Eddie Hearn expects Gervonta Davis to fight Shakur Stevenson

•Jul 29, 2024

└Eddie Hearn Shakur Stevenson

Eddie Hearn expects Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Shakur Stevenson to agree to a unification lightweight title fight after talks with Vasiliy Lomachenko stalled.

Hearn has been competing with the world's leading promoters to sign Stevenson after the 27-year-old became a free agent at the conclusion of his agreement with Top Rank.

Davis had seemed set to face fellow 135lbs champion Lomachenko, but the Ukrainian withdrew from negotiations. An alternative between the 29-year-old and Stevenson is highly sought-after, and Hearn thinks that it is likely that it will happen.

“I wouldn't be surprised to see Tank [Davis] vs. Shakur [Stevenson] because situations and circumstances are everything,” Hearn told IFL TV. “Tank's got all his eggs in the basket for a Vasiliy Lomachenko fight, and then that falls through.

"You're left holding your dick at that point going, 'Who am I gonna fight?' Shakur's a free agent, he's ready to do a deal. Timing's everything.”

Hearn and Stevenson have been in talks over a promotional deal since the WBC champion made an appearance at a Matchroom promotion earlier in July.

“I met with Shakur, a great team, but really honest conversation,” the promoter added. “The conversation was, ‘I would love to sign you but I need to deliver the right fights for you, and if I can’t deliver those fights for you then maybe I’m not the guy to be with'. We all agree with the right fights; I’m the right man for the job, but I’ve got to deliver the right fights."

“He will be here on Saturday, as will the rest of the world. If we can work with Shakur, I would love to work with Shakur, but it’s got to be right for him, it’s got to be right for us as well. On my part, I would love to be Shakur’s promoter because I think he’s a great fighter.”
