In a conversation with Fight Hype, George Kambosos insists he’s fully focused on his upcoming bout against Vasiliy Lomachenko but fields some questions about Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and why he isn’t taking on the best fighters around his weight class. Here’s some of what Kambosos had to say on that subject down below.
Kambosos on who he’d most like to see Gervonta Davis fight
“I would love to see him fight Devin Haney, I would love to see that style matchup. I would love to see Tank step in there with Teofimo Lopez. I would love to see these kind of fights, and I think everybody’s always worried about the loss, the loss, and I think Tank is definitely one of them guys that doesn’t want to lose. I think a loss for him would totally diminish his mindset on what these guys try to do.
“No disrespect to Tank, hell of a fighter. But, again, it’s the public demand, it’s not me. The demand from the fans and the casual fans too — they’re starting to say ‘well, why is this guy not fighting, at 28, 29, why hasn’t he fought a guy like Devin Haney, why has he not fought a guy like Teofimo Lopez?’ Shakur as well. These are the kind of names that you want to see these elite fighters be matched up against.”
