Rising star of boxing Keyshawn Davis says he is ready to take on world champions Gervonta Davis and Vasily Lomachenko; watch Keyshawn Davis take on Gustavo Lemos live on Sky Sports Main Event from 1am on Saturday morning
Keyshawn Davis says he would sign up now to fight lightweight champions Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Vasily Lomachenko but insists he doesn’t need the division’s biggest names to fulfil his destiny.
The 25-year-old American will attempt to extend his 11-0 professional record when he faces Gustavo Lemos live on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Despite his professional career still being in its early stages, Davis’ talent is such that he is already being touted for bouts with some of the sport’s biggest stars.
The Tokyo Olympics silver medallist is not interested in fighting close friend and WBC title holder WBC Shakur Stevenson, but would welcome an opportunity against WBA champion Davis or IBF champion Lomachenko.
Asked News if he is ready for those tests, Davis replied: “I think the question is – are they ready for me?
“If they are ready to fight me, if they’re willing to fight me I will sign up. They can send me a contract and I’ll sign it.”
“The Businessman is going to turn out to be who he’s going to be. I don’t need a specific name for me to become who I need to be.
“All I need is a world title and we’re going to take it to the next level after that.”
