Sean O’Malley has been longing to test his skills inside a boxing ring. On that occasion, he recently called out the WBA lightweight title holder Gervonta Davis. In this context, ahead of his title fight against Aljamain Sterling in August, O’Malley advised ‘Tank’ to gradually prepare himself for “a Conor-Floyd situation” or a crossover fight. At this, after ‘Sugar’ defeated Sterling with a KO, Shakur Stevenson recently declared that he would beat the UFC champion in boxing.
In this connection, O’Malley replied with Conor McGregor‘s popular line as soon as Stevenson’s remarks came to his notice. However, Stevenson stood his ground and rolled the ball of insult back to O’Malley. Here is what they said to one another.
