Gervonta Davis Eyes Fast Track to Title Showdown with O’Shaquie Foster
Gervonta Davis is on the brink of a potential title shot, contingent on his legal issues and a return to the ring this year. O’Shaquie Foster has expressed eagerness to face him for the WBC super featherweight title.
Gervonta Davis has been presented with a new opportunity to reclaim a world title after a lengthy absence from the ring due to legal troubles. Following a controversial draw against Lamont Roach in March 2025, Davis was stripped of his WBA lightweight title and designated as champion in recess.
Reports indicate that the 31-year-old could return to action in 2026, but a recent probation violation may complicate matters. Should he return, Davis is mandated to face the WBA’s number one contender, Floyd Schofield. However, another champion, O’Shaquie Foster, has stepped forward, expressing his desire to fight Davis.
Foster, who successfully defended his WBC super featherweight title against Ray Ford via majority decision, stated, “I would love that fight. I would take that fight in a heartbeat for sure.” Although Davis hasn't fought at super featherweight since his knockout victory over Leo Santa Cruz in October 2020, he has previously indicated confidence in dropping back to 130lbs.
If Davis can make the weight, he could fast-track himself to a WBC title shot. Foster, meanwhile, is open to facing any contender, mentioning potential matchups with Shakur Stevenson and others, indicating a willingness to keep pushing for top-tier fights.
