Unraveling the Gervonta Davis Dilemma
The 'Face of Boxing' and His Retirement Plans
Davis' announcement this week that he will retire at the end of 2025 after three more fights has put the media on high alert. They are constantly pressing him for details about when he will face Shakur and Haney. However, Davis quickly shut down these questions, and his reaction when asked about them was quite intense. His eyes bugged out, and it was clear that he was not in the mood to discuss the matter. It seems that he has no intention of fighting either of these opponents in the future. Davis claims to have three fights left, but it is unlikely that either Shakur or Haney will get the opportunity next year.When a media member asked him directly if he still planned to fight Devin and Shakur before retiring, Davis responded, "I never said that. When did I say that? But I would for sure." This response only added to the confusion and speculation surrounding his retirement plans.
Given Davis' strong reaction, it is advisable for future reporters to avoid this topic. It is like a sensitive issue for him, and he shows no interest in engaging with it.
The Potential Final Three Opponents
Ryan Garcia is seen as the biggest money fight for Tank. Additionally, Vasily Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez are also in the mix.Stevenson was understandably upset when he saw Davis' reaction today. He had been hoping to secure a fight with Davis in 2025 and had likely built up expectations. However, it now seems unlikely that this will happen.
Promoter Eddie Hearn has already scratched Tank's name off the list of potential opponents for Shakur next year. He has stated that he wants William Zepeda for Stevenson after his fight with Floyd Schofield on February 22nd. This decision further dampens the hopes of Shakur getting a fight with Davis.
For Shakur, his chances of facing Tank are not looking good. He is known for being a runner and has failed to take on the opponents necessary to enhance his reputation. In 2025, Shakur can consider fighting Floyd Schofield, William Zepeda, and Edwin De Los Santos.
Shakur Stevenson's Reaction
Shakur Stevenson took to X to express his emotions when his name was brought up at the press conference. He said, "Every time my name comes up, boy get hella emotional. If you're that bothered, settle it in the ring, gangster." He also called on Gervonta Davis to fight him.Despite Davis' denial, the situation remains tense. Fans and experts alike are eager to see how this will play out in the coming months.
Gervonta Davis' stance on not wanting to fight Shakur Stevenson or Devin Haney before retiring has created a lot of buzz in the boxing world. It remains to be seen if he will stick to his decision or if there will be a change in plans.

Witness the Rebirth of a Boxing Champion
The 'Skinny and Drawn' Cruiserweight
Lawrence Okolie, hailing from Hackney but now based in Bahrain, trained at Manchester's Moss Side boxing gym during a short visit. Under the guidance of coach Joe Gallagher, he towered over stablemate Natasha Jonas. Standing at 6ft 5in, he often had a height and reach advantage at cruiserweight. However, weight became a significant issue. Outside of training camp, his scales would peak at 17st, far above the 14st 4lb cruiserweight limit. He recalls, "For weeks before I wasn't thinking about the fight but the weigh-in. I was having to do long runs, skips, whatever it took to drop the last bit of water weight. I looked skinny and drawn, even though at the time I thought I looked great."During this time, his focus was on making the weight and getting into fighting shape. It was a challenging period that tested his mental and physical endurance.
But now, he is ready to take on a new challenge in the heavyweight division.
Mixed Grills & Personal Bests
Okolie has started piling on the pounds and is now enjoying the "luxury" of being able to eat three solid meals. With noticeably bigger biceps and wider shoulders, he smiles as he talks about the change. "At cruiserweight, I was having just two meals and intermittent fasting. It was all down to the grams, meal preps, everything had to be done to a T. I had to know the answer. Now I can be a bit more like 'whatever'. I can have oats in the morning, pasta at lunch, a mixed grill for dinner. I can get hungry in the night time and allow myself a snack."He also smirks as he discusses hitting personal bests in weight training, though he refuses to give specifics, stating, "Other heavyweights can probably lift heavier." This newfound strength has resulted in extra power, which he can feel in the way the bag reacts and the sound of the pads during training.
'No Point Putting on Extra Stones'
Okolie is aware that he doesn't need to make weight in the heavyweight division but understands the importance of not getting carried away with his newfound freedom. He recalls his childhood when at 14, he would eat chicken and chips every day after school and was described as clinically obese. Boxing training introduced him to the importance of nutrition.A few weeks before his heavyweight debut, he tipped the scales at 18st 6lb, but he plans to drop at least another stone before fight night. Anthony Joshua weighed 18st for his loss to Daniel Dubois, and Dubois was a career-heavy 17st 10lb. Tyson Fury was 18st 7lb when he faced Oleksandr Usyk.
"As a cruiserweight, I sparred a lot of heavyweights and I can take a lot of confidence about how those spars went, so there's no point putting on extra stones and losing speed and sharpness," he said. This shows his wisdom and understanding of the sport as he prepares for his upcoming fight.
