Gervonta Davis has his eyes firmly set on fighting the best boxers in the world.

'Tank' recently signed a lucrative 6-7 fight deal with PBC and has reeled off six fights he'd like to have under Al Haymon's promotional banner.

The two standout champions he mentioned were Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson.

According to Marca, a lightweight unification fight between WBC champion Stevenson and WBA titlist Davis has been included as part of the latter's new deal.

Meanwhile, Davis was in negotiations to face WBO super-lightweight champion Lopez last year, however, discussions subsequently collapsed.

Davis then admitted he would give Isaac Cruz and Ryan Garcia rematches if the money was right.

The three-weight world champion beat Cruz on points in 2021 and stopped Garcia inside the distance last year.

But both have since gone on to record career-best wins (Garcia vs Devin Haney and Cruz vs Rolly Romero).

Haney's name was also brought up despite Davis distancing himself from that fight after 'The Dream's' loss to Garcia in April.

And then finally, he made mention of Floyd Mayweather, who he has recently been embroiled in bitter feud with.

Davis spent a large portion of his career fighting under Mayweather Promotions.

But in late 2022, he left Money Team after his fight with Rolly Romero, opting to go his own way under the guidance of existing adviser Al Haymon.

The split seemed to be amicable at first but cracks began to show later down the line.

Ahead of Davis' last outing against Garcia in April 2023, he accused Mayweather of stopping him from training at the Mayweather gym.

Yet they appeared to be on good terms by fight night as Mayweather was seen celebrating with his former protégé in the ring after his seventh-round stoppage win.

Since then the pair have begun trading verbal jabs on social media with Davis recently threatening to knock out Mayweather the next time he sees him.

"Now I f*** around and knock Floyd out when I see em and I'll care about going back to jail," Davis wrote on X in reference to the 90-day jail sentence he received after violating the terms of his home detention for a hit-and-run crash in November 2020.

"He such a b**** he don't allow his security carry guns..."

Despite the obvious distain Davis has for Mayweather he was under no illusion that a fight against his former mentor would be challenging.

Asked which of the aforementioned fighters would give him the toughest test, Davis replied: "Floyd Mayweather. I don't even know [about the others]. I can't even say until I get in there with them but all of them can get it."
