# Gervonta Davis No Longer Has Respect For Shakur Stevenson: “We Ain’t Cool Anymore”

Now a decade into his pro career and with a 100% win rate in all 29 of his fights, there are few people whose respect Gervonta Davis hasn’t earned – but apparently he feels disrespected by lightweight rival, Shakur Stevenson.

‘Tank’ has proven himself to be a real badman from Baltimore with vicious KO wins against the likes of Leo Santa Cruz in 2020, a protracted beatdown on Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2019 and most recently back in April, a [devilish body shot saw him take a high profile PPV win over the much-hyped Ryan Garcia](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-12003797/Gervonta-Davis-beats-Ryan-Garcia-TKO-round-seven.html) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

[Speaking to Culture Boxing](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DFnrAxq6M8g), the current WBA world lightweight champion explains why he no longer has any respect for the former WBO featherweight and super-featherweight belt holder Shakur Stevenson after Stevenson suggested Davis wouldn’t dare get into the ring with him.

> “He throw shots, then want to be buddy-buddy, know what I mean?
>
> Saying all this stuff on Twitter then running into my locker room and wanting to take a picture and all that type stuff. You feel me? He’s got to stand on that. We ain’t cool no more. That’s why I’m in this mode. I ain’t got no friends in this.
>
> Don’t go on the internet saying I wouldn’t dare step in the ring with you – that’s disrespect.”

This is not the first time Davis has spoken out over Stevenson – earlier in the month [he doubted the power the 25-year-old carries into the ring](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/gervonta-davis-says-rival-has-no-power/).

That said, Stevenson has seen plenty of success in lower divisions, and the slick southpaw moved up to lightweight in his last fight in April, brushing aside Shuichiro Yoshino with a 6th-round knockout. As such he is now campaigning in the same circles as Tank, so a head-to-head between the two young Americans is a mouth-watering prospect indeed.
