Gervonta Davis is considered to be one of the best lightweight fighters

Davis versus Haney is the fight most want to see next. Devin Haney travelled to Australia to beat George Kambosos Jr. to become the Undisputed Lightweight Champion of the world. Whilst Haney won the championships fairly in the ring, there is still some debate as to who the best fighter in the division is. Watch Davis call out other fighters at lightweight: George Kambosos Jr. beat an injured Teofimo Lopez to become the undisputed champion at lightweight. After the fight, it was revealed that Lopez was battling an injury, with one doctor claiming that Lopez was lucky he was not dead. Whilst it was a great win on paper, Kambosos Jr. was not considered the best fighter in the division. As such, Haney entered the bout with Kambosos Jr. as the favorite. Haney and Davis are considered the two best fighters in the division, so a bout between the pair would be ideal next. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
