Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis showed his sparring partner no mercy during their training session.

As Davis stalked his opponent around the ring, beating him up, he found himself up against the ropes and almost fell out of the ring at one point.

Rather than allowing his sparring partner to take a second to sort himself out, ‘Tank’ mocked him by stepping out of the ropes himself.

And before his opponent had even readied himself, Davis jumped back into the ring and landed a body shot, as the pair continued sparring.

Davis posted this to his Instagram four years ago alongside the caption of three devil emojis.

This demonstrated ‘Tank’s’ ruthless streak that has helped him achieve huge success in the sport of boxing.

From an accolades perspective, he is 29-0, with 27 KO’s, and he has been world champion in the super featherweight division.

In terms of financial success, last time out Davis KO’d Ryan Garcia and the event reportedly brought in over $100 million in pay-per-view buys, sponsorship’s and ticket sales, resulting in a career high payday for ‘Tank’.

And the money looks like it’s going to keep coming as Davis’ promoter, Premier Boxing Champions, recently signed a broadcasting deal with Amazon Prime.

The agreement will see PBC stage 12-14 fights a year and Davis is expected to headline their first pay-per-view event in March.

As for who the opponent could be, there are a number of potentially lucrative options around his weight class, from Devin Haney to Teofimo Lopez, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson among others.

In a world where words often pack a punch, Gervonta Davis, the boxing maestro, opted for a cryptic jab outside the ring. Surrounded by the luxury of a private jet, Davis’s latest Instagram post is a curveball. No gloves, no ring, just an enigmatic message. Known for his knockout power, his words now spark intrigue.

Amidst recent talks of championship titles and high-profile fights, Davis’s choice of communication is unusual. His Instagram, usually a showcase of athletic triumphs, takes a turn towards the cryptic. Fans and followers are left deciphering. What is the boxing star implying? His successful past clashes, like the victory over Ryan Garcia, add layers to this mystery.

In the jet’s lap of luxury: Davis’ bold declaration on worth

Transitioning smoothly from the ring to the realm of social media, Gervonta Davis presents a picture that speaks volumes. In his latest Instagram post, the boxing sensation reclines in the plush interior of a private jet. The image captures him lying on a bed, phone in hand, which is notably adorned with a diamond-studded bracelet. This opulent detail underscores his success in the boxing world. His caption, however, strikes a different chord: “If you aren’t gonna pay me for my skills don’t invite me to ur office!” This statement, direct and bold, immediately grabs attention.

These contexts add weight to his Instagram declaration. Evidently, Davis isn’t just a formidable force in the ring; he’s equally assertive about his worth and the recognition of his skills outside of it. Therefore, this post serves not only as a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of a successful athlete but also as a bold statement about his perception of value and compensation in the sport. Could this be about the recent revelation that Ryan made about his fight with Gervonta?

Ryan Garcia’s grit before facing Gervonta Davis

The boxer Gervonta Davis has not had an official fight for months, in his last fight he defeated Ryan Garcia in April. Davis delivered a good blow to the liver of ‘KingRy’ that left him with a knee on the canvas without being able to get up.

Davis, the rising star in the boxing world, has been attracting the attention of his rivals who are eager to challenge him.

Gervonta posted a video on his Instagram stories where the boxer is seen performing sparring with good rhythm and intensity while giving some screams of strength. A few seconds later he knocks out his opponent.

A few months ago Gervonta was asked who could beat him, if opponents like Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson , Davis confidently stated, “The only person who could beat me is Gervonta Davis. Those others can’t touch me at all.”

Ryan Garcia is looking for a rematch, arguing that when they faced each other, he was not at his best. In an interview with Fight Hub TV, ‘KingRy’ said he is better than Gervonta and will do whatever it takes to get a rematch.

In September, Gervonta said he would not fight for the remainder of 2023 and would concentrate on personal matters.

It should be recalled that the boxer is involved in a legal matter related to a hit-and-run incident that occurred in May 2021. And although he was not initially expected to serve time in prison, he ended up spending most of his 90-day sentence in jail.

After his win over Ryan Garcia earlier this year, Gervonta Davis claimed that he is the ‘face of boxing’, but without a ‘super’ world title in the lightweight ranks, some fans feel there are others more fitting.

With the WBA Regular title in his position, Davis seems poised to challenge for a full 135 title in the near future given the unified champion, Devin Haney, looks to be pursuing more glory up at super-lightweight.

Another way that ‘Tank’ can cements his status as the sport’s premier star is another statement win following the Garcia stoppage.

Davis has previously said a match-up with Naoya Inoue – who fights for the undisputed super-bantamweight title on Boxing Day and is highly-regarded as a top two pound-for-pound fighter in the rankings of most pundits – would be a ‘dream fight.’

His past as a former super-featherweight world champion has led some hopeful fans to believe that a catchweight showdown between the undefeated power-punchers could be possible.

However, Calvin Ford, who trains Davis, maintained that the bout is unlikely to happen any time soon, in an interview with Marko Boxing.

Ford went on to doubt whether Inoue’s ‘destructive’ power would transition into a weight-class as high as super-featherweight or lightweight, yet it is likely that the former light-flyweight champion will be tested at featherweight in the near-future, assuming he defeats Marlon Tapales next month.
