‘Child Austin’ Schofield fired again at Tank, telling him, “You could be subsequent.”
Schofield is the subsequent highest-ranked fighter for Tank Davis’ WBA belt, supplied he doesn’t vacate it, and it will be an fascinating battle for the followers in comparison with his present scheduled match in opposition to the tremendous featherweight Lamont Roach Jr. That man has zero energy and is a defensive wizard.
Tank has disenchanted followers along with his selection of opponents within the final six years since 2018, and Schofield could be a welcome enchancment. A battle between Tank Davis and Schofield could be extra entertaining for followers than a match between the Baltimore native and Shakur Stevenson.
The WBA light-weight champion, Tank Davis, mentioned Schofield “18-0, 12 KOs) was getting his bottom beat Giron (20-4, 13 KOs) of their battle at The Theater at Virgin Motels Las Vegas.

When Schofield returned to his nook after the spherical ended, he missed the stool when sitting down and fell on the canvas. Later within the battle, Schofield was knocked down in spherical eleven when he was caught by a left hand from Giron when making an attempt to hit him with a giant proper.

Schofield’s was one of many extra drama-filled. That’s his type of combating, which was much more entertaining to look at than the headliner on the High Rank card proven on ESPN final Saturday evening. That was a painfully boring battle, identical to the earlier encounter.
Tank Davis has a title protection in opposition to Lamont Roach arising on a still-to-be-determined date in January. However as soon as that battle is out of the best way, it may clear the best way for Schofield to problem Tank for his WBA title in mid-2025.
