Zuffa Boxing’s Shakur Stevenson deal could lead to talks with Gervonta Davis
White admitted that he has spoken to Davis and he’s definitely interested in working together in the future.
“I don’t know [about booking Tank vs. Shakur],” White said. “I do love Tank Davis. I’m actually a fan and we’ve talked to them. I don’t want to speak for him or whatever, but I have talked to him and I’m a fan.”
Stevenson recently signed a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing, immediately fueling speculation about potential marquee matchups under the promotion’s banner. A clash with Davis has long been regarded as one of boxing’s biggest fights.
Davis has not competed since fighting Lamont Roach Jr. to a controversial draw in March 2025. A proposed bout against Jake Paul was later scrapped amid legal issues, though accusations of domestic violence against “Tank” were ultimately dropped.
While White did not confirm any agreement with Davis, he reiterated that Zuffa Boxing’s goal remains to make the biggest fights available.
“You can make these fights and we can only hope,” White said. “We knew tonight’s main event was going to be good, but you don’t know until it plays out. I’m looking to make all the big fights that are out there.”
