This unexpected taunt by Davis sent fans into a frenzy, speculating about a potential rematch between the two fighters. One enthusiastic fan exclaimed:

Another fan expressed their strong belief in Garcia’s abilities, stating:

Gervonta Davis’ coach hints at upcoming big fight

Gervonta Davis, the highly regarded 28-year-old boxer from Baltimore, is reportedly on the cusp of securing an intriguing new matchup, according to his head coach, Calvin Ford.

During a recent interview on The Rize Podcast, Ford hinted at a significant bout for Davis. Boxing reporter Michael Benson relaid Ford’s exact words via Twitter:

Gervonta Davis is unbeaten in 29 professional fights, and it looks like he takes his sparring partners in the gym just as seriously as his opponents.

The 28-year-old from Baltimore started 2023 off strong, earning a career best victory by stopping Ryan Garcia in their all-American grudge match. Not only did ‘Tank’ prove he was levels above Garcia, but he recorded one of the most successful gates in Las Vegas history doing so.

His year went downhill from there, being sentenced to home detention and subsequently prison for a hit and run case.

Now back out and able to train, the outspoken southpaw has been quick to return to social media. Today, he shared some sparring footage in which he can be seen piecing up a taller fighter at will.

The video was originally captioned to explain that the opponent had called ‘Tank’ out – if so, he got much more than he bargained for.

‘Tank’s training partner is unidentified, and given what’s on show will likely want to keep it that way.

Following his prison stint, the undefeated lightweight is eyeing a ring return in early 2024, with the frontrunner being Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz – one of only two men to take Davis the distance.

The fight in 2021 was a unanimous decision for Davis, who spoke of a hand injury in the aftermath as a reason for the full twelve rounds.

A rematch would present a nice opportunity to shake off any ring rust and put the rivalry to bed, but Cruz – that being his sole defeat – will have other plans for the self-proclaimed ‘face of boxing.’

On what broadcaster that fight ends up on remains to be seen, with PBC – which guides ‘Tank’s career – left searching for a new home after the announcement that Showtime would be leaving the sport at the end of this year.

Gervonta Davis scored the biggest win of his career against Ryan Garcia in April earlier this year. However, that win marked the beginning of his bad luck as the bad news followed the boxing star since then. Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis pleaded guilty to four counts for the crash in November 2020. Hence, he was ordered to remain under house arrest in his trainer, Calvin Ford’s home for 90 days.

However, the 29-0 Baltimore native decided to move to a hotel and then to another home without permission, per a report from Mike Coppinger. The unauthorized action from ‘Tank’ landed him in further trouble, as Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Althea Handy ordered Davis to serve the rest of his sentence in Baltimore jail. So, after being released from a 44-day prison sentence, Davis turned to Instagram. Recently, he share a heartfelt message with his fans while flaunting million-dollar a watch, rings, and outfits.

Earnest words from Gervonta Davis right after release

In his Instagram post today, the boxing star wrote, “If you spend your time chasing butterflies, they’ll fly away. But if you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you. When you focus on improving yourself, everything you want will come to you. We attract based on who we are, not what we want. Don’t chase, attract.” Besides sharing these beautiful words, Davis also included some images.

The undefeated boxer shared pictures of three images of three different outfits. He also included a short clip of a ring with a large pick diamond attached to a rose gold shank. In addition, Davis shared a close-up image of an Audemars Piguet watch. With that out of the way, now that Davis is out of prison, when is his next fight?

Gervonta Davis has quite an impressive resume, having defeated the likes of Ryan Garcia, Leo Santa Cruz, and Mario Barrios. However, after his last fight, the boxing world has been waiting for his next clash in the ring. During a recent podcast, Davis’ trainer, Calvin, dropped hints at a massive comeback bout for Gervonta Davis

During his appearance in The Rize Podcast, Calvin mentioned that the negotiations are underway for the next big fight for Davis. He even claimed the mystery surrounding Davis’ opponent was intentional because it would send shockwaves throughout the boxing world. While the hints from Calvin suggest a potential fight, there has not been any official announcement for the same.

Since his release from prison, Davis has seemingly bounced back as he has been active on social media. As far as Davis’ next fight is concerned, only time can tell who will get into the ring with Davis. However, we want to know what you think about Davis’ sentence.

Gervonta Davis believes legal orders are preventing him from progressing in his boxing campaign.

