Stevenson on whether a fight against Tank is the obvious one to make next

“Yeah, it’s the two best fighters in boxing. Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis is a hell of a fighter, I keep telling ya’ll he got great skills, but I’m better than him. I’m better than him at hit and don’t get hit and he can’t beat me.”

On Tank seemingly taunting him for not getting Padley out of there quickly when he was an overmatched late replacement opponent

“Once again, Tank’s style is a power puncher. He’s a guy that’s trying to knock you out. I’m a guy that’s trying to break you down, pick you apart, win, if the knockout comes, it comes. So two different styles, but I’m better than him at the art of boxing.”

On if he respects Tank

“I got respect for his game, I don’t got respect for the person. I think he’s a clown.”

On how a fight against Tank can be made

“Turki got all the money so put the biggest fight on. Let’s negotiate. I think both of us can make a lot of money and I’m ready to make it happen.”
