Vasiliy Lomachenko Claps Back at Gervonta Davis’ Twitter Call Out – A Team Diss In Response

Boxing fans around the globe were taken by surprise when Vasiliy Lomachenko responded to Gervonta Davis‘ provocative call out on Twitter – not with a fiery tweet, but a disconcertingly cool denial. Lomachenko, the Ukrainian former unified lightweight world champion, dismissively brushed this call to arms aside, indicating Davis is not on the radar for his next fight.

Davis, known for his explosive power, is one of boxing’s brightest stars and not one to shy away from a challenge. The Baltimore native has garnered plenty of attention with his polished skills inside the boxing ring. Still, Davis seeks a high-profile matchup. Thus, he took to Twitter to call out Lomachenko. But his desired adversary, Lomachenko, and his team responded with nothing less than a diss.

Lomachenko has been firm about his comeback after undergoing shoulder surgery last year. The boxer known as “Loma” remained reserved, focusing on his preparation for his rematch against Masayoshi Nakatani, scheduled for June 2022 rather than engaging in a war of words.

“Vasiliy Lomachenko has more important things on his mind than Gervonta’s tweets”, said Egis Klimas, Lomachenko’s manager, in an apparent slight at Davis. This response can certainly qualify as a team diss towards Davis, who clearly hoped for a wordy and fiery exchange to set up an imminent fight.

While fans would undoubtedly be enthralled at the prospect of a Davis vs Lomachenko matchup, it seems that Lomachenko’s camp is unwaveringly focused on what’s ahead. “Loma” is not just looking at a fight, but a victory in his next match, which he believes will catapult him back to the apex of the lightweight division.

Lomachenko’s team has persistently stated their primary focus is on the Nakatani rematch, a decision informed by Loma’s strategy to regain his stature in the boxing world with progressive, well-calculated moves. However, that certainly does not mean that a future Davis vs Lomachenko fight is off the table, only that for now, this enticing matchup is postponed.

Communicated rather subtly but with a clear statement, Lomachenko’s camp noted that Davis must establish more credibility in the lightweight division before they consider engaging in a bout with him. The lack of response on social media puts further emphasis on this stance, reiterating a pivotal point – Lomachenko and his team are far more interested in actions in the ring than words on Twitter.

There’s no denying that Davis, holder of the regular WBA lightweight title, has exceptional accomplishments in his career. However, according to Loma’s team, these victories do not hold enough stature for the Ukrainian boxer to engage in a Twitter spat or rush into a fight.

With Lomachenko concentrating on his upcoming match and Davis gunning for more high-profile bouts, the boxing world can only wait and watch. The intrigue continues to build as these two boxers carve out their respective paths. Time alone will tell if and when this much-anticipated fight will be scheduled.

Ultimately, every challenge, every fight, and every bout in a boxer’s career contributes to their legacy on the grand stage of boxing. As it stands, both Davis and Lomachenko continue to make waves in the lightweight division. Despite the Twitter spat, a monumental Davis vs. Lomachenko clash may eventually materialize. If the time comes, the world will watch eagerly as two titans clash in the ring. But for now, the Twitter finger stays put, and the gloves remain on.
