Keyshawn Davis says he needs to combat WBA light-weight champion Gervonta Davis in a unification combat subsequent after he “knocks out” WBO 135-lb champion Denys Berinchyk within the first spherical this Friday evening, February 14th, at Madison Sq. Backyard Theater in New York.
Davis (12-0, 8 KOs) doubts that Tank will combat him as a result of he feels he lacks the braveness to face him. Keyshawn says if he received’t combat him, he needs to defend the WBO belt that he captures from Berinchyk towards Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz subsequent. Referring to himself as ‘The Businessman, Davis states {that a} conflict between him and Pitbull could be big and make each of them some huge cash.
When requested if he’d be serious about combating Andy Cruz, a fighter who beat him 4 occasions within the amateurs, Keyshawn mentioned he has no curiosity as a result of he lacks a fan base and is “two notches” beneath him.
Star Standing?
Listening to Keyshawn speak, what is sort of clear is he’s extremely narcissistic, bordering on being delusional. His prediction of a first-round knockout of Berinchyk sounds wacky. Keyshawn says he’s a “star” in his tradition, which is totally not true. He’s not a star. He’s an unproven prospect with 12 fights who appeared beneath common in fights towards Miguel Madueno and Nahir Albright. Keyshawn refuses to combat Andy Cruz, and followers view him as afraid. He’s seen as a hype job that High Rank is manufacturing, as they did with Edgar Berlanga when he was with the corporate.
“After I knock Berinchyk out in the first round, I would love to fight the ‘face of boxing’ in the 135-lb division. I would love to fight ‘light skin’ [Gervonta Davis]. You know who it is,” mentioned Keyshawn Davis to Combat Hub TV about desirous to face Gervonta Davis subsequent if he’s victorious towards WBO light-weight champion Denys Berinchyk this Friday evening.
“I simply don’t assume he’s [Tank Davis] received the balls to combat me. Our characters matchup. He is aware of I’m not going for none of that s*** inside and outdoors the ring. Individuals know me by now identical to they know him. So, I actually don’t assume he has the balls to ship me a contract to combat me.
“Tank, I don’t care if he gets in the ring or not. I’m creating my own lane as ‘The Businessman,” mentioned Keyshawn. “I was 11-0, fighting in my hometown [Norfolk, Virginia]. I did a million gate. That’s just the first time fighting in my crib…People know me. That didn’t come from fighting big names. That just came from me performing and people liking what I come with. So, f*** Tank. I don’t need Tank, bro. I would love to fight him, but I’m not out here pushing for no Tank fight. He’s so unpredictable.”
Tank doubtless received’t waste time with Keyshawn as a result of he can see what he’s all about: a fastidiously maneuvered fighter who’s simply trying to get a payday that he doesn’t deserve. There’s a complete bunch of contenders within the light-weight division that wish to face Tank Davis for the life-changing cash they’ll get combating him, and Keyshawn is simply one other one of many many. The distinction with Keyshawn is that he’s being pushed arduous by High Rank, fastidiously moved like a chess piece on a chessboard. He’s not going to be matched towards anybody that may beat him, like Andy Cruz, till he will get that cash-out combat towards somebody. If not Tank, little 5’4″ Pitbull Cruz will probably be enticed to combat him.
Tank Diss
“I don’t know what light skin is going to do. I’m out here doing what I need to do for my family and for myself,” mentioned Keyshawn about Gervonta Davis. “No, I don’t,” mentioned Keyshawn when requested if he “likes” Gervonta Davis. “He has a feminine way. His character is so left-field that I don’t f*** with him at all. It’s the same thing with light skin. I’m just waiting for him to send me a contract.”
As you possibly can see right here, Keyshawn is deliberately attempting to anger Gervonta to make him wish to combat him. It’s so clear what he’s doing, and it’s not going to work. If Keyshawn needs that combat, he’s going to should earn it by working the gauntlet towards these six:
Andy Cruz
Raymond Muratalla
Ernesto Mercado
William Zepeda
Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenuzela
Richardson Hitchins
“I feel like with me and him, it’s easier because everyone knows who the A-side is. I feel like it’s an easy fight to make. It’s easy to promoting it. Davis vs Davis. Which Davis do you got. It’s just up to him growing balls to fight me. Yes, for sure. Those opponents would say the same thing,” mentioned Keyshawn when informed that he could be probably the most proficient Tank may have confronted in his profession.
“They know me. Lamont Roach is aware of me. I f*** with Ryan Garcia. They know me because the amateurs. I used to be that child that was inflicting havoc. It’s no massive deal that I’m at this level proper now.
Pitbull Pursuit
“If I can’t get that fight, if he doesn’t send me a contract, I would love to fight Isaac Cruz. I feel that’s something fans would go crazy over for real,” mentioned Keyshawn about desirous to combat former WBA mild welterweight champion ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, who has appeared common in his final two fights, shedding to Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela and barely beating Angel Fierro.
“Keyshawn Davis vs. Isaac Cruz, I really feel that’s a Las Vegas combat. We’re not combating in no theater. We’re combating in an enviornment. Everyone will present up for that combat. So, I really feel me defending my [WBO lightweight] world title even when now we have to do a catchweight [making it light welterweight contender with no title].
“He’s going to get paid, I’m going to get paid. So, it don’t got to be too much about the belt. People want to get paid. We’re both getting paid; we’re fighting in Vegas. That’s a fight that is going to build both of our careers up. I think it makes a lot of sense. I can’t give you too much,” mentioned Keyshawn when requested how his combat with Pitbull Cruz would go. “I received to focus on Berinchyk. I’d like to combat him after I cease Berinchyk within the first spherical.
“He’s [Cruz] a star in his tradition. I’m a star in my tradition, and I’m going to be extra of a star after I knock Berinchyk out within the first spherical. So, I feel that combat makes loads of sense for positive.