Following a career-best win over Ryan Garcia in an extremely lucrative cross-promotion, the 28-year-old knockout artist looked certain to keep rising in the sport.

A court sentencing in May halted that, with Davis receiving a home detention order and community service stemming from a November 2020 hit and run case.

In June, he was ordered to spent the remaining period – 44 days – in a Baltimore City Jail due to a breach of the conditions, namely moving from the agreed address to a luxury condo.

He was released mid-July, but is apparently struggling with the remaining conditions.

In a now deleted post, the undefeated star who this year proclaimed himself as ‘the face of boxing’ said:

Davis has been strongly linked to a rematch with Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz as his comeback bout, although no firm details have been released. It’s understood his ring return will fall in early 2024 regardless of opponent.

Cruz is just the second man from 29 to take ‘Tank’ the distance, although he lost on the cards 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112.

A stoppage win in a second fight would be an impressive way to build on the Garcia win and set Davis up for a crack at a lightweight world title, likely to be vacated by Devin Haney – who is moving up a division – in due course.

A big fight with Shakur Stevenson remains the most intriguing option for the Baltimore puncher at 135.

It’s been a while since Gervonta Davis was released from prison. The fighter spent a total of 44 days behind bars after he failed to comply with the court’s home detention orders. The court sentenced the fighter to a 90-day home detention at his trainer, Calvin Ford’s house. However, as per records, he moved to a luxury hotel and to a new home, prompting him to spend the rest of his sentence at the Baltimore jail.

Ever since his release, the fighter has embarked on a journey of healing and building back what he lost.

Gervonta Davis Back to the Horizon, Fans Concur

Amidst his strenuous court hearings, ‘Tank’ Davis undertook the most important fight of his career to date. In his bout against Ryan Garcia at the T-Mobile Arena of Las Vegas, he emerged victorious through a scathing knockout. However, this April fight of his was the last. A fighter in his ultimate prime disappeared from the ring, and the realm was not happy.

Now that Tank’s sentence in the case has elapsed, a new uproar echoes through the boxing world: questions about his return to the ring. As conjectures surface, the fighter said, “Trill never changes, that’s why I learned to embrace it..Revenge how I show my anger, my facial expression ain’t changin!” His ability to bounce back from his legal shortcomings has instilled a sense of resilience in him. His post etched with these words featuring him in the backdrop of his car has sparked a conversation among well-wishers.

In the realm of opulence, few can rival the grandeur displayed by boxing’s elite. Gervonta Davis, fresh from his colossal $22.8 million feat from the mammoth showdown against Ryan Garcia. A fight that impressively sold over 1.2 million pay-per-view units, raking in a staggering gate revenue, has showcased another dimension of his lavish lifestyle.

Gervonta Davis and the $2 million sparkle

Gervonta Davis, affectionately known as ‘Tank’, has recently drawn attention for a lavish purchase that is reminiscent of the lifestyles of boxing’s most elite. In a move that mirrors the opulence of his mentor, Floyd Mayweather, Davis unveiled on Instagram a staggering $2 million diamond necklace. His caption, simple yet impactful, read, “2 Million 🤙.”

With his stoppage win over Ryan Garcia back in April, Gervonta Davis established himself as one of the biggest stars in the sport as well as one of the greatest fighters of this generation.

A recent social media post from Davis has revealed who he believes is the best of all time – and it’s someone he knows quite well.

From his professional debut, the Baltimore puncher was a protege of five weight champion, pay per view star and all time great Floyd Mayweather and a leading light of Mayweather Promotions.

And ‘Tank’ has shared a text message exchange between himself and Mayweather, where the 28 year old tells ‘Money’ that he was “the best to ever do it.”

Although everything between the pair seems nice and rosey now, Mayweather and Davis have not always been the best of friends.

An anonymous text message was sent to the media back in 2022 that Davis was no longer affiliated with Mayweather Promotions, then an official announcement before his fight with Rolando Romero.

Though the pair have not reunited just yet, Davis has not ruled it out and Mayweather has spoken fondly of his former charge, describing him on numerous occasions as being like a son to him.

‘Tank’ has not boxed since the Garcia fight, mainly due to having to serve a jail term over the summer that saw momentum in his career take a brief halt.

However, the three weight world champion is expected to be back in the ring in early 2024, with a host of big money fights potentially available in and around the lightweight division.
