Boxingtalk was informed by Prize Fight Promotions that a WBO featherweight championship bout between newly-minted champion Steven Luevano and Antonio Davis is in the works for the Manny Pacquaio-Marco Antonio Barrera II undercard on October 6, 2007.  Boxingtalk caught up with Davis to get his thoughts on this potential world title fight that's in the works.

BT – There's some breaking news talking about a possible fight between you and current WBO featherweight champion Steven Luevano. What can you tell us about that?

AD – If this fight does happen, I am coming, and I will give my best performance and that's for sure.  The opportunity is presenting itself, and I feel good about being in this new weight class.  I want all the champions, line them up, feed them to me.

BT – You took [former WBO junior lightweight champion] Joan Guzman to the cards in a very impressive effort.  I am guessing that does well for your confidence, especially if this fight happens.

AD – It's a confidence booster, even with that fight I wish I had more time to train.  It was what it was, it would have been foolish to pass that up.  I went into his backyard, and he's considered a power puncher, and a good fighter, so to go into his backyard and do as well as I did, I deserver a title shot.

BT – If this fight happens between you and Luevano, how do you match up against him?

AD – Well I know he's a southpaw, and he took Nicky Cook's title over in England, he stopped him in the eleventh round.  I know one thing, if it happens, I will be coming to get that title.

BT – You recently captured the NABO title by soundly defeating Leon Bobo, talk about your performance.

AD – I was very pleased with my performance, this is a kid that was supposed to be an up and coming prospect, and I felt like I took him to school.  He was supposed to be this slick southpaw that was going to give me all kinds of trouble.  I went to the gym, worked hard, and exploited his weaknesses.

BC – Do you think he overlooked you?

AD – I don't think he did, but I think that the powers that be overlooked me. Leon had to pay the price for that mistake.

BT – Bobo has fast hands and a decent jab, were you surprised at how easily you defeated him?

AD – No, in my mind I had always pictured how it ended.  This was a revenge fight for me, he was supposed to give me trouble, slick left handers were supposed to give me trouble, and I showed everyone that these guys don't give me trouble.

BT – Do you feel that this is your time now, it's your time to be a world champion?

AD – It's definitely my time, I have long payed my dues in boxing to get my world title.  I have more than payed my dues, and made sacrifices.  I feel I am the future at 126 lbs, and I am ready for any of the world champions out there.

BT – Put it into your own words what winning the world title would do for you.

AD – It would change everything for me.  First of all it would give me the satisfaction that I reached a goal that I set in the beginning of my career.  Financially it would settle everything for me and my family.

BT – Prize Fight Promotions is your promoter, talk about them for a minute.

AD – They provided me with a world title shot against Guzman under diverse circumstances, and if this fight goes through with Luevano I just want to be prepared, and give it my best.  I  tip my hat to them for giving me this opportunity if it happens, and I want to thank them for that.

BT – Do you have any closing thoughts for the fans?

AD – I want to thank my fans, and I want to thank them for sticking with me this long. Stick with me for a little bit longer, and I will be a world champion.

A
