There’s a rampaging ‘Tank’ searching for a kill. And from what it appears, it has a target in the crosshairs. It didn’t take much to fire the first parting shot. Professionally, the year had been fantastic for Gervonta Davis. After a successful title defense in January, the Baltimorean boxer scored one of the most decisive victories of recent times against Ryan Garcia in April. However, it is on the personal front that he has had to suffer a few setbacks.

On July 14th, Davis came out of jail after serving 44 days of the 90-day house arrest sentence he received for the 2020 road accident case. Amidst streams of talks on match-ups, he has yet to make a return to the ring. However, that hasn’t prevented the southpaw from taking now-and-then digs. For instance, he went after renowned trainer Robert Garcia and his charge, Raymond Muratalla, who recently scored a knockout victory over Diego Torres Nunez. But for reasons still not clear, the latest developments came when the world champion shared his apprehensions over how a few legal restrictions could impact training.

An upcoming foe, the ‘Tank’?

Soon after Muratalla became the North American Boxing Federation Lightweight Champion as well as the WBO Global Lightweight Champion, Robert Garcia took to his X account and said how everyone has started not to sing what he and his team have been witnessing for some time in the gym. Raymond Muratalla is now ready for anyone in the Lightweight division. 16 of Muratalla’s 19 victories came through knockouts. No wonder ‘Danger’ has emerged as one of the foremost prospects in the Lightweight division to reckon with.

FightHype uploaded a short clip today. It showed screenshots of Robert Garcia’s tweets. But it was followed by a response from Gervonta Davis as well. The WBA Lightweight champion wrote, “On my momma, that n**a a** @GarciaBoxing.”

Could the shade-throwing be inferred as an attempt to gradually make a move for the next match-up?

Gervonta Davis: between rumors and reality

It should be noted that since the Garcia fight followed by the jail term, ‘Tank’s name has come up against the likes of Terence Crawford, unified Lightweight champion Devin Haney, and Shakur Stevenson. However, barring the update on the Isaac Cruz rematch, most thus appear as passing talks only. Davis recently shared clips of him getting back in the gym and training with fans. But from what it seems and given the time left in the year, in all likelihood, a return from one of the faces of boxing could be expected by the early months of next year only. Fans will have to wait until such time to see their icon back in the ring.

Floyd Mayweather, often known as “Money” Mayweather, can be regarded as one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. He is a legendary figure in the world of combat sports. With his undefeated professional record of 50-0, he managed to carve himself an almost unmatched legacy with the help of his incredible skills, work ethic, and brilliant talent. Interestingly, his interest in boxing can be attributed to his family being deeply entrenched in the sport. Under his father and uncle’s guidance, he developed his passion. This burst him forth and he managed to reach the pinnacle of the sport.America’s Favorite Video Today

Floyd Mayweather still tops the chart of PPV sales

Mayweather has been a huge name in the world of boxing and as such whenever he fought, he would have the attention of the whole boxing world. He has fought some of the biggest names in the sport and thus has reached such high PPV sales that it has still not been topped by other fighters. Some of these fights are-

Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao

In what was hailed as the ‘Fight of the Century’ in 2015, Floyd Mayweather took on Manny Pacquiao in a bout that had been years in the making. Mayweather, known for his defensive prowess, went toe-to-toe with Pacquiao, who was considered one of the most exciting brawlers in the sport. Mayweather emerged victorious via a unanimous decision. This fight generated a record-breaking 4.6 million pay-per-view (PPV) buys, making it the most lucrative boxing match in history.

Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor

In 2017, Floyd Mayweather crossed over into the world of mixed martial arts to face UFC superstar Conor McGregor. This bout was highly anticipated and hyped as a showdown between two different combat sports. Mayweather’s boxing skills ultimately prevailed, and he won by TKO in the 10th round. The fight generated an astounding 4.3 million PPV buys, demonstrating the crossover appeal of both fighters

Mayweather vs. Canelo Álvarez

Mayweather’s bout against Canelo Álvarez in 2013 showcased his unmatched boxing skills. Mayweather used his experience and defensive tactics to defeat the young and aggressive Álvarez, maintaining his undefeated record. The fight sold 2.2 million PPV buys, solidifying Mayweather’s status as the sport’s biggest draw.

Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya

In 2007, Mayweather faced Oscar De La Hoya in a super-fight that lived up to the hype. Mayweather won a split decision, showcasing his boxing IQ and defensive mastery. This bout generated 2.4 million PPV buys, at the time, setting a new record and establishing Mayweather as a PPV superstar.

These four fights not only highlighted Mayweather’s boxing skills but also his ability to attract viewers. His incredible success in the PPV market has made him one of the most financially successful athletes in the history of professional sports.

Gervonta Davis vs Terence Crawford: A Potential PPV record?

Earlier this year, Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia went toe-to-toe in a highly anticipated fight that attracted the attention of the whole boxing world. Moreover, the fight achieved record-breaking sales as the PPV number reached a whopping 1.2 million. With this fight, Davis solidified his status as a true boxing talent. Meanwhile, Terence Crawford is also another name that shined brightly over others. He defeated his long-standing rival Errol Spence Jr. and became the first two-division undisputed champion.

With such accomplishments under their belt, any fights these boxers pick will receive a lot of attention from fans. However, what if the two decide to fight against one another? Interestingly, they had engaged in a brief back-and-forth. Davis appeared interested in a fight against Crawford and ‘Bud’ is never one to back down from a challenge. However, Davis soon made it clear that he was only joking around and that he wasn’t interested in the fight at the time. But with the popularity of these two fighters, if a fight could be made, it would undoubtedly break the record Davis and Garcia made earlier this year.

It may even snatch the position from one of Mayweather’s fights and create a history of its own. What do you think about the potential fight between Davis and Crawford? Do you think it would be able to break past all the records? Do share your thoughts in the comments below.

Not the best news for Gervonta Davis‘s fans. Even the best have their baggage to carry and for Davis, it is the consequences of his own doing. In February, Davis pleaded guilty to a hit-and-run incident from 2020 in a Baltimore court. His sentencing, initially set for May 5, was delayed. Davis also confessed to four traffic offences, including injuring a pregnant woman during the accident.

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.
