Wait a second! Is this a dream or reality? Shakur Stevenson is at the Barclays Center – not for a musical gig or an entertainment event, but for the Gervonta Davis–Lamont Roach Jr. fight! Now that’s a major twist.
The two fighters have drawn immense attention due to their ongoing back-and-forth over the past several months. Despite a potential title unification bout between the two lightweight champions being one of boxing’s most anticipated showdowns, they have yet to settle their differences.
Fresh off his title defense, Stevenson made his debut on a Riyadh Season card, stopping Josh Padley in the ninth round. Many see this as a statement win, strengthening his case for a showdown with ‘Tank’ Davis. However, the Baltimorean remains as noncommittal as ever. Now that Davis is wrapping up his first fight of the year – having set his sights on entering the ring three times in 2024 – hope has been reignited that the long-awaited clash with Stevenson could finally materialize.
