Gervonta “Tank” Davis: From Street Battles To World Champion – PHENOM BOXINGDavis is one of boxing’s most thunderous punchers, having eviscerated almost all of his 30 opponents to date, winning by knockout 28 times from 30 outings. He’s a bona fide ticket seller, a pay-per-view attraction, and one of the sport’s finest pound-for-pound talents.

And, in the video below, part of that talent is on display. It’s a talent so unique it bears comparison to the distinctive approach Floyd Mayweather had to training all those years ago.

In the clip below, you can see Tank rehearse various punch routines with his padman but what is most impressive is the co-ordination, the speed, and the accuracy, to deliver a repertoire that looks as choreographed as this.

It is reminiscent of what made Mayweather so special when he trained.

Davis is one of the most prominent faces in boxing, and, should he emerge triumphant — as expected — over Roach, then big fights against the likes of Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez, or a rematch with Ryan Garcia could be next.

Premier Boxing Champions, is organizing the Tank vs Roach event alongside TGB Promotions, and Stephen Espinoza, a consultant for PBC and former president of Showtime Sports, has previously told GIVEMESPORT that, out of many available options to Tank, the fight that makes the most sense is one against Garcia.

Gervonta Davis 'Only Retiring To Avoid One Man': "He Told Me He Would Never  Fight Him" - Seconds OutIn 2023, Davis defeated Garcia by knockout with a particularly nasty shot to the body. The Las Vegas gate generated more than $20 million, per GIVEMESPORT sources, and was a runaway success on pay-per-view as it sold to approximately 1.2 million households in the US alone.

Considering Garcia’s name value has only grown since their fight, a rematch could be as successful from a business point-of-view as the first fight.
