Story summary
  • The World Boxing Association ordered Gervonta Davis to defend his lightweight title against No. 1 contender Floyd Schofield by June 22.
  • The WBA gave both camps 30 days from the May 23 notice to agree, or it will order a purse bid.
  • Fans lament the absent Stevenson bout as Davis’s overdue defense follows his March 1, 2025 draw and unbeaten 19-0 Schofield, who beat Tevin Farmer, emerges as frontrunner.
