Gervonta “Tank” Davis has established himself as one of the biggest names in boxing over a 10-year career, with world titles in three different weight classes.

Davis was most recently in the ring against Ryan Garcia in a matchup between two of the sport’s premiere stars, with “Tank” coming out on top with a spectacular seventh-round stoppage.

But that fight was back in April, and boxing is very much a “what have you done lately?” type of sport, so fans and pundits await Davis’ next bout to see who he’ll take on next.

Count former two-division world champion Antonio Tarver among those who want to see Davis continually testing himself against the best that the sport has to offer, with Tarver saying “Tank” needs to step back into the ring soon.

“I think he’s the goods,” Tarver told Betway. “I love seeing him fight, he’s the culture right now and everyone can relate to Gervonta Davis, but I want to see him fight those big names too because you’re only as big as the person you’ve beat.

“A lot of the times, people say ‘who has he beat?’ At the end of the day that’s what you’ve got to ask to yourself.

“But I believe those big fights are out there, but it takes two to tango. We’ve got to get those guys willing to take those risks and fight these guys, to fight and take the chances of laying it all on the line and not being so picky about the guys you don’t fight.

“If you’re the best, you’ll figure it out inside those 12 rounds. A lot of times you don’t have it figured out until you step in there but sometimes you’ve got to take risks, and nothing is more rewarding than the risks you take.”

Tarver has one particular name in mind for Davis — another undefeated fighter who has held world titles in multiple weight classes and is still in his prime.

It only makes sense for Davis to eventually face Shakur Stevenson in a “legendary” fight, Tarver said.

“The big name fighters are out there and I think we will see Gervonta Davis in the ring with the likes of the biggest names we want to see but those guys have got to get on his level, keep winning and eventually the cream is going to rise to the top and we’re going to have a process of elimination,” he said.

“I can see Gervonta Davis or Shakur Stevenson being the last man standing – that is a great fight. A little too soon right now but it is definitely in the making to be one of those fights we will call a legendary night because the winner will become an instant legend, and the GOAT!”

Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis are two of the top talents fighting out of the US, and a fight down the line is potentially one of the best the sport can offer.

Haney became undisputed at lightweight in 2022, and successfully – albeit closely – defended that crown against Vasily Lomachenko in May of this year.

He has since decided to try his hand at 140lbs having been tight at 135 for some time, and recently said that to make the ‘biggest fight in boxing’ with knockout artist ‘Tank’ Davis, it would need to be at the higher weight.

Speaking to Mill City Boxing, Coach Kenny Ellis said that Haney’s demand for the fight to be at super-light was ‘crazy’ – especially given the fact that he’s not shut the door on a move back down.

Regardless, Ellis feels that the mention of his fighter’s name is purely to drum up hype, and things will go quiet when the time to fight him comes around.

Haney faces Regis Prograis for his WBC 140 world title in December.

He still holds three of the four titles in the lightweight division, but he has been made Champion in Recess by the WBC. That means the vacant belt will be fought for by Shakur Stevenson and Edwin De Los Santos this month.

Should Stevenson win, Ellis wants that fight for his man before the Haney bout.

Davis has ruled out fighting this year, meaning his victory over Ryan Garcia in April – followed by a stint in prison – will be the sole outing. He has promised fans they will see him return in early 2024.

After his dominant victory over Ryan Garcia in April, Gervonta Davis said that he is ‘abso-f***ing-lutely’ the face of boxing.

It was a sentiment expressed years prior by Floyd Mayweather, who took the Baltimore puncher under his wing and built his career. ‘Money’ May said that ‘Tank’ would undoubtedly be the standout star of the sport.

The success of the Garcia fight backs up those claims. The gate was one of the most successful in the history of Las Vegas, beaten only by events involved Mayweather and Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez.

Davis’ seventh round stoppage that night also cemented him as one of the best lightweights in the world, and there are still bigger fights out there for him.

In fact, many feel that he’s not faced enough top-level contenders 29 fights into his career, with match-ups against Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and more all still untouched. It’s something he seems to agree with.

Asked by Open Thoughts if he was ‘the king of boxing,’ ‘Tank said no.

Most observers of the sport still give that honour to Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez, the four-weight world champion who has built an incredible following over the span of an 18-year, 64-fight career.

The Mexican is fresh off another defence of his undisputed super-middleweight status and may have a huge fight coming against countryman David Benavidez in 2024.

‘Tank’ will look get busy then too after a prison stint halted his momentum this year. The first man up is rumoured to be Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz – one of only two fighters to take Davis the distance.

A rematch win may set him up to compete for a vacant lightweight title should Devin Haney be stripped after a more up to 140lbs

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis is not messing around with crossover bouts.

The undefeated puncher had a stellar start to the year with a victory over Ryan Garcia, but a prison stint halted his momentum.

Now back in training, he has returned to social media and is as brash as ever. One commenter found that out when they suggested crossover star, Jake Paul, would give him a good fight,

Despite there being a strong chance the post was a joke, Davis responded simply:

He has previously called Paul a ‘clown’ and ruled out the idea of ever fighting him. That didn’t stop the YouTuber-turned-fighter putting ‘Tank’ on his list of potential opponents, even with an over 40lbs weight difference between them.

‘Tank’ is focused on his ring return, expected for early 2024 and restarting his journey to become ‘the king of boxing.’

The opponent heavily rumoured is Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, who previously took the Baltimore fighter the distance. That unanimous decision victory is just one of two on the 28-year-old’s record that went the distance.

As for Paul, he has announced a ring return for December 15 on DAZN but is yet to reveal – or perhaps cement – his opponent.

The statement that came alongside the news said the American was focused on becoming a world champion, leading some fans to believe it will be a relative established boxer in the other corner rather than an MMA star as previous.

In the world of boxing, abstaining from vices before matches is a revered tradition. This dedication to clean living preserves peak physical and mental states. Additionally, it also illuminates the ring with unparalleled focus and endurance. Gervonta Davis might not agree. ‘Tank’ Davis has a 10-year-old professional career, not counting the time he fought as an amateur. Through these years, he has figured out what works best before a match.

The 3 pre-requisites for Gervonta Davis

Funny Marco asked Davis what made him endure and stay put in a fight for longer durations without getting tired. To this, Davis replied, “I run a lot, have s*x and swimming.” These three things are ornamental to Davis ensuring he stays active through a stretched-out fight.

Marco had heard otherwise. Boxers often refuse to indulge in sexual activities and alcohol at least a month before their fight D-day. “Yeah but like when you train like it’s the last 4 weeks, like the last month, getting close to the fight, but before that, you can f*ck” Davis agrees. The 4 weeks before the fight are important and it is necessary to ensure that the body is fit enough to ensure a win.

Gervonta Davis: The new Mike Tyson?

In an exclusive interview with the Sporting Post, boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. expressed his admiration for Davis, the WBC lightweight title holder. Comparing him to ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, Jones emphasized Davis’s unique entertainment factor. While fighters like Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson are entertaining as well, Davis brings a different level of excitement to the sport

According to Jones, Davis possesses a Mike Tyson-like intensity both inside and outside the ring. This makes him a modern-day version of the legendary boxer. His power and unpredictability add a thrilling dimension to boxing, captivating his fans with every fight.
