JAKARTA Lightweight champion (61 kg) WBA, Gervonta Davis has proven his toughness after crushing his challenger, Frank Martin, in seven rounds at the MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, last Saturday (16/6).

The victory was Davis' fifth success since winning him almost five years ago. At that time Davis won the vacant title by winning TKO over Yuriorkis Gamboa from Cuba in round 12 in Atlanta, December 28, 2019.

It is interesting to pick up the opponent Davis will face next. The 29-year-old boxer nicknamed the Tank was unbeaten in 30 matches, 28 of which he won by KO or TKO.

The first name that deserves to be put forward is Shakur Stevenson. The silver winner for the US at the 2016 Rio Olympics is now the WBC lightweight champion. The Stevenson vs Davis duel will be exciting, because it is the unification of the title. Moreover, they have complained to each other, challenged each other on social media.

Can't wait to shock the world. Remember everything will say now! #ChasingGreatness

Then there is the name Teofimo Lopez. This Honduras-blooded US boxer is the junior welterweight champion (63 kg) WBO. So, Davis must advance to one class if he is willing to duel against Lopez.

Although he is often criticized as a money boxer, because he always demands very expensive pay for the grand match, Lopez is the opponent who deserves Davis.

The next name worth mentioning is Vasiliy Lomachenko. If successfully competed, the Davis vs Lomachenko duel would be very attractive. Both always display attractive performance. The boxer from Ukraine is currently the lightweight champion of the IBF.

One shortcoming in Lomachenko is his age which is starting to age, 36 years. But technically, these two Olympic gold winners deserve to be categorized as Masters.

William Zepeda is the last name to be worthy of a duel against Davis. This Mexican boxer has a record as Davis, 30 duels without losing 26 KO/TKO wins.

Zepeda's name is currently on the rise thanks to the explosive performance in the ring. One shortfall that Zepeda has, he hasn't become world champion yet.
