Shakur Stevenson has offered his take on a potential clash between Gervonta Davis and Vasiliy Lomachenko, which could soon become a more realistic matchup.
While having not fought since March 2025, when he boxed to a controversial draw against Lamont Roach, Davis is expected to return to action later this year.
Initially, it appeared as though his comeback would be against Floyd Schofield, who he was in negotiations to fight for the vacant WBA lightweight title.
Instead of looking to reclaim his belt, though, ‘Tank’ has now pulled out of negotiations and is seemingly exploring alternative options, including a clash with WBO welterweight champion Devin Haney.
It came as a surprise when, earlier this week, Haney took to social media and claimed to have been contacted by Davis’ team.
Whether their unlikely showdown actually comes to fruition, we shall wait and see, but Davis does seem to be inching closer towards a ring return.
Someone who could also enter a comeback fight later this year is Lomachenko, who has not fought since his 11th-round finish over George Kambosos Jr in May 2024.
While active, the three-weight world champion was repeatedly linked to a fight with Davis, who Stevenson believes would defeat the masterful Ukrainian.
Speaking with Daily Mail Boxing, Stevenson predicted that ‘Tank’ would emerge victorious if the pair did meet – a fight that could be revisited depending on how the coming months unfold.
But with Lomachenko expected to return at 135lbs, or even 130lbs, Davis would need to abandon any talks of an encounter with Haney at 147lbs.
In any case, Haney has been ordered to defend his WBO title against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis, who seems a more realistic opponent than ‘Tank’.
