Keyshawn Davis said:
"Of course, I would pick Lomachenko first, but if I could become a world champion, then I’m going to become a world champion. I’m not going to be waiting on nobody’s time,”
"When I become world champion, I'm world champ just like he's world champ".
"I think that's a fight that needs to be made, Davis vs. Davis, and both of us got that mentality. So, if he's up for the challenge, I'm up for it. Yeah, I'm on everybody's radar. I'm talented. I can fight. I'm on everybody's radar",
"They won't mention me because they don't want these problems. People know from amateurs that I'm proving myself".
Gustavo Lemos said:
“When my promoters from O.R. Promotions told me they had begun talks with Top Rank, I was thankful. The wait and hard work have paid off, and I will make the most of this opportunity. I am finally entering the big leagues, fulfilling a lifelong dream, and getting closer and closer to the possibility of becoming a world champion.
Being part of the best promotional company in the world motivates me to give my best every day in training. Thank you, Top Rank, for your trust. I can’t wait for the future.”
