Gervonta Davis is fresh from becoming one of the youngest 2-time world champions in boxing history.
The ferocious American moved to 20-0 this past weekend, all but one of those victories came by way of knockout.
The Baltimore puncher claimed the WBA (super) featherweight title after knocking out Jesus Cuellar in round 3 of their meeting, this past weekend.
Gervonta and his promotional team headed of course, by the ever popular Floyd Mayweather Jr have been careful when mentioning Vasyl Lomachenko’s name.

But, as of late, there has been a change of heart and Davis has made his willingness to take on Lomachenko known, provided the fight is a lucrative PPV event.
“If they’re ready to put it on pay-per-view, let’s do it,” Davis said Saturday night after his knockout of Jesus Cuellar.
“If not, no.”
“For me, it really doesn’t matter,” Davis said Saturday night.
“I’m a fighter. But whatever my team – I have a great team.”

The super featherweight champion believes he has one of the standout teams currently in boxing. The 23-year-old said if his team agrees to the showdown with Lomachenko, he will have no qualms taking on the 2-time Olympic Gold medal winner.
I think I have one of the best teams in boxing. If they’re up for it, they say so, I’m wit it;” Gervonta bullishly stated.

“If Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis win that fight [against Cuellar], I already spoke to Todd duBoef from Top Rank,” Mayweather told Showtime in April. That interview was conducted by Jim Gray during an April 7 broadcast from Las Vegas.
“We look forward to Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis fighting Lomachenko after this fight. We know ‘Tank’ fights in April; Lomachenko fights in May.”
I already spoke to Top Rank, Todd duBoef, we’re gonna make that fight happen between Lomachenko and Gervonta Davis.”
