Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis are each searching for opponents ahead of their respective ring returns, but there is one active world champion whom Tim Bradley believes both men will be keen to avoid.

‘Tank’ Davis is winless since June 2024, with his most recent outing being a March 2025 draw against Lamont Roach Jr.

The Baltimore-based brute looks poised to return to action in early 2027, with fans eagerly awaiting news on whether the WBA champion-in-recess will seek to reclaim his WBA lightweight world title or venture up to super-lightweight.

Meanwhile, Stevenson has recently left Zuffa Boxing, frustrated at the fact that Dana White’s promotion have not found him an opponent in the near four-month spell since announcing him as their marquee signing.

Stevenson has been linked to names such as Devin Haney and Gary Antuanne Russell in recent months, but the four-division world champion chose not to pursuit a showdown with O’Shaquie Foster, despite stating that he would face Foster if he overcame Ray Ford – which he did back in May.

With Stevenson no longer an option, Foster moved on to a three-belt unification with Emanuel Navarrete and scored a dominant win over the Mexican to add the WBO and IBF super-featherweight titles to his WBC crown on Saturday.

On his YouTube channel, two-division world champion Bradley praised Foster’s performance and stated his belief that Stevenson and Davis will steer clear of a potential scrap with the 33-year-old.

“There’s not a lot of guys out there that has the skill set that O’Shaquie Foster has. I told you he’s something like a Crawford. Yeah, he’s a chameleon. He can adapt to anything inside the ring.

“Now you see why Shakur Stevenson didn’t want no action. Now you see why. That’s why. Yeah, Tank Davis, you ain’t going to want none either.”

Foster’s display has thrust him into the Fighter of the Year conversation, with the Texan now just one more win away from becoming the first undisputed 130lb champion since 1969.
