Multi-division world champion Terence Crawford has stirred excitement in the boxing world after expressing his enthusiasm for a potential lightweight unification bout between Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson — as the co-main event to his highly anticipated clash with Canelo Alvarez during Riyadh Season this September.

In an interview, Crawford described the idea as “dope” and suggested that such a blockbuster night would be a historic moment in boxing.

He stated:

“Imagine Davis vs. Shakur on the same card… right before I fight Canelo. That’s something huge — a night fans won’t forget.”

While fans around the world await the official confirmation of the Crawford vs. Canelo fight — already projected as one of the biggest boxing events of 2025 — the possibility of including a Davis-Stevenson showdown would elevate the card to an iconic level.

With Saudi Arabia continuing to cement its status as a global hub for elite sporting events, Riyadh Season 2025 could very well deliver one of the most unforgettable nights in modern boxing history.
