A look at the Shakur Stevenson vs Gervonta Davis fight which is not at all gone and can absolutely still be made in 2026. Learn more.
Shakur Stevenson had the biggest and best win of his career recently.
A boxing clinic against Teofimo Lopez that saw him school Lopez and win a wide points decision.
But Teofimo Lopez had been in huge decline in recent years in boxing and he is not Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
Davis has been in a bit of a decline as well in recent years but his ability and power are a threat to Stevenson, even now.
It’s still the biggest fight for Stevenson at the end of the day right now, here’s why:
- Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson are both undefeated American champions as of May 2026.
- Stevenson holds the WBC lightweight title; Davis holds the WBA lightweight title.
- A Davis vs Stevenson fight would unify two lightweight world titles.
- Both fighters are in their prime and ranked in top pound-for-pound lists.
- Davis has major pay-per-view drawing power with multiple arena sellouts.
- Stevenson is known for elite defensive skills and high boxing IQ.
- The matchup is stylistically viewed as power puncher vs technician.
- No official deal or date for Davis vs Stevenson has been announced as of May 2026.
- Stevenson has publicly called for the Davis fight as his top target.
- The bout is considered the biggest commercial fight available at 135 lbs for Stevenson.
It is a massive fight in America and worldwide and Davis is back in training now.
Sure, Davis hasn’t fought since last year in the draw with Lamont Roach but he if he gets in shape can absolutely go into a Stevenson fight.
It would sell out in minutes anywhere in America.
Gervonta Davis recently sorted his outside the boxing ring issues to apparently now be back in training and able to fight anytime now as well.
So there’s nothing stopping it from being made.
Other boxers like Floyd Schofield are also calling out Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis as well though.
Let’s see what happens with them.
