Dana White Says He Has Spoken With Gervonta Davis as Zuffa Hunts Big Fights

Such talks could pave the way for a Stevenson–Davis showdown that would drive major pay‑per‑view interest.

Overview

  • White told reporters Monday that he has spoken with Gervonta “Tank” Davis and that Zuffa Boxing is interested in working with him.
  • White did not announce any contract or formal signing and said no matchup has been set, leaving Davis’s status unresolved.
  • Zuffa recently signed Shakur Stevenson to a multi‑fight deal, a move that has prompted speculation about a possible Stevenson–Davis bout.
  • Davis has not fought since a March 2025 draw with Lamont Roach Jr., and recent legal and probation questions plus reports that he may not be ready before Q1 2027 complicate any near‑term return.
  • If Davis joins Zuffa it could create a marquee pay‑per‑view event and shift promotional leverage in boxing, but Zuffa may need alternate opponents for Stevenson if Davis remains unavailable.
