Shakur wants to call Tank: desperate for the fight with Davis

Shakur Stevenson says he would like to talk to Gervonta Davis on the phone to try to convince him to fight him without the promoters being involved.

Tank might think it’s creepy if Shakur calls him. He could see it as stalker behavior and get even more discouraged and change your phone number.

Tank Disdain

Stevenson likes to try to set up a fight like Terence Crawford did with Errol Spence in 2023. However, Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) doesn’t think Gervonta will accept that idea because he has “some shit against me. “

The truth is that Tank doesn’t like racers and Shakur doesn’t belong in this era. His dated and archaic Mayweather style is from a bygone era.

It could be that Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) is discouraged by Shakur’s desperate obsession with him, mentioning his name in interviews, chasing influence to promote his fights and being a fighter who does not entertain. Davis would be the draw in a fight between them, and Shakur would be there as cardboard support.

If Shakur could build his own name by beating quality fighters and staying in the pocket to trade instead of running, he wouldn’t need to beg Gervonta for a fight. Being booed in repeated fights for being boring makes Shakur one of the lowest strata of the breed in boxing terms. He is not worthy of being in the presence of King Tank.

Necessary change for Shakur

– Stay in your pocket
– Stop running
– Take risks
– Face better opposition

“I said, ‘Let’s fight.’ What else do you want me to do? Shakur Stevenson said to Shawn Porter. YouTube channel about asking Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis for a fight. “When I went and did that with Devin, I was chasing clout. Now, I go and do the same kind of thing with Tank, and they’ll say, ‘He’s chasing clout.’ He’s jealous.

“We are in a new generation. These people today have all these narratives. I said, ‘Let’s fight.’ I said, ‘Send the contract and we’ll get it done.’ I’m not a delusional (person). I don’t go out and say anything.

“I’m not going to act like I’m the A side and deserve 50-50 (for the Tank fight). Brother, let’s negotiate and see where it takes us from there. “I know I’m the B-side, but let’s fight,” Shakur said.

The king and the shortcut

Stevenson sounds obtuse, thinking that all he has to do is say, “Let’s fight” to fight Gervonta. That’s not how it’s done. He has to fight better opponents, stop running, look good and avoid fans booing him 24/7. If all the contenders had to do is say “let’s fight” for a chance to meet the King, everyone would do it. Things are not like that.

If Shakur wants to take a shortcut to fight Gervonta, he needs to do something brave, like in the days of the Knights and King Arthur. He should go up to 154 and beat Bakhram Murtazaliev or Vergil Ortiz Jr. If Stevenson does that, his popularity would skyrocket and he would have no problem fighting Tank.

“I think so,” Shakur said, reacting to being told that he and Gervonta are the two biggest names and it’s the biggest fight. “Besides Terence and Canelo, besides that, Tank and I are the most important fight. It doesn’t depend on me. I am not side A. I accept that I am side B.

“That’s how it was with Terence and Errol,” Stevenson said of Terence Crawford and Errol Spence speaking on the phone one on one, without the promoters, to agree to fight. “That was a great way. I’d be okay with that, but the guy (Tank Davis) has some things against me.

“Something about me. I would be willing to do that. Negotiate, talk, sit together. I would be willing to do that. That wouldn’t happen though. I’m open to it. It would never happen. It wouldn’t happen because of him,” Shakur said about Gervonta not wanting to talk to him.

“Yeah, sure,” Shakur said when asked if he wanted the fight with Tank “A million percent.” “Me and Tank, that’s the focus. That is the most important fight in boxing. That’s the fight I’ll get paid a lot for. He paid him a lot. He’s going to win more with me than anyone else. My focus is Tank. Tank and I had to fight,” Shakur said when asked if he would be interested in fighting his good friend, Keyshawn Davis.
