Shakur Stevenson Rejects Crawford’s Proposal to Feature Tank Davis on Undercard

One of boxing’s most anticipated fights of the year is the Riyadh Season showdown between Canelo Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) and Terence Crawford in September.

Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), the WBA champion at 154 pounds, will move up two weight classes to challenge Alvarez, who could reclaim his undisputed super middleweight status by then if he defeats William Scull in the DAZN PPV main event on May 3.

Crawford, 37, has expressed interest in having a major fight as the co-main event, specifically the long-awaited lightweight title unification bout between WBC champion Shakur Stevenson and WBA titlist Gervonta Davis. He proposed that the Davis-Stevenson clash be featured on the undercard.

Gervonta Davis, one of the biggest pay-per-view stars in boxing history, fighting on an undercard sounds utterly ridiculous! Coming from Terence Crawford, the comment seemed like a jab at Tank. Even though Davis agreeing to such a fight is highly unlikely, the event would generate massive revenue, featuring two of this era’s biggest stars—Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta Davis.

Shakur Stevenson took to social media to reject Terence Crawford’s proposal, stating that he considers his potential clash with WBA champion Davis to be “the biggest in the sport” and believes the pay-per-view numbers would be “out of this world.”

However, Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) has never headlined a pay-per-view event, and questions remain about his marketability as the B-side opponent in a unification fight against Tank, who is widely regarded as the "Face of Boxing."

“Love you, big brother, but nah. I think me and cuz [Gervonta Davis] fight is the biggest [one] in the sport. The PPV numbers are going to be out of this world. Watch what I say!!” said Shakur Stevenson on X.
