Shakur Stevenson warns Gervonta Davis before the clash of Lamont Roach
Shakur Stevenson believes that the clash of Gervonta Davis from Lamont Roach is not an exaggerated conclusion.
Davis defends his airy title of the WBA world against Roach in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on March 1, live on Amazon Prime Pay-view.
“Tank”, which is invincible in 30 professional duels, is a gigantic favorite with bookmakers to keep the belt against “Reaper”which moves from 130 pounds, where he holds the WBA crown.
However, Stevenson insists that Roach, who lost once in his professional career from Jamel Herring and won six at the reflection, from that time will be a much better fight than many expect.
“I don’t think it will be an effortless night for a tank,” said Stevenson Notjustboxing.
“Lamont will be ready to fight.
“I want to win. He does not come for the location.
“I see that this is a very arduous night for the tank.

“I have known Lamont for a long time.
“He has been in this game for a long time and is waiting for this opportunity.
“A long time ago I paired him and he gave me a really good job.
“After I helped him to assist me fight Oscar Valdez, he in a sense helped me at the end of my camp.
“He is a good warrior.”
The 27-year-old is looking for a clash with Davis himself, but for the first time he defends his airy Crown WBC before Floyd Schofield in Riyjad on Saturday at Undercard of the Rematch between Artur Beterbiev AND Dmitriry Bivol.
30-year-old Davis said that at the end of the year he would retire from boxing, but Stevenson is convinced that the long-awaited clash of union between the couple will take place.
“It will happen,” added Newark Man.
“Tank said I was on his list.
“I hope that he stands on his words and will make the fight happen.”
On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
