Gervonta Davis Next Fight: Possible High-Stakes December Clash With World Champion…

By
Gervonta Davis VS Frank Martin

Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) is the current WBA lightweight champion and was last seen when he defeated Frank Martin on June 15 this year. It remains to be seen what comes next for “Tank” as Dan Rafael reveals via his Fight Freaks Unite Substack that Gervonta Davis could be facing WBA super featherweight titlist and promotional free agent Lamont Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) on Dec.21 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

Davis Eyeing Major December Bout Against World Champion

According to the report from Rafael, there were discussions for “Tank” to headline a PBC Prime Video pay-per-view event on Nov. 2, which has now been ruled out with Nov. 23 or Dec. 14 looking more likely. A third date has emerged as a possibility with December 21 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. presenting itself with WBA super featherweight champion Roach prepared to step up in weight to take on the unbeaten Baltimore fighter.

IBF champion Vasiliy Lomachenko had been the preferred opponent and had many in the boxing world dreaming of a fascinating unification match-up. PBC and Top Rank were said to be working on a deal when Lomanchenko decided to take off the rest of the year, leaving “Tank” to look elsewhere. Jose Valenzuela defeating Issac Cruz took the “Pitbull” fight away and a possible Valenzuela fight didn’t create much interest.

A fight against Roach in Washington would seemingly generate big interest with Roach from D.C. and Davis from nearby Baltimore. The two met in a 2011 amateur contest which “Tank” won via a three-round decision.

The December 21 option against Roach is seemingly the likely option for the PBC PPV card. On that day will be the PPV between Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury II, which would seemingly garner the most interest in the boxing world.

Gervonta Davis VS FLOYD MAYWEATHER

They can sometimes go under the radar, but the people who train the best boxers are pretty brave as well and Gervonta Davis‘ trainer has gone after Floyd Mayweather.

As Mayweather once declared: “I’m the best, nobody can beat me.” Davis‘ trainer is planning to put that statement to the test.

Mayweather retired from professional boxing with a record of 50-0, with huge names like Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez failing to beat him when the chance came around.

He has never even been knocked down by an opponent’s punch, so you’d have to be brave or stupid to take him on.

The trainer’s statement

Manny Pacquiao VS Floyd Mayweather

Taking to Instagram, Gervonta Davis‘ trainer wrote, “Gervonta Davis can decode the shoulder roll if Floyd can fight another exhibition. He can fight another fight if he is great as he says he is. Let’s stop spinning the fans, Gervonta vs Floyd.”

Davis was actually a part of Mayweather Productions in the past when he was trying to make his name, but since departing in 2022, he has been at loggerheads with Mayweather and a fight has been on the cards.

Gervonta Davis names best fighter he has ever faced but still thinks he was ‘a level above’….

GERVONTA TANKS

Gervonta Davis paused for a moment before picking the best opponent he has ever faced.

The Baltimore banger has barely put a foot wrong during his unblemished 30-0 career so choosing the boxer who gave him the toughest test is no easy task.

Gervonta Davis AND Isaac Cruz

The consensus pick among fans would be Isaac Cruz, who pushed Davis all the way to the final bell in December 2021.

But after pondering the question for a few seconds, Davis chose Ryan Garcia.

Speaking in the immediate aftermath of his seventh-round stoppage victory over ‘King Ry’ last year, he said: “I’d say he’s the best fighter.

“Definitely, we was going off each other energy in there.

“We was actually talking in there. You know what I mean? It was fun.

“It was fun while it lasted. You know what I mean? I enjoyed every moment of it.”

Garcia had his moments but he eventually succumbed to a sickening body shot knockout after falling behind on all three judges scorecards.

“I just felt like I was like a step, a level above him,” Davis added.

“You know what I mean? So, everything he was doing in the ring, I was already aware of everything.

RYAN GARCIA VS GERVONTA TANKS

“I was already aware a couple steps before he did it.

“So, I was mostly calm and just let him make his mistakes and I just, you know, yeah, I countered off his mistakes.”

After beating Garcia, Davis spent 44 days in prison for violating the terms of a sentence, which initially saw him avoid jail time.

In May last year, Davis was sentenced to 90 days of home detention, three years probation, and 200 hours of community service over his November 2020 hit-and-run car crash which injured four people.

‘Tank’ was later found guilty of violating the terms of his home detention by trying to serve the home detention order at the Four Seasons Hotel and a $3.4million penthouse, rather than trainer Calvin Ford’s house as the judge initially agreed.

As a result, he was ordered to serve the rest of his 90-day sentence in jail.

After his release, Davis returned to the ring against Frank Martin in June 2024 – a fight he won via eighth-round KO.

Consequently, Martin couldn’t be considered in Davis’ ‘toughest opponent’ debate, although he was far more complimentary about Garcia’s abilities than ‘The Ghost’s’. Davis’ pick may come as somewhat of a surprise considering the manner in which he dealt with his rival.

