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.

Gervonta Davis, the rising star in the world of boxing, has been attracting attention from his rivals who are eager to challenge him. After his victory over Ryan Garcia in April, which was hailed as the biggest commercial fight of the year, Davis has become one of the hottest properties in the sport. It is estimated that the fight brought in over 1 million pay-per-view buys, solidifying his status as a box office draw.

However, Davis has recently been making headlines for his actions outside of the ring rather than inside it. He found himself serving time in jail after breaking a house arrest order, which is not the first time he has had trouble with the law.

Despite this, Davis believes that his own actions are the only thing that can jeopardize his superstardom. When asked about potential challengers like Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson, Davis confidently stated: “The only person that could beat me is Gervonta Davis. Those others cannot touch me at all.”

Davis has sparred with both Haney and Stevenson in the past and claims to have come out on top. He dismisses Haney as a threat, saying: “Devin Haney is no 50/50 fight. How are you going to keep me off him when he’s got no power?” Davis even recalls a sparring session where he almost knocked Haney out in Floyd Mayweather‘s gym. These statements show Davis’ self-assuredness and belief in his own abilities.

He’s focused on his return to the ring

While a potential fight with Haney may have to wait as he moves up to the 140 lbs weight class to take on Regis Prograis, Davis is focused on his own return to the ring before the end of the year. A rematch with Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz is currently the front-runner for his next fight. Davis is determined to continue his winning streak and prove himself as one of the best in the sport.
