Keyshawn Davis wants to be world champion in 2025 and dethrone Gervonta Davis, while Cuban Andy Cruz is on the prowl.
Sometimes victory produces so much adrenaline that it clouds the senses. Occasionally it becomes a mental superpower that gives confidence, although it also distorts reality. It can be a leap towards greatness, but if you don’t have enough momentum you end up crashing into the wall. So far it is not known if that will happen to Keyshawn Daviswho asked the four winds to Gervonta Davis (WBA lightweight champion) for 2025, after knocking out the Argentine Gustavo Lemos in two rounds.
“The Businessman”, as Keyshawn is known, is still in the process of being built as a boxer. At 25 years old, with 12 wins and eight knockouts, his development looks promising. He combines cunning, speed, takes advantage of every space in the ring and when he has to press to release his hands he causes a lot of havoc to his opponents due to the speed and strength of his attacks. He is a true prospect of the division.
The problem with Davis was that in his home country of Norfolk, being praised by the public, he felt at the level of the best in the division and eighth in ESPN’s pound-for-pound rankings‘Tank’ Davis, who will receive the monarch Lamont Roach on December 14the same one who was the executioner of Ryan García‘Pitbull’ Cruz, Leo Santa Cruz, Yuriorkis Gamboa and Rolly Romero. Keyshawn has not yet shown that he is above any of the big names that ‘Tank’ has faced to at least aspire to have a real chance of victory. His challenge carried out in Virginia seems to have no echo, although if he succeeded he would expose himself to premature nudity.
Cuban Andy Cruz overshadows him
“4-0 as a professional. 4-0 against my son (Keyshawn Davis). Knock knock. Son, send me the copy of the contract. You’re saying you sent a contract to my team. Send the photo. “We all want to see it,” he said. Andy Cruz on Instagramreacting to Keyshawn Davis’ words that he doubts Cruz will sign a contract if he sends it to him.
“If I send you a contract, will you sign it? “I don’t know,” Davis told the YouTube channel Manouk Akopyan last week, talking about the Cuban. “That guy is not trying to fight me. I will knock him out. “It’s just not ready.”
And the 29-year-old Cuban, winner of an Olympic gold, three golds in World Championships and two in Pan American Games, has four victories over Davis in his amateur history and feels confident enough to cause him a fifth defeat in his personal tally. and first in professional boxing.
Could it happen? Cruz is ranked lightweight CMB in sixth place, while Davis third; in the OMB Cruz is 14th and Davis third; in the WITH Cruz is fourth and Davis is not in the top 15, while in the FIBDavis is third and Cruz sixth. The fight has all the ingredients to be attractive due to the rivalry between the two, but there is also the risk of precipitating a fight between two boxers with great projections, when it could be an even more anticipated confrontation if in the future both become world champions.
