Sean O'Malley vs. Gervonta Davis? The new UFC bantamweight champ has stern words for 'Tank'

After defeating Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292 over the weekend, new bantamweight world champion Sean O'Malley used part of his post-fight press conference to call out Gervonta Davis for a boxing bout in the near future.

Ryan Garcia, who was knocked out by "Tank" this past April, warned:

To that, O'Malley responded: "Like you did or different?"

Well, on Monday while speaking with Stephen A. Smith on ESPN's "First Take," O'Malley disregarded Garcia's warning and once again shared his interest in having a boxing match with Davis, the WBA "Regular" lightweight champion who touts a record of 29-0 with 27 KOs.

"I'm in the fight business," O'Malley began telling Smith. "I'm looking for big fights.

"I know what I possess in my boxing skills," he continued. "I've always done really good against guys who are as short as Gervonta."

Davis stands 5'5 1/2" to O'Malley's 5'11".

O'Malley added: "It's a massive fight. I truly, truly believe that I can win that fight. I'm not calling for it next. I'm building up for that fight."

When Sterling lunged with a left hand Saturday night, O'Malley showed off some of his boxing skills by calmly stepping back and clocking "Funkmaster" with a sharp and vicious right. A few punches later and he was crowned the new bantamweight champion.

But doing the same against a caliber fighter like "Tank" would be a stiff order, considering how Davis combines boxing skills with explosive power that no pro has been able to find a solution for. Plus, "Tank" has knocked out taller opponents in the past.
