In the exciting world of boxing, speculation and expectations are constant. At Alofoke Deportes, we break down the latest news, separating reality from fiction. We analyze the statements of the most prominent boxers and bring you the most relevant information.
Will Gervonta Davis hang up his gloves after the fight against Jake Paul?
Gervonta “Tank” Davis, one of the most talented boxers today, has hinted at the possibility of retiring. Will this be the end for Davis after his match with Jake Paul?The answer, according to Alofoke Deportes’ analyses, is no. Davis seems to be more interested in financial gains than in sporting legacy. The boxer has made it clear that he fights for economic reasons, and competing for a legacy is not his main motivation.
“After next year, I’m leaving this… the sport,”
Gervonta Davis
Davis could retire after his fight with Jake Paul, taking advantage of the large sum of money he will receive. This could mean that we will not see fights against figures like Stevenson, Haney or Lopez in the near future. A fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2026 could be attractive enough for Davis, but for now, it seems difficult for Davis to stay motivated to keep fighting after facing Paul.
Teofimo López Jr. vs. Shakur Stevenson: The Next Big Fight?
The answer is yes. Although a fight between López and Haney did not materialize, López has proven his worth by facing big names like Lomachenko and Taylor. Stevenson, for his part, is eager for a big fight.
Boxers apparently agreed to the fight during the post-fight press conference Canelo-Crawford. López has confirmed his intention to fight Stevenson in early 2026. The winner will not only move up in the rankings, but could also become a major box office draw.
Is Terence Crawford looking for a title at 160 pounds?
The possibility is “real”. After his victory over Canelo Álvarez, Crawford could seek a new challenge. Although there has been speculation about fights against Benavidez or Bivol, Crawford could explore the middleweight division.
Crawford could pursue a world title in a sixth division, although the current champions are not very well-known names. Given the time Crawford takes between fights, a more attractive option may arise, or a middleweight champion may become undisputed. However, Crawford, who recently turned 38, could be nearing the end of his career.
Lamont Roach Jr. vs. Isaac Cruz: The Next Fight?
The answer is yes. Roach and his team are looking for a fight that capitalizes on the momentum gained after the draw with Davis. Although a fight with Gabriel Flores was considered, sources indicate that Roach could face Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz.
The fight is expected to take place before the end of the year, possibly in December. This matchup would be ideal for Roach, as facing a former Davis rival would give him recognition and could offer an exciting fight.
Brian Norman Jr. vs. Devin Haney: KO Guaranteed?
The answer is no. Although Norman has knockout power, Haney is superior to any opponent Norman has faced. Haney is a technically sound boxer with a precise jab and solid defense. A strategic fight is expected, and the judges are likely to decide the outcome.
