'He's a superstar' – Eddie Hearn reveals he'd 'love' to sign up Gervonta Davis if contract with Floyd Mayweather is up

EDDIE HEARN admits he'd "love" to add boxing bad boy Gervonta Davis to his ever-growing stable.

The WBA regular lightweight champion reportedly fought out the final fight of his contract with Mayweather Promotions last weekend against Rolly Romero.



And should Davis decide not to continue his relationship with Mayweather, Hearn will bid to make Tank his latest marquee signing.

During an interview with iFL TV, he said: “I think he’s now going to take control of his career and obviously if he is available then we would love to work with him.”

Davis' recent hint that he could stay loyal to Mayweather hasn't put off Hearn from making a play for the Baltimore banger.

The Matchroom Boxing chief said: “When the relationship with a fighter is stretched, after the fight it’s always pally-pally.

"Everyone is sort of high on emotion [saying], ‘What a great night we are going to stay working with you.’ But I don’t know.

“I don’t even know if he’s out of contract, you just don’t know.

"We’ll certainly be reaching out to him to find out if he is out of contract and if he is out of contract, he should listen to everybody because there’s going to be some really interesting offers out there for him.

“He’s one of the biggest stars in the sport. I’ve got a couple of mega fights we could make instantly for him, and I know our broadcast partner would do everything to make that happen.”

Hearn plans to send Davis a direct message on Instagram should he be keen for a change of promotional scenery.

He said: “I would probably send him a DM.

"I’d just say, ‘Gervonta if you are out of contract, we’d love the opportunity to talk.’

"We’ve done it plenty of times before.”

Davis, 27, knocked out the previously-undefeated Romero in the sixth round of their Brooklyn brawl last Saturday.
