluded his suggestion by adding that Davis is an amazing fighter and would want to fight the best. While Oscar suggested Davis should try to unify the titles in the division, Teofimo Lopez named the only boxer who could beat Davis.

Teofimo Lopez claims Ryan Garcia is not an A+ boxer

When a boxer is unbeaten, it’s obvious for people to speculate who can potentially beat the fighter. The same goes for the formidable Gervonta Davis, considered the face of boxing right now. While appearing in a recent episode of Jaxxon Podcast, ‘The Takeover’ Lopez revealed the only boxer who stands a chance against ‘Tank’ Davis. 

“The only one that gives him a challenge is Shakur. Shakur Stevenson will give him a challenge. Because Shakur is technical where you gotta really little bit think more. Tank has been fighting C to B class fighters. Ryan is an A+ on media, on the internet, but not as a boxer, we all know this,” said Lopez. While even Shakur Stevenson has expressed a desire to fight Tank in the past, it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.
