Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena , which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions , GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions , are on sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com . One of boxing’s biggest stars at just 26-years-old , Davis moves up to 140-pounds for the first time in his career as he aims to add super lightweight champion to his stellar resume . With a victory , Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously , a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history , including Henry Armstrong and Canelo Alvarez . Here is what Davis , along with trainer Calvin Ford , jeung Mayweather promosi CEO Leonard Ellerbe , had to say Wednesday from the Mayweather Boxing Club : GERVONTA Sadikin “We can’t say who the bigger puncher is until we get in that ring and test his power . It doesn’t matter who is stronger , I want to be better than him across the board and in every aspect of the game . “People who are here in the gym with me see a lot of things that I don’t need to bring out , even in my fights . Floyd is always telling me to box and use my skills , and don’t always look for the knockout . This camp we’ve actually been working on getting back to that and letting the knockout come . "Kanggo abdi, greatness is just not going backwards . I just want to keep going forward no matter what . No matter who’s in front of me , I just have to go through them . Where I’m from , a lot of people don’t make it out , so I’m doing something right . It doesn’t even have to be an opponent , it can be something outside of the ring . I’m always chasing greatness . “My thing is just beat whoever is put in front of me . When it’s time , we’ll see who the top guy is . Nepi ka saterusna, I don’t need to speak on any other fighter than the one in front of me . “Barrios and I have been through the amateurs together . He’s known what I’ve been doing . It’s crazy how life works out sometimes . “I’m a team player , so whatever my team tells me has to be done to better myself , I’m all for it . That’s what’s made me so good . I don’t just stand out by myself . I have the best team in boxing . “My last fight people complained that Leo Santa Cruz was too small , so I’m basically going out there and showing that a size difference doesn’t matter . I’m going to beat whoever they put in front of me . I’m trying to chase greatness . “I’m definitely looking to walk down the bigger guy . He might feel like he can walk me down . I was definitely watching Floyd fight a much bigger guy in Logan Paul and taking a few pointers from it . “I don’t know what Barrios will bring , but from my side , I’m bringing everything I’ve got . You know whenever I fight , I’m bringing something for the fans to enjoy.” CALVIN FORD , Davis’ Trainer “’Tank’s’ pay-per-view numbers opened up the doors for the rest of them . It’s because of ‘Tank’s’ social media . When people ask me why people gravitate towards him – he’s just like any kid that’s coming up from the inner cities . Look at basketball players – inner cities . Look at football players – inner cities . He’s showing them that if you put the right people around you and you put your mind to something , nanaon mungkin. “’Tank’ , Devin Haney , Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia will be the Four Kings if the fights happen . Hayu urang tetep nyata. Ayeuna, they’re doing the same thing that the Four Kings did at the beginning stage . All we have to do is sit back and let the minds that be , do their thing . It’s going to happen . All these fights that people want to see are going to happen . “Have you noticed that ‘Tank’ don’t call anybody out ? He never did . But if you put him in front of somebody , he’s going to show you . If you know ‘Tank’ from the amateurs , he’s going to show up in the ring . He’s like a baby Mike Tyson . “The weight isn’t what I’m focused on , it’s actually the opponent . When I started studying the opponent , his coach and I go way back in the amateurs . When we see each other , we know each other . It’s about the minds . He knows his athlete and I know my athlete . That night , it’s about the minds . It’s about who is going to hold fast to what they’re supposed to be doing . That’s the fight for me . “I wouldn’t say this is the toughest test of ‘Tank’s’ career because nobody can show me the best of ‘Tank’ yet . I know the best of ‘Tank’ . Ya’ll ain’t seen ‘Tank’.” Leonard ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather promosi “From top to bottom this is one of those pay-per-view events that you don’t want to miss . Anytime you have the most exciting fighter in the sport , you know it’s going to be big . Don’t expect anything less on June 26. “Coach Calvin Ford is a tremendous trainer who’s been with Gervonta since day one and they have a great game plan in place . I fully expect him to be able to execute . But Barrios is coming for him . He’s got a great trainer himself in Virgil Hunter and has made great progression with Virgil . “We know this is going to be a tough fight , but Gervonta just has to figure it out from the opening bell . And I believe he’ll do that , but it will take some time . Barrios is looking to upset the apple cart . “Gervonta is molding into his comfort zone . He’s becoming more comfortable with the media because he truly understands what he has in front of him . He knows that his ceiling is to be the biggest star in the sport . On the inside of the ring though , nothing has changed . “The co-feature is a terrific bout with Erickson Lubin taking on Jeison Rosario . That’s going to be a very entertaining fight . A win for Lubin puts him one step closer to his ultimate goal . Lubin feels like he’s the best in the weight class and eventually right that wrong of his loss to Jermell Charlo . But he has a tough rugged fighter in front of him and that should be an exciting bout . “Former unified champion Julian Williams is looking to bounce back against Brian Mendoza on the pay-per-view . Julian is obviously one of the top fighters in the division , and he’s looking to get back what he lost . “In the opening bout the very tough Batyr Akhmedov is up against Argenis Mendez , who is always in go-mode . So it really shows you how highly entertaining this card is all the way through . I’m really excited to be back at State Farm Arena.”
