Gervonta Davis has warned rising star Campbell Hatton he would be "eating through a straw" if the pair crossed paths.
British star Hatton is looking to follow in the footsteps of his famous father Ricky who reigned as a world champion and is one of the most popular fighters in British boxing history. The 21-year-old returned to the ring for his ninth professional fight at the weekend and scored a quick-fire KO victory over Denis Bartos, with a booming left hook to the body ending the contest in the opening round.
Hatton is competing in a stacked lightweight division, which could see him thrust into some big fights in the future if he reaches world level. This could include the likes of Ryan Garcia, Vasyl Lomachenko and Floyd Mayweather's protege Davis, who currently holds the WBA 'regular' title.
