Rising star Keyshawn Davis is oozing confidence. Chatting with Sky Sports activities News the 11-0 Virginian was requested if he’s ready to face prime names Gervonta “Tank” Davis, and Vasyl Lomachenko. “I feel the query,” Davis mentioned, “is are they prepared for me?” Tank Davis? Lomachenko? Is the 27 12 months previous Davis severe? “If they’re able to battle me,” mentioned Davis, “in the event that they’re keen to battle me I’ll enroll. They will ship me a contract and I’ll signal it.”
Nonetheless, the up and coming light-weight, who is called “The Businessman,” isn’t overly choosy when involves battling for a title belt. “It doesn’t matter,” he mentioned. “A belt is a belt.” Davis is clearly not involved in overthinking the scenario. “The Businessman goes to become who he’s going to be,” Davis mentioned. “I don’t want a particular identify for me to develop into who I must be.” To Davis, it’s the belt, not the opponent, that’s of major significance. “All I would like,” he mentioned, “is a world title and we’re going to take it to the following degree after that.”
In the meanwhile, Davis is concentrated on the 29-1 Gustavo Daniel Lemos, who he’ll be dealing with in a scheduled 10 spherical rematch this Friday. Davis, who can be dealing with Lemos in his native Virginia, has constructive issues to say about this weekend’s opponent. “He’s accepted the battle,” Davis mentioned of Lemos. “He’s coming to my hometown to battle me, that simply speaks to his confidence, that he actually believes he can simply beat me anyplace.”
Such confidence can result in entertaining fights, and Davis needs to entertain his native supporters on Friday night time. “That’s going to be an amazing battle,” he mentioned, “with the matchup, his (Lemos’) mentality, my mentality. However simply figuring out what I’m able to, ‘The Businessman’ is simply going to deal with enterprise that night time.”
Regardless that he’s reportedly not involved in taking over his good friend Shakur Stevenson, Davis feels he’s the highest light-weight on the earth. “I’m the most effective 135-pounder out proper now, and every battle I’m simply going to maintain proving that,” he mentioned. Davis has an opportunity to show himself as soon as once more Friday night time. Little doubt the person can be trying to impress. Maybe the truth that Lemos got here in obese at Thursday’s weigh in means it will likely be harder for Davis to look spectacular than he at first thought.
Then once more…