Fans Create $18 Million Dream Team to Dethrone Kings Canelo, Usyk, Crawford, Gervonta Davis, and More…

By
Terence Crawford VS Gervonta 'Tank' Davis

How much money would it take to dethrone the champions in every major division? DAZN Boxing gave their fans a sum of $18 million in a recent social media post to choose their team. So, who are these champions? Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, former super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, and former undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford. But wait, there’s more.

WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue, and women’s WBC super bantamweight champion Yamileth Mercado were also part of the lineup. This was enough to get fans excited as they picked from the options with price tags to defeat each champion in their division.

Terence Crawford VS Canelo Alvarez AND Jermell Charlo

Who are the challengers?

In addition to the defending champions, DAZN Boxing gave their followers five challengers they could pick from each division with a diminishing price tag. The only catch was the total price tag of the six challengers they chose should not cross $18 million. For Usyk, the challengers were Tyson Fury ($5 million), Anthony Joshua ($4 million), Zhilei Zhang ($3 million), Martin Bakole ($2 million) and Moses Itauma ($1 million).

For Canelo, the list of challengers included Edgar Berlanga ($5 million), Osleys Iglesias ($4 million), Jamie Munguia ($3 million), Diago Pacheco ($2 million), and William Scull ($1 million). In a similar diminishing cost, for Terence Crawford, the challengers were Jaron Ennis, Vergil Ortiz Jr., Jermell Charlo, Sebastian Fundora, and Xander Zayas.

Gervonta Davis had Shakur Stevenson, Vasyl Lomachenko, William Zepeda, Abdullah Mason, and Mark Chamberlain. Meanwhile, Naoya Inoue had to face one of the following: Angelo Leo, Brandon Figueroa, Rafael Espinoza, Murodjon Akhmadaliev, and Bruce Carrington. And finally, Yamileth Mercado.

Gervonta Davis vs Vasyl Lomachenko

Her challengers were Erika Cruz Hernandez, Elleie Sctotney, Mea Motu, Phannarai Netisri, and Nazarena Romero. Seeing such a formidable list of challengers, fans quickly took their personalized list to the comments section to challenge the kings of the division.

Fan wonders if they should keep the money

There’s a reason each of those fighters is a champion—nobody can beat them. This led one user to come up with an alternative. The user wrote, “Can I keep the $18M instead? Half of them not losing.” However, Davis and Crawford are yet to face Stevenson and Ennis, so their crown isn’t exactly safe.

However, the next user was all in on the game, as he shared his list to beat the kings of the divisions. “Bakole, Pacheco, Ennis, Stevenson, Carrington,” the user wrote. This user seems to have forgotten about Mercado, and he is even left with $3 million.

The next user had some changes in his list. The user chose, “AJ, Pacheco, Boots, Loma, Shu Shu, Netisri.” Skipping Stevenson for Davis was interesting, but the lack of money may have influenced this user’s decision.

Terence Crawford Vs Jaron Ennis

Another user presented his list to fight the kings. The user commented, “Bakole, Pacheco, Ennis, Shakur, Bruce.” Even this user seems to have forgotten about Mercado, with several million left.

Meanwhile, this user was left bamboozled with the list of challengers provided for Canelo Alvarez. “That Canelo column is pure foolishness…. Im not playing this game …. Yall ruined it,” the user wrote. This could be because of the absence of David Benavidez.

While the list of fighters people chose to defeat the champions of each division is interesting, making those fights in real life can prove a bit difficult. But the post from DAZN Boxing gave a clear idea of what fights people would like to see. Regardless, who would you choose to beat the kings?

“Uh, no I asked [was] what [Floyd] for the whole summer before I signed with him you know before I even you know signed anything on paper he already bought me cars, he bought me jewelry, and things like that,” Gervonta once said in an interview.

“Carl Froch Punching Air rn”: Set to Break Tyson Fury’s Record, Anthony Joshua Receives Major Boost from HE Turki Alalshikh and Fans Are All for It…

By
Carl Froch VS Tyson Fury

It might be the fight of the year, and it has everything to offer. Two British heavyweights dance around the ring to score a knockout and secure a golden ticket to fight for the undisputed title next. What’s better than actually putting on such a show before their home crowd, too? So, the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois fight is the hype, and the fans are looking forward to some fireworks and some heavy blows, as they fight it out for the biggest prize of their careers. And it seems it might also surpass what Tyson Fury pulled off two years ago.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

Joshua, 34, and Dubois, 26, will clash at Wembley Stadium on September 21 for the IBF heavyweight title and the massive Riyadh card has already swayed the fans. The developments are under process to accommodate as many fans as possible, as HE Turki Alalshikh has requested some additions to the iconic arena.

Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois set on course to shatter some records

TalkSports’ Michael Benson turned to his X handle and revealed the Joshua vs. Dubois fight could break the current attendance record at Wembley Stadium. Previously, Fury had gone up against Dillian Whyte in 2022 and attracted a crowd of 94,000, the largest ever for a combat event in the UK. He wrote, “Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois could break the British boxing attendance record at Wembley Stadium on Sept 21st as His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has said they’ve now applied to extend the capacity with the aim of surpassing the 94,000 who attended Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte.”

Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov

Interestingly, HE Turki Alalshikh, in a recent post on X, admitted to pleading with authorities to extend the capacity of Wembley and also hoped to pull up the largest crowd in the stadium’s history. Whether that comes true or not will depend on how the fans perceive the fight, and it seems they are swayed by it.

Fans rally behind ‘AJ’

One fan called Joshua, the one-third face of boxing, and demanded respect for the British fighter. They declared, “Anthony Joshua is 1/3 face’s of boxing! Put some respect on his name.” While Canelo Alvarez lays claim to the current face of boxing, the other part half is clearly Gervonta Davis.

Canelo Alvarez

A user criticized ‘AJ’ for cherrypicking an opponent and believed the last worthy opponent he faced was Oleksandr Usyk. Predicting a knockout, they argued, “The last good opponent Joshua had was Usyk smh AJ stops Dubois in 7.” Interestingly, after suffering a defeat from the Ukrainian fighter for a second time in 2022, Joshua is on an exciting 4-0 run.

Froch and Joshua were Olympic teammates but have since lost their close bond. Joshua recently called Froch a “p****y” in an interview and Froch went on to leak their WhatsApp DMs as well. Someone referenced the recent beef between Carl Froch and Joshua, at 28-3. They announced, “Carl froch punching air rn.” The comment was also in reference to Carl Froch’s long-standing record of 80,000 spectators at Wembley which he held in 2014 in a fight against George Groves, which has since been broken multiple times by both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA AND FRANCIS NGANNOU

A comment denied accepting anything from HE Turki Alalshikh. The comment read, “We don’t believe nothing turki says about a sell out 😂😂.” The comment could be a jibe at Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov, where the Saudi adviser claimed to be selling out the arena, but later some contested that promoters distributed free tickets to fill the arena.

Lastly, one fan threw shade on Joshua’s opponent and praised AJ for his popularity and for carrying on promotional duties. They insisted, “AJ be carrying these unmarketable boxers on his back 😂.” Joshua has sold over 1 million PPV buys in his fights with Andy Ruiz and Wladimir Klitschko. He also sold almost 700,000 PPVs when he fought Francis Ngannou earlier this year. It remains to be seen whether he can replicate similar success when he fights Dubois.

What do you make of this development regarding Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois? Do you believe the fight will shatter attendance records on September 21? Let us know in the comments below.

Gervonta Davis Next Fight Date And Location Reported…

By
GERVONTA TANKS

For the vast majority of boxing fans, Gervonta Davis sits on the periphery of the top three pound-for-pound fighters in the sport but when it comes to pay-per-view draw, he and Canelo Alvarez remain at the top of the pile. Now it appears as though there is a new date in the calendar to be marked, as Davis’ second fight of the year has been touted for a date and location.

Canelo Alvarez

JUST IN: Trainer wants Jose Valenzuela to face Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis next…

‘Tank’ was upgraded from WBA (Regular) lightweight champion to full WBA world lightweight champion last November and made a first defence of his new strap when he faced Frank Martin at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and the Baltimore-born knockout-artist obliged with yet another stoppage win.

With the belts fragmented across the 135lb division, there is an expectation on Gervonta Davis’ shoulders to compete in unification bouts against the likes of Vasyl Lomachenko (IBF) and Shakur Stevenson (WBC), but it is the latter who has been closely linked to a showdown with the southpaw sensation, after ‘Loma’ ruled himself out.

Instead, it is Davis and Stevenson have been rumoured to face one another in an all-American affair for the WBA and WBC titles, with whispers even circulating that the duo had agreed a deal to face one another in November, only for Stevenson to deny those claims.

Gervonta Davis vs Vasyl Lomachenko

Unfortunately for fight fans, William Zepeda now seems set to take on Stevenson after it was reported that the WBC title-holder had ‘verbally agreed’ to meet the Mexican, who is ranked as the number one contender with all four sanctioning bodies. However, Davis is still expected to fight in November, as TGB Promotions have booked out the T-Mobile Arena (Las Vegas) for a card on November 2nd.

That being said, Promoter of Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn, who has been linked with signing free-agent Stevenson in recent weeks, set out his plans to make Tank-Stevenson in 2025, as per SportsKeeda.

“Shakur is in a good spot at the moment, there’s a lot of people talking about him. He’s gonna have a few offers, hopefully he comes with [Matchroom Boxing]. But it’s got to work for us and him. But when you look at ‘Tank’s’ options, the only thing he can really do is move to [140 pounds].”

“If I’m Shakur, I chase the [William Zepeda] fight. I keep building my brand into the ‘Tank’ fight next year. That’s a big fight when it happens. It’s one of the best fights in boxing.”

As far as potential opponents for November 2nd go, aside from William Zepeda, 21-year-old Floyd Schofield (17-0) is next in line in the WBA rankings but the highly-rated prospect is unlikely to rush in to a fight of that magnitude just yet.

Meanwhile, Edwin De Los Santos spoiled the party when he fought to a dull split-decision defeat to Stevenson last year, the Dominican is ranked #4 with the WBA and would provide ‘Tank’ with a perfect springboard to do what Stevenson couldn’t and knock De Los Santos out, to set up a potential 2025 scrap with his lightweight rival.
