When asked who he enjoys at present, Tyson replied: "I like Lomachenko, the little Ukrainian guy, you know him?

"I like him and I like Gervonta Davis, that little guy 'Tank'.

"Those guys have to fight, those two guys gotta fight...

"That's what God wants, those two to fight."

Ukraine's three-weight champion Lomachenko currently holds the WBA, WBO & WBC 'franchise' lightweight world titles.

Meanwhile America's Davis currently holds the lesser WBA 'regular' lightweight belt.

Gervonta previously told : “Lomachenko is definitely one of the top opponents for me at 130 or 135.

“I believe it will happen, but it got to be at the right time.”
