MillCity Boxing<\/a> about wanting his son, \u2018Kid Austin,\u2019 to snatch the torch from \u2018The Big Four.\u2019<\/p>\nThere\u2019s little chance that Schofield will get a shot at WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. He\u2019s been selective with the opposition he\u2019s faced during his career. With his hand speed and power, Schofield doesn\u2019t fit the mold of the fighters Tank Davis has typically fought as a pro.<\/p>\n
Of course, if Turki Alalshikh offers Tank an enormous purse to fight Schofield, that\u2019s different. That scenario seems unlikely, given there are more popular fighters who would make more appealing options for Turki to match Tank with. Shakur is one of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want all of them. For \u2018Kid\u2019 [Schofield Jr.] to be the greatest of all time, he\u2019s got to fight all the greats of this time. We want \u2018Tank,\u2019 because he\u2019s going to retire soon, and he\u2019s one of the greats. We want Shakur. We want Mason, but he\u2019s got some growing to do still,\u201d said Schofield Sr.<\/p>\n
\u2018Kid Austin\u2019 may have scared away \u201cThe Four Horsemen\u201d with his recent first-round knockout win over Tevin Farmer on June 28, 2025. After that performance, Schofield\u2019s chances of landing any of the four he wants may have gone downhill.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese other guys are about to leave. We wanted Devin. We\u2019ve been calling him since he was at 135.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s difficult to see any of the top names giving Schofield Jr. a chance take the torch from them. He\u2019s likely to be invisible to them, alongside talents like Andy Cruz and Ernesto Mercado.<\/p>\n
