Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson: Davis trainer makes bold prediction for potential showdown

Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson: Davis trainer makes bold prediction for potential showdownShowtime Boxing
This all-American clash is a big one.

Kenny Ellis, a co-trainer for Gervonta Davis, believes a potential clash with Shakur Stevenson is not a 50-50 fight. 

Following Davis' win over Frank Martin in June, there have been calls for Davis to face the undefeated WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson next. 

If a fight between the two did get made, it would be a huge event with both men notable stars in American boxing. 

When it comes to picking a winner, many struggle to separate Davis and Stevenson, but Ellis explained why "Tank" is a clear favourite. 

“They can’t be 50-50 if Tank can punch and Shakur can’t punch,” Ellis said in a podcast with Cigar Talk and The Rize.

“They both can box. They both got a great IQ. Let’s say Tank is behind and he got to get himself out of trouble, and that motherf—r’s hammer is going to get him out of trouble.

"Now let’s say Shakur’s behind and he got to get himself out of trouble. How he going to get himself out of trouble? He don’t have no hammer. So they’re not 50-50. They can’t be 50-50.”

This fight may not be a difficult one to make with Stevenson a promotional free agent after his deal with Top Rank came to an end following a successful WBC lightweight title defence against Artem Harutyunyan last month.
