Shakur Stevenson on whether he's more likely to fight Gervonta Davis or Devin Haney

Shakur Stevenson will defend his WBC lightweight world championship against Joe Cordina on October 12 as the co-feature to the Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol undisputed light heavyweight tilt in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

But even still, Stevenson can't get away from fielding questions about a possible mega fight with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis, the WBA lightweight titleholder.

When asked on the ARLS Podcast whether he believes a fight with Davis or Devin Haney is more likely, Stevenson was clear with his gut feeling.

"I think the 'Tank' fight is more so possible," Stevenson said. "I think 'Tank' is not like no scary dude. 'Tank,' he believes in himself to the fullest. When he's knocking them people out it gives him great confidence. I think that fight will happen."

When pressed to answer whether that mega bout can be made in the next 12 months, Stevenson responded: "Yeah, I could see that happening."

Stevenson can envision that bout over a possible fight with Haney, adding: "Devin, I don't believe he's really that confident. I don't believe he really believes in himself like 'Tank' do."

A Davis-Stevenson fight would pit two undefeated boxers up against each other with lightweight supremacy on the line.
