Davis Calls Out Haney, Stevenson, And Mayweather

Gervonta Davis has publicly challenged three fighters — one of whom is 49 years old, retired with a 50-0 record, and his former promoter.

"I'll take Floyd too. Tell 'em suit up," Davis

Their relationship soured, Davis split from the promotional outfit, and they have not been on the best of terms since. Whether a public callout posted to social media changes any of that is another question.

The Mayweather post was the latest in a sequence of moves Davis made throughout the day, each adding a new name to a list that was already getting crowded. Haney remains the most substantive conversation. Davis reportedly offered a 70-30 purse split to the former unified lightweight champion, a number that Bill Haney quickly dismissed in public. His reasoning was blunt: Haney's team had previously turned down "50/50 of nothing" from PBC, and they were not about to accept "70/30 of nothing" from Davis either.

Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) has not fought since March 2025, and the absence has done nothing to diminish his profile — he remains one of the most recognisable names in the sport, a legitimate draw with genuine knockout power across multiple weight classes. But Haney's camp clearly does not see the financial terms as reflecting that status, or at least not enough to make the deal worth doing on those terms.

The Shakur Stevenson dimension adds a different flavour. Stevenson, the unbeaten WBC lightweight champion, has been trading comments with Davis on social media for weeks now, and the back-and-forth has kept fan interest in that matchup alive. The fight would be significant — two undefeated champions at the same weight, both with something to prove about where they rank. It has not moved past social media theatre yet, but the conversation around it is louder than it was a month ago.

The Mayweather challenge is the one that realistically goes nowhere. He turns 50 this year, walked away from professional boxing with a record that closed every argument about his place in the sport's history, and has spent the years since doing exhibition bouts in front of large international audiences at enormous fees. There is no universe in which he takes a sanctioned professional fight against Davis. An exhibition is theoretically possible — Mayweather has shown he is willing to step into a ring against notable opponents for the right price — but even that would require a business relationship that currently does not exist.
