Sean O’Malley Picks Tank Davis As Future Boxing Opponent: “I can beat Gervonta Davis”

UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has called for a future fight with boxing superstar Gervonta Davis.

Sean O’Malley

As we know, Sean O’Malley is slowly but surely becoming a megastar in mixed martial arts. He isn’t on the same level as Conor McGregor, but he’s really starting to become a mainstream name.

This weekend, he’ll defend his belt against Merab Dvalishvili. However, it seems as if a part of him is already looking ahead to the possibility of a venture into professional boxing.

He’s spoken about it before, and he’s had a notable rivalry with Ryan Garcia. In addition, he’s also got some of the best striking in the UFC, so that certainly helps his case.

In a recent interview, ‘Suga’ declared that a collision with Gervonta Davis could be on the cards one day.

Sean O’Malley wants Gervonta Davis

“People hate when I bring up boxing. I don’t know if I’m there yet and I’m okay with that. If I need to go out and knock out 2-3 more guys to get a boxing fight, I’m okay with that. I’ll keep doing what I do. I wouldn’t mind Gervonta Davis. He’s so little. I like the matchup and we’re the same weight class. That’d be the one if I could pick.

“I believe I can beat Gervonta Davis. I’m a fan of his skillset. He’s very dangerous and I’m not denying that. I’m chasing greatness and I believe I can transfer over to boxing. Give me six months, give me a legitimate boxing camp… I’m very dangerous with both hands… I believe I can get the job done.”
