“In spite of Gervonta Davis’ legal complications, a bout with Shakur Stevenson is reportedly still being planned.”

Boxer Gervonta Davis is facing a sporting hiatus to deal with his legal troubles. However, promoter Eddie Hearn wants the famous “Tank’s” next fight to be against Shakur Stevenson, although he is not sure if this fight can take place. Even his next fight against Lamont Roach Jr in August is in doubt as to whether it will take place.

Eddie Hearn has a Plan B where if Tank can’t face Stevenson, the promoter can choose between the winners of Andy Cruz against Raymond Muratalla or the winner of Abdullah Mason against Sam Noakes. Hearn still needs to re-sign Stevenson, as his two-fight contract with Matchroom expired with his fight last Saturday night against William Zepeda in Queens, New York.

Shakur Stevenson, a boxer to Eddie Hearn’s liking

For the promoter, it is clear that the trial contract is about to expire so he intends to draw up a new one, but now on a long-term basis. “He has had two fights. We will now talk about an extension with Matchroom. Hopefully we can continue that relationship. We would love to. We have to reach a proper agreement for the fight. I think we can achieve it”, said Eddie Hearn to iFL TV about his desire to renew Shakur Stevenson’s contract.

The petro-dollars are on Hearn’s side, who has the support of Turki Alalshikh, the Arab sheikh and boxing promoter, where he can arrange the fight between Gervonta Davis and Shakur. Only then will the fight be finalized. Tank Davis will want a similar salary to Turki’s, and Hearn could not afford it. The two fights Shakur had with Matchroom were against William Zepeda and Josh Padley. It is worth noting that Hearn did not make the most of the two-fight deal with Shakur because the fight with Floyd Schofield was canceled last February.

Sam Noakes will fight Abdullah Mason for the vacant WBO lightweight title. Andy Cruz will fight Muratalla for the IBF title. Opportunities will arise there. “He will be very difficult to beat,” Hearn said of Shakur. Perhaps Hearn is overdoing it with his praise of Stevenson. Last night’s fight between Stevenson and William Zepeda was one of the toughest of Stevenson’s career. Even running, he suffered because of Zepeda’s pressure.

It’s easy to think of that fight and assume that it will be much more difficult for Shakur if he decides to fight the heavyweights, Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla or Abdullah Mason. Cruz’s power, speed and technique would be a nightmare for Shakur. Tank Davis still has a rematch with Lamont Roach, scheduled for August 16. However, the fight has not been officially announced and it is questionable whether it will take place on that date. If it is delayed, Shakur will have to look for another option for his next fight. He can’t just wait for Davis.

Rematch Report: PBC Eyes New Dates for Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach Rematch, Targeting August 23 or 30 in Las Vegas

Gervonta Davis’ immediate rematch with Lamont Roach has been pushed back at least another week or two, perhaps longer.
The Ring learned Sunday that representatives for Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions were working over the weekend to determine if the second 12-round, 135-pound championship bout between Davis and Roach could be scheduled for Aug. 23 or 30 in Las Vegas.
PBC intended to hold their WBA lightweight championship rematch Aug. 16 in Las Vegas, but fighting on that date became increasingly unlikely even before Davis was arrested again Friday for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, the mother of two of his children, on June 15 in Doral, Florida.

The Ring reported two months ago that the Davis-Roach rematch would take place Aug. 16, but PBC never announced it for that date.
The Ring has also learned Davis, 30, had stopped training in Miami for approximately three weeks prior to his arrest Friday. It isn’t clear how yet another legal issue could impact his availability to fight next month and beyond.
Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOs), of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, is obligated to an immediate rematch with Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) because the Baltimore native exercised that contractual right after they fought to a surprising majority draw March 1 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Davis was heavily favored to win.

If Davis is either unable or unwilling to commit to their rematch within a reasonable period of time, however, Roach’s representatives could begin exploring other options for the WBA super featherweight champion’s next fight.
Gervonta davisHandlers for Davis, The Ring’s No. 1-ranked lightweight, and Roach, ranked No. 4 among The Ring’s junior lightweight contenders, first talked about scheduling their rematch for June 21 in Las Vegas. Davis reportedly wanted more time to train, though, which was when the targeted date moved to Aug. 16, four weeks from this Saturday.

Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya Sends Gervonta Davis Scathing Message For Domestic Violence Arrest

Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya is tired of Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ antics after his most recent arrest.

On July 11, boxing superstar and WBA lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on charges of assault after an alleged domestic violence dispute with his ex-girlfriend.

The incident occurred on June 15, when Davis allegedly struck the woman (with whom he shares two children) on the back of the head and also slapped her in the face while she was removing the children from the back of Davis’ car.

The victim had a cut on her inner lip as a result of this altercation, and her mother, who appeared on the scene after she received a distraught text message from her daughter, had a phone recording where Davis could reportedly be seen throwing an object at his ex-girlfriend.

Davis was released on bail on Friday morning. And videos of him leaving the jail where he was being held have since gone viral on social media.

This isn’t the first time Davis has been connected to a domestic violence case, as he was arrested for allegedly striking a woman (presumably the same woman as this most recent incident) with a “closed hand type slap” in December 2022. However, these charges were ultimately dropped because the woman involved declined to press charges against Davis.

It seems that members of the boxing community are fed up with Davis’ actions. This was shown by comments that the legendary Oscar De La Hoya made when he was asked about Tank’s most recent arrest by Fight Hub TV on July 12.

“He did, huh? Again?” De La Hoya said when told about Davis’ arrest. “Look, I actually like Tank Davis. He’s a good kid, he’s a good fighter, a great fighter, actually. He’s one of my favorites.

“Just get your s*** together, man. That’s it. You don’t hit women, man,” he added.
