Rising star Keyshawn Davis is oozing confidence. Talking to Sky Sports activities News the 11-0 Virginian was requested if he’s ready to face prime names Gervonta “Tank” Davis, and Vasyl Lomachenko. “I feel the query,” Davis mentioned, “is are they prepared for me?” Tank Davis? Lomachenko? Is the 27 yr outdated Davis critical? “If they’re able to struggle me,” mentioned Davis, “in the event that they’re keen to struggle me I’ll join. They will ship me a contract and I’ll signal it.”
Nonetheless, the up and coming light-weight, who is called “The Businessman,” isn’t overly choosy when involves battling for a title belt. “It doesn’t matter,” he mentioned. “A belt is a belt.” Davis is clearly not thinking about overthinking the state of affairs. “The Businessman goes to become who he’s going to be,” Davis mentioned. “I don’t want a selected title for me to develop into who I must be.” To Davis, it’s the belt, not the opponent, that’s of major significance. “All I would like,” he mentioned, “is a world title and we’re going to take it to the subsequent degree after that.”
In the mean time, Davis is concentrated on the 29-1 Gustavo Daniel Lemos, who he’ll be going through in a scheduled 10 spherical rematch this Friday. Davis, who can be going through Lemos in his native Virginia, has optimistic issues to say about this weekend’s opponent. “He’s accepted the struggle,” Davis mentioned of Lemos. “He’s coming to my hometown to struggle me, that simply speaks to his confidence, that he actually believes he can simply beat me anyplace.”
Such confidence can result in entertaining fights, and Davis needs to entertain his native supporters on Friday night time. “That’s going to be an ideal struggle,” he mentioned, “with the matchup, his (Lemos’) mentality, my mentality. However simply understanding what I’m able to, ‘The Businessman’ is simply going to deal with enterprise that night time.”
Despite the fact that he’s reportedly not thinking about taking up his pal Shakur Stevenson, Davis feels he’s the highest light-weight on the planet. “I’m the most effective 135-pounder out proper now, and every struggle I’m simply going to maintain proving that,” he mentioned. Davis has an opportunity to show himself as soon as once more Friday night time. Little doubt the person can be seeking to impress. Maybe the truth that Lemos got here in chubby at Thursday’s weigh in means it is going to be harder for Davis to look spectacular than he at first thought.
Then once more…
