Bob Arum Anoints Keyshawn Davis As Vasily Lomachenko’s “Next Successor” Following Retirement

Promoter Bob Arum Says Keyshawn Davis is the “Next Successor” to replace Vasily Lomachenko for His Top Rank Company Following Teday’s withdrawal of Loma. Arum Feels that Keyshawn (13-0, 9 Kos) is the right man to fill the void left by the training three-division world champion Lomachenko.

Arum Names Loma’s Successor

Fans would disagree with keyshawn being the one to take over for lomachenko, but you can’t black for Wanting Him to. He’s Poured a Lot of Money Into Davis’ Career, and He Wants Him to Be A Star. However, promoters can’t force the public to like to fighter if he’s not beating elite-learl opposition.

It worked for arum in turning tyson fury into a star, and he only has notable wins on his resume: fading 39-year-cold wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. It’s more difficulty to turn a fighter into a mega-star at 135, 140, and 147 because they have to fight good opposition. They can face were washed-up old guys who are paper champions, like we saw with fury.

Davis vs. Lomachenko Comparison

UNFORTUNATELY, KEYSHAWN’s CREDENTIALS ARE NOWHERE NEAR AS Spectacular as Loma’s. Davis Was Beaten by Cuba’s Andy Cruz in the 2020 Olympics and Had to Settle for a Silver Medal. Lomachenko captured Two Gold Medals in the Olympics for Ukraine, and could have won a third and fourth if he had decided to stay in the amateurs.

As a Professional, Vasily Captured World Titles in Three Weight Classes. For Keyshawn to Equal That, He Would Need to Move Up to 140 and 147 to Win Belts. With the right kind of matchmaking, davis can capture a second world title at 140, but it not go to win any titles at 147 as long as jaron ‘boots’ ennis and brian norman jr. are still around.

“One of My Fighters, Vasily Lomachenko, withdraws Today, and the Next Successor for Him is Keyshawn. So, i’m going to be look forward to the next couple of years,” Said promoter bob arum to Fighter. “That’s fine. Words don Upset me,” Said Arum about the back-and-kerfth between keyshawn and abdullah mason on internship.

“AS Long AS They Keep Their Hands To Themselves, They can say Whatever they want about Each Other Becuse if it’s 3 Years, 2 Years, or 1 Year, They’re Going to End Up Eventually Fighting Each Other. Abdullah Hasn Had Nearly The Experience Keyshawn has.
