Stevenson, though, is frustrated with "Tank" Davis' antics and brutally roasted him in a recent interview. Speaking to FightHype, he said:

I am done saying it a hundred times, I am willing to make the fight happen. I still feel the same way. He gotta do what he gotta do. I don't wanna keep chasing somebody that's like, he's like a little girl. He feels as though me chasing after him, no, I am just trying to make the best fight in the sport. I am trying to make boxing great. I want to the best versus the best.

He further added:

I want to prove I am the best, that's all I want. It's not that I'm chasing you, I keep your name in my mouth. Bro, it's the fight that the world wants to see, it's the fight that the fans keep calling on. So, that's what I am saying. But with him, it's like a little girl sh*t. He feels like I need him or something. N***a I don't need you, I am already filthy rich.

Stevenson added that it's not the money that interests him for a Davis fight. Instead, he just wants to make the best fights in the sport happen.
