Gervonta Davis’ Team Reveals Upcoming Hit List
Gervonta Davis’ team has revealed his upcoming hit list ahead of his fight against Frank Martin on Saturday.
Davis is one of the biggest names in boxing and has fought some big fights already. But, there remain other big fights out there for him and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe revealed some of his hit list, which includes Shakur Stevenson.
“Trust me, Shakur is going to get that work,” Ellerbe told BoxingScene. “He’s asking for it, and he’s going to get it. It ain’t what he thinks it is. I can’t wait for it to happen. I’m not putting a timetable on a Stevenson fight, but they come to [Davis] when you’re the top dog. Tank has a hit list and a set of goals, and he’s going to give it to whoever is considered the ‘top guys’ and get them out of the way and ride off into the sunset.
“He isn’t going to be sticking around, I can guarantee you that. I wouldn’t call it early retirement, just getting through the hit list and walking away as a wealthy man at a young age. Once he wipes out the division, we will come to the conclusion that Tank is the best fighter in the entire world.”
Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson is one of the biggest fights to make in boxing, as well as Devin Haney who is also on the list despite losing to Ryan Garcia last time out.
“Devin is one of the guys on Tank’s list, too, and it will happen when the time comes. I can’t put a timetable on it,” said Ellerbe. “I’m convinced that all these guys will get an opportunity at some point. None of these guys can f*** with Tank Davis, and I will stand on that.”
For now, however, the focus for Gervonta Davis is on Frank Martin but Leonard Ellerbe has confidence ‘Tank’ will get a KO win.
“Frank is a very good, slick fighter with good skills, athleticism, speed and solid power,” said Ellerbe. “He’s one of the top fighters in the division, who is ready to lay it all out on the line. Tank chose him, and Tank is going to stop him. Tank can do it all. He’s a complete fighter. He can box. He can bang. He has a great defense and can take a great shot. It’s going to be fireworks and a great fight. But Martin ain’t f****** with Tank, though.”
