Devin Haney Says Tank Davis Fight Is Biggest In Boxing

By
Gervonta-Davis

Devin Haney disagrees with Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe about it being too soon for a fight between him and Gervonta Davis. Haney thinks that a match between him and Tank is the biggest in boxing right now and doesn’t need to be marinated for years & years in order to extract as much money from the public. The Mayweather Promotions marination model hurts the sport, as it prevents big fights involving the only star in their stable from fighting the opposition that fans want to see him against. Obviously,  they’re assuming that because marinating worked for Floyd with his mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao, it will work with their flagship fighter Tank Davis, who has yet to fight an A-level fighter during his 10-year pro career. Financially, it worked for Mayweather to let the Pacquiao fight marinate until both guys were old. It wasn’t a good deal for the fans, as they paid $100 per household on PPV to watch a boring contest involving a gunshy Manny and Floyd using his normal safety-first style
You have to wonder whether Showtime Boxing would be getting dropped if Tank Davis had been fighting the guys that fans have wanted to see him fight for the last ten years instead of an assortment of old-washed fighters and bottom-barrel-fringe contenders. Some fans believe PBC & Mayweather Promotions are protecting their investment with Tank Davis together most money possible out of him by putting him in against beatable opposition and steering him away from fighters like Haney (30-0,15 KOs)  & Shakur Stevenson until he’s at the end of his career with nothing left. “I’m willing to do what it takes to make the biggest fights happen. I’ve proven that. I’ve signed with other networks and promoters to make the fights happen,” said Devin Haney to Fighthype on whether he would sign with Mayweather Promotions & PBC to get the Gervonta Davis fight. Will Mayweather Promotions let Tank Davis fight Haney if he looks bad & loses to RegisPrograis on December 9th? If they’re willing to match Tank against fighters like Ryan Garcia, a boxer/influencer, and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, they’ll gladly put him in with Haney if he’s coming off a loss to Prograis.

After all, if they drag their feet any longer, it could be too late to make the fight if Haney loses to Prograis and a couple of other guys at 140. He arguably lost his last fight against Vasily Lomachenko. There are four or five fighters in the 140-lb division that would likely beat Haney and send his career plummeting. “So, we got to see what position I’m in if they were to offer a fight. At times, I could do that, and sometimes, I  couldn’t do that as far as jumping over whatever. “But I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make the biggest fights happen. I think so,” said Haney when asked if a fight between him and Tank Davis is the biggest fight in boxing.

“He Was Going Out the Door”: Despite Canelo Alvarez’s Jermell Charlo Win, Gervonta Davis Remains Adamant on Self-Proclaimed “Face of Boxing” Remarks

By
Gervonta Tank Davis

The boxing world can’t stop talking about the victory of Canelo Alvarez over Jermell Charlo. As famous, ‘Cinnamon’ beat Jermell Charlo and kept his super middleweight title. Charlo had moved up two weight classes, confident in giving Canelo a tough fight, but struggled during the bout. We don’t know if it was the weight change, lack of recent fights, or just facing a formidable opponent that caused Charlo’s loss.

Alvarez took control from the start. He knocked Charlo down in round seven, showing he’s still at his best and shunning the critics for his past performances. As a reason, many think this victory makes him the face of boxing. However, Gervonta Davis, another top champion, disagrees. In a recent interview with Fight Hype, ‘Tank’ unraveled why he’s still the face of boxing despite Canelo’s lopsided win against ‘Iron Man.’

Why does Gervonta Davis think he’s “the face of boxing”?

According to Davis, Alvarez’s win was great but not spotlight-stealing. Davis believes the sport’s face must show dominance and showmanship. He thinks these qualities are part of his own style. As ‘Tank’ said, “for sure, I think I’m the face of boxing already if we being real. I think I’m the face of boxing right now. I think with Canelo going out the door, all the top guys, I mean. Canelo’s probably the only one, but he’s going out the door.”

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – APRIL 23: CAPTION at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

When the interviewer asked what he thinks it takes to be the ‘face’ of boxing, he gave a detailed answer. He said, “Just every time I’m in there, just put on a great performance, you know. Just go out there and put on a great performance. That’s, I think that’s what make me, what make me that star over everybody. ‘Cause people be winning, but they, you watching them and they be like, first of all, they go 12 rounds. Not saying 12 rounds is bad, but it just like how they do it. Like they run and they think it’s still amateur boxing and things like that. Like, come on.”

Who’s Tank aiming next to make his legacy irrefutable?

According to Boxing Social, Calvin Ford, Davis’s trainer, recently revealed the mega fight Davis is aiming for next. The focus is on a potential bout between Davis and Teofimo Lopez, a two-weight world champion. Both fighters have a long history, tracing back to their days in the American amateur ranks. He said it’s not a question of “if,” but “when.” Both fighters have sparred before, adding intrigue to a future pro bout. Ford believes the fight will happen after they clear other challenges.

He wants Lopez to keep his 140-pound class spot, while Davis holds his. Both fighters are at career highs after recent wins. Davis beat Ryan Garcia, and Lopez defeated Josh Taylor. However, there are still logistical hurdles in the fight’s manifestation. These include promoter and broadcasting issues that need resolution before scheduling the fight.

The boxing ring is as much a stage for personalities as it is for athletes. While Canelo Alvarez’s recent win over Jermell Charlo was a significant milestone, Gervonta Davis remains steadfast in his belief that he is the true “Face of Boxing.” With upcoming fights and plans to diversify his boxing portfolio, Davis is not just talking the talk; he’s walking the walk.

So, who do you think is the real face of boxing—Canelo Alvarez or Gervonta Davis? Or is there room for more than one star in this arena?

Gervonta Davis Sends Defiant Message To His Doubters In ‘Face Of Boxing’ Debate

By
Garvonta Davis

Gevonta ‘Tank’ Davis has been vocal throughout 2023 about his belief that he has adopted the position as the ‘face’ of the sport following on from his blockbuster win over fellow pay-per-view superstar, Ryan Garcia.

His case was coupled with the supposed steady decline of former pound-for-pound number one, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Now, ‘Tank’ has doubled down on those claims, despite an improved display from Canelo over Jermell Charlo recently.

Alvarez has been widely regarded as the ‘face of boxing’ in recent years. However, disappointing performances against Dmitry Bivol, Gennadiy Golovkin and John Ryder appeared to open the door for a new poster boy. Davis’ win over Garcia convinced some fans that he had overtaken the Mexican in terms of superstardom, and he said so himself in his post-fight interview.

Gervonta Davis

This weekend, fans witnessed a resurgence from Canelo, who comfortably outpointed undisputed super-welterweight champion, Jermell Charlo, without ever really looking to be in danger.

The performance, although dominant, extended his run to four fights without a knockout win and equalling the longest stoppage drought of his career since 2008.

After Alvarez’ win, Davis maintains that he is the ‘face of boxing’, responding to a fan on social media who claimed he was a ‘nobody’ outside of the lightweight division.

Many will claim that, for Davis to truly confirm his position, the 28-year-old power-puncher needs to hold a full world title.

Now, with Devin Haney potentially set to vacate all of his 135lbs belts, Davis’ WBA Regular title will either see him upgraded to become the true world champion or he will fight for the vacant title, perhaps against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, who he beat in 2021.
