It’ll be a while till we see Gervonta Davis get back to boxing. However, that has not stopped him from being part of the sport’s affairs. While he braces for his return to the ring, he has endorsed a friend of his for his upcoming April fight. Such endorsement comes in the wake of Davis being AWOL from the sport owing to the time he spent in jail over June.

“Stay Tuned,” Gervonta Davis Endorses the Barbados fight
Recently, ‘Tank’ Davis was featured on Cobia Breedy’s social media to promote the featherweight fighter’s return to the ring. Tank asked his fans to “stay tuned” for the fight that is set to take its course in April next year in a Barbados Arena. The 32-year-old fighter roots himself in the DC Destroyers team.
The opponent for ‘Soldier’ Breedy has not been disclosed yet. However, the fighter is going all out in seeking endorsements for this fight. It will be his re-entry into the ring after a long sabbatical. He last fought against Sulaiman Segawa in October 2021. The fight ended in a no-contest, no-decision result. Come April 2024, he will return to the sport in hopes of starting from where he left off. That’s all about Breedy. But when is Tank returning to the ring?
Tank will headline in early 2024
It’s been a while since the fighter has finished his jail time. Yet, he remains away from the ring. The boxing realm has desperately sought clarifications as to when he would return to the ring, and now he has cleared all the air on this front. Earlier, in a social media post, Tank declared that he would be taking the rest of this year to work on his personal life. But in 2024, he will be back in the ring.
While the possible opponents for his next fight remain undisclosed, there has been one fighter who has already thrown his name in the hat. Devin Haney, who is all set to fight Regis Prograis in the super-lightweight division, has said that he would want to take the “biggest fight in boxing” against Tank. However, he says that for such a fight to happen, it’ll need to be at a higher weight. In response, Tank’s coach refuted the idea saying, “I feel like people are trying to suck him away from 135 to protect certain people. We’ve got unfinished business at 135, you know what I mean?”
He further added, “If he can make 135, why can’t he fight Tank at 135? It’s crazy. He don’t have any more power at 140 – I don’t see it anyway. I watched him tap the bag the other day. Claressa Shields hit the bag harder than that.” Regardless, the coach also feels that the ‘Dream’ using Tank’s name is yet another attempt to sell his upcoming fight.
Haney will fight against Regis Prograis on the 9th of December at the Chase Centre in San Francisco. Tank’s future bouts, on the other hand, remain shrouded in uncertainty. He last fought against Ryan Garcia to only win through a resounding 7th round knockout. Who do you think Tank should fight next? Let us know in the comments section below.
