Gervonta Davis versus Shakur Stevenson is on every list of fights fans want to see in the next twelve months.

The clash of styles and personality between the two unbeaten Americans sets the stage for a fascinating encounter that would be a unification in the lightweight division.

Tim Bradley Predicts Gervonta Davis-Shakur Stevenson After Poor Performance

They’re going to use things against him, they’re going to say ‘you don’t sell out any arena’s, you don’t bring anything to the table’. They’re going to say ‘you’re going to run all night’. They’re going to say everything they possibly can for this fight not to happen, but I think the fight should happen.”

Bradley is tipping Stevenson to come out on top due to his superior defensive skills.

“My money is on Shakur, I think defence wins championships. I could be wrong, ‘Tank’ is an animal and he can fight but he has yet to be in the ring with a guy as smart as Shakur and a guy that’s on this IQ level.

I got Shakur because of his defence, you can’t hit him, you cannot hit him. ‘Tank’ has the bomb, but if you can’t land that bomb or figure out a way to land that bomb then how is he going to beat him?”
