Promoter Eddie Hearn is convinced that he can negotiate a unification fight between the WBA champion Lightweight Gervonta Davis and WBC champion Shakur Stevenson.
Hearn says that as long as “Everyone is sensible,“He believes he can bring together the fight. He believes that Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KB) has no option for him to earn the “big money”.
The promoter of Boxing Matchroom Hearn may have forgotten that Ryan Garcia is an option for Tank Davis to take in a revenge match. This fight would bring back much more money than Shakur for the Baltimore native. Shakur, 27, is not popular with occasional boxing fans or a PPV attraction. He has a fans base, but far from that of Ryan. Even Devin Haney is more popular than Shakur.
Hearn has a two -fighting agreement with Shakur Stevenson, and he doesn’t seem good for the first fight. If he cannot obtain the fight of tanks in the second fight of his agreement with Shakur, it would be a good idea to abandon his desperate dream of transforming him into a “Global star. “Hearn does not understand that the American market has changed its tastes. If you are not an action fighter, you are nobody.
Money struggle
“If everyone is reasonable. What other fights are there for Tank? “Said Eddie Hearn to Boxing news When he was asked if he thought he could fight the fight from Gervonta Davis to Shakur Stevenson then. “He is [Tank] I have a decent fight then, but it is [Lamont Roach].
“Tank will want to be in large fights. He will want to earn a lot of money, and I think the biggest fight for him is Shakur Stevenson and Vice Versa, “said Hearn.
You hate saying it, but Hearn made a mistake by signing Shakur. He signed Shakur for a contract of two fights in 2024. His first fight of the agreement was supposed to be against Joe Cordina on October 12 of last year. Shakur underwent training on hand injuries for this fight and had to withdraw.
This Saturday will be Stevenson’s first fight with Matchroom. He was supposed to fight Floyd Schofield, but he retired with a disease. It would not be a big fight, but it was always tolerable.
Now, however, Shakur combat a replacement opponent. These are the two options: Josh Padley and Moussa Gholam. Hearn is not going to get his money in Shakur’s first fight with Matchroom, and he can have the same problem if he cannot deliver Tank Davis.
