With another big win under his belt, many are wondering what is next for “Tank” Davis. A potential clash with IBF lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko would make sense given that Davis currently holds the WBA gold. One can’t rule out the possibility of Davis moving up to 140 pounds as well.
Whatever Davis decides to do next, there will be plenty of eyeballs on the undefeated star. Some believe he is the best lightweight in boxing today, and are hoping he gets the chance to prove it by going after undisputed gold. If he were to beat the likes of Lomachenko, Devin Haney, and Shakur Stevenson, he would leave no doubt.
