Adrien Broner<\/a> has made a bold claim on a possible match-up between Gervonta Davis<\/a> and Naoya Inoue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans have often debated how a clash between Davis and Inoue may play out, despite the two now destined to spend the rest of their careers too far apart in weight for the fight to ever become realistic.<\/p>\n

Davis hasn\u2019t competed since his controversial majority decision draw with Lamont Roach in March 2025, and despite rumours of an impending return, it has since been claimed by Bill Haney that he has been told \u2018Tank\u2019 won\u2019t be ready until the first quarter of 2027.<\/a><\/p>\n

In previous years, Davis was regarded as one of the most exciting fighters in the sport, claiming knockout wins over the likes of Ryan Garcia, Rolly Romero, Mario Barrios and Leo Santa Cruz as he claimed world honours in three divisions.<\/p>\n

As for Inoue, he was last in action in May when he retained his undisputed super bantamweight crown with a win over Junto Nakatani,<\/a> and could be set for another super fight in the near future against Jesse \u2018Bam\u2019 Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

If a bout against Davis was to happen though, perhaps at a middle ground of featherweight, four-division world champion Broner is confident who would come out on top, telling FightHype<\/a> that \u2018Tank\u2019 would earn a quick knockout victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cInoue ain\u2019t going to win. Tank knock him the f**k out. Fast too. I ain\u2019t being biased or nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inoue has made it clear that he plans to have one or two more fights at bantamweight before moving up to super-bantamweight as his final division before retirement. Davis, on the other hand, has been linked with fights as high as welterweight upon his return.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adrien Broner has made a bold claim on a possible match-up between Gervonta Davis and Naoya Inoue.
