Dana White promised that Zuffa Boxing would make the biggest and best fights possible and after signing Shakur Stevenson to a multi-fight deal, is it possible that Gervonta \u201cTank\u201d Davis is a future domino that could fall in line for the promotion?<\/p>\n
On Sunday night following Zuffa Boxing 9 in New York, White was asked about potentially booking a fight between Davis and Stevenson, which would undoubtedly be one of the most monumental fights in the sport. Davis hasn\u2019t fought since March 2025 when he went to a razor-close draw with Lamont Roach Jr. and a planned showdown against Jake Paul was cancelled due to a litany of legal issues including accusations of domestic violence, although police eventually dropped all charges against him.<\/p>\n
But White admits that he has spoken to Davis and he\u2019s definitely interested in working together in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know [about booking Tank vs. Shakur],\u201d White said. \u201cI do love Tank Davis. I\u2019m actually a fan and we\u2019ve talked to them. I don\u2019t want to speak for him or whatever but I have talked to him and I\u2019m a fan.\u201d<\/p>\n
At his peak, Davis was considered one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport while winning titles across three different weight classes. The 31-year-old fighter hasn\u2019t said much lately about plans to fight again any time soon but obviously it sounds like he could eventually find a home in Zuffa Boxing.<\/p>\n
White obviously wouldn\u2019t speculate if that would happen or not but he\u2019s maintaining his position that he\u2019s going after the best fighters to book the biggest fights in the sport.<\/p>\n
Based on the history of both fighters, Davis vs. Stevenson could draw a lot of eyeballs but there\u2019s no telling if it might actually happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can make these fights and we can only hope,\u201d White said. \u201cWe knew tonight\u2019s main event was going to be good but you don\u2019t know until it plays out. I\u2019m looking to make all the big fights that are out there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dana White promised that Zuffa Boxing would make the biggest and best fights possible and after signing Shakur…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":829984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,711,49,48,701,82,3194],"class_list":["post-829983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-latest-news","tag-sports","tag-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/829984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
