Gervonta Davis has a lot of options at both 130 and 135 pounds. One possible opponent he seems to like: the winner of the Dec. 5 lightweight fight between Ryan Garcia and Luke Campbell.
Davis (24-0, 23 KOs) knocked Leo Santa Cruz out cold with an epic left uppercut this past Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio, a significant step in the career of the 25-year-old slugger.
“I know about both guys, they’re tremendous fighters,” Davis told The Independent. “I can take the winner. I’ll fight either of them, they’re both great opponents. Luke Campbell is a great fighter, it certainly won’t be easy for Garcia.”
“My eyes are definitely on this fight as I’d love to take on the winner. It’s a great fight and it’s hard to pick a winner. Both can fight and both are elite. I’m a fan of the sport, so I’ll definitely be watching.
“May the best man win. And then they can fight me next. We can definitely do it in the U.K. too [if Campbell wins]. I love it there after fighting [Liam] Walsh and really appreciate the support over there.”
Davis and Garcia (20-0, 17 KOs) both have massive social media followings and both can crack. Garcia has had a string of early knockouts.
Campbell (20-3, 16 KOs) won a gold medal for England in the 2012 Olympics a is a two-time world title challenger, losing to Jorge Linares and Vasiliy Lomachenko.
