Zuffa Boxing\u2019s Shakur Stevenson deal could lead to talks with
\nGervonta Davis<\/h2>\n

White admitted that he has spoken to Davis and he\u2019s definitely
\ninterested in working together in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know [about booking Tank vs. Shakur],\u201d White said. \u201cI do
\nlove Tank Davis. I\u2019m actually a fan and we\u2019ve talked to them. I
\ndon\u2019t want to speak for him or whatever, but I have talked to him
\nand I\u2019m a fan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stevenson recently signed a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing,
\nimmediately fueling speculation about potential marquee matchups
\nunder the promotion’s banner. A clash with Davis has long been
\nregarded as one of boxing\u2019s biggest fights.<\/p>\n

Davis has not competed since fighting Lamont Roach Jr. to a
\ncontroversial draw in March 2025. A proposed bout against Jake Paul<\/a> was
\nlater scrapped amid legal issues, though accusations of domestic
\nviolence against \u201cTank\u201d were ultimately dropped.<\/p>\n

While White did not confirm any agreement with Davis, he reiterated
\nthat Zuffa Boxing\u2019s goal remains to make the biggest fights
\navailable.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can make these fights and we can only hope,\u201d White said. \u201cWe
\nknew tonight\u2019s main event was going to be good, but you don\u2019t know
\nuntil it plays out. I\u2019m looking to make all the big fights that are
\nout there.\u201d<\/p>\n
