By Dan Ambrose: Devin Haney says Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis can fight him at any time using his Mickey Mouse belt to become mandatory for his WBA title.
Tank holds the WBA secondary belt, while Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) holds the more prestigious ‘Super World’ belt with the World Boxing Association.
Haney would like to fight Tank after he takes care of his load of dealing with George Kambosos Jr for the second time in their rematch on October 16.
With Gervonta (27-0, 25 KOs), his management at Mayweather Promotions picks his opponents, and they tend to play it safe with him, possibly giving him tricks.
It would be great for Tank’s career if Mayweather Promotions took a chance by pairing him with Haney for a chance at becoming the undisputed 135-pound champion.
“The fight has been building up for years. If he wants to fight, he can fight because he is the fake WBA champion. He has the Mickey Mouse belt,” Devin Haney told ThaBoxingvoice about Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
If Tank’s management doesn’t fight Haney soon, they may miss out on capturing all four belts before he vacates them and goes up to 140. It could be years before Tank gets another chance to win all four belts at once. time. light, and he might regret it if he doesn’t face Haney now.
“If you want to become my agent, all you have to do is go to [WBA president] Gilbert [Mendoza]. ‘Hey, we want this fight to happen.’ and he can become the mandatory whenever he wants,” Haney continued of Tank Davis.
“It all starts with George [Kambosos Jr] and how that develops. Obviously, if it makes sense, that’s a much bigger fight and the fight we’re really focused on.
“Right now, George is the guy, and we can’t look past him. As I’ve been saying, he says everything except ‘Let’s fight’. He always seems to say the most outrageous shit you could say besides fighting.
“He would do anything but say he wants to fight. I say what I say about it, but we can make the fight happen if he wants the fight to happen,” Haney said of Gervonta.
