Photo: Gervonta Davis / Instagram Gervonta Davis , known as Tank in the boxing world, has shocked fans by hinting at his retirement. After an impressive career with 30 undefeated fights and 28 knockouts, the 30-year-old says he’s tired of boxing and plans to leave the sport in 2025. Davis was set to defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach Jr. on December 14 in Houston but the fight has now been moved to March 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. This fight may mark the end of Tank’s career as he prepares his farewell. In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Davis said: "After next year, I'm out of this... out of the sport." He went on to express frustration with boxing: "It's garbage... This shit is garbage, garbage... Fed up. Fed up with all the shit." Photo: Gervonta Davis / Instagram Despite this decision, Davis isn’t concerned about his legacy. In another interview with Fight Hype, he declared: "I don't even care about that, ...

While trainers often stay in the background, Davis' coach is stepping into the spotlight, targeting one of the sport's greatest.  Mayweather, who famously claimed, "I'm the best, nobody can beat me," retired with an undefeated 50-0 record. He has faced and defeated big names like Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez , and has never been knocked down by an opponent. Photo: Instagram/Floyd Mayweather   On Instagram, Davis' trainer wrote, "Gervonta Davis can decode the shoulder roll if Floyd can fight another exhibition. He can fight another fight if he is great as he says he is. Let's stop spinning the fans, Gervonta vs Floyd." Davis was once part of Mayweather Productions, but since leaving in 2022, tensions have risen, making a potential...

This clash happened after Gervonta Davis ' knockout win over Frank Martin at the MGM Grand. The fight between Plant and Garcia has been brewing for weeks, both online and off. Ryan Garcia, known for his speed and knockout power, has been stirring things up since his return to the ring. After beating Devin Haney and overcoming mental health struggles, Garcia seemed on the rise again despite a doping scandal . Photo: Instagram|Caleb Plant   The bad blood between Garcia and Plant grew worse when Garcia made comments about Plant's wife on social media. Plant, upset by these remarks, had warned Garcia before the Davis vs. Martin fight. "Talking is one thing, but when you talk about another man's wife, it’s different," Plant...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Gervonta Davis has shared his picks for the greatest boxers ever, listing Mike Tyson , Floyd Mayweather , and Muhammad Ali. This comes despite recent online clashes with Mayweather, his former mentor. Davis and Mayweather split in 2022. Even though they've been trading insults since then, Davis still respects Mayweather’s legacy. Mayweather, undefeated at 50-0, dominated boxing in the modern era. He won 15 major world titles across multiple weight classes and retired in 2017 after a huge fight with UFC star Conor McGregor . Mike Tyson, known for his powerful punches, was a dominant heavyweight champion. He faced top fighters like Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. Tyson retired in 2005 but remains a boxing icon and will fight Jake Paul at age 58 in November . Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Muhammad Ali is often considered the greatest boxer ever. He held the heavyweight title from 1974 to 1978 and fought legendary bouts, including the "Rumb...

Photo: Instagram/Devin Haney Devin Haney strongly disagrees with Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe when it comes to the timing of a potential fight between himself and Gervonta "Tank" Davis . He firmly believes that a showdown between him and Tank is currently the most significant event in the world of boxing and doesn't require years of marination to maximize its financial potential. He criticizes the Mayweather Promotions approach, which often delays big fights involving their star fighters, preventing fans from witnessing the matchups they desire. Haney points out that this strategy worked for Floyd Mayweather against Manny Pacquiao but wasn't satisfying for fans who paid a hefty price for a less-than-exciting bout. The frustration extends to Tank Davis, who has yet to face top-tier opponents despite his ten-year professional career.

Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia Ryan Garcia has officially confirmed that he earned a staggering $30 million from his high-profile bout against Gervonta Davis , which headlined the Showtime PPV event in April. The fight proved to be a massive financial success, raking in a total of $100 million in revenue. Speculation arises that Davis likely received a purse ranging from $40 to $50 million, potentially leading to his absence from the ring this year. Given the substantial payday Davis received, some question whether he will be motivated enough to return to action soon, especially after his effortless seventh-round knockout victory over Garcia . The latter endured a liver shot and took a knee, prompting concerns about his willingness to challenge Davis again. Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia Oscar De La Hoya also revealed Garcia's $30 million earnings, although he expressed concerns about the 136-lb catchweight that Garcia had agreed to, as it seemed to weaken him during the fight. Never...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Gervonta 'Tank' Davis , who recently completed his jail sentence for an alleged hit and run , has emerged looking quite different. Sporting a beard, atrophied physique, and long hair , Davis appears to have lost weight during his time behind bars. Despite his altered appearance, the 'Face of Boxing' is now free to resume his professional career. Observers have noted that Davis bears a resemblance to Shawn Porter, with his blowout afro and beard, although he lacks Porter's penchant for flashy attire. It remains unclear whether Davis intentionally adopted this new look or simply does not concern himself with his appearance. Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Regardless, he now has the opportunity to return to his recently acquired multimillion-dollar penthouse apartment. While Davis prepares to reignite his boxing career, he must exercise caution on the roads to avoid another incarceration. Another car accident and subsequent jail time wou...

Photo: Instagram/Mike Tyson Renowned heavyweight legend Mike Tyson , once hailed as "The Baddest Man On The Planet" during the late 1980s, has recently identified the new torchbearer of boxing's "bad boy" persona. In a conversation on his podcast Hotboxin', Tyson bestowed the title upon Gervonta Davis , a three-weight world champion known for his ferocious punches. It's hard to dispute Tyson's judgment, considering his own reputation in the sport. During the podcast discussion with guest Stephen A. Smith , Tyson referred to Davis as the "bad boy" of boxing. This accolade seems fitting given Davis' aggressive style both inside and outside the ring. Photo: Instagram/Mike Tyson While Smith acknowledged Davis' menacing demeanor, he was also quick to acknowledge the 28-year-old's often-underappreciated boxing skills. As a professional fighter, Davis has remained undefeated, and only two of his 29 opponents have lasted until the final...

Photo: Instagram/Teofimo Lopez Teofimo Lopez strongly criticized Gervonta Davis for his tactics involving rehydration clauses and catchweights, which he believes are designed to weaken opponents and secure victories. Teofimo did not hold back when expressing his views on how Davis exploits his popularity to gain an unfair advantage over his opponents. Surprisingly, despite his recent retirement announcement following his victory over Josh Taylor , Teofimo has no interest in fighting Davis. He stated that if he were to face Davis, he would constantly postpone the fight, subjecting him to prolonged waiting periods. It is unclear where Teofimo derived this notion from, as Davis does not have a history of repeatedly delaying fights. Photo: Instagram/Teofimo Lopez However, Teofimo's reservations seem to have solidified his decision not to engage with Davis. Teofimo's comments may suggest that he has concocted an imaginary scenario driven by his deepest fears, treating it as a real...

Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia Ryan Garcia has expressed his disappointment with his own team following his defeat to Gervonta 'Tank' Davis last April. According to Ryan, some members of his team did not show up at the post-fight press conference, leaving him to face the media alone. This experience made him realize that Davis' team seemed to care more about him than his own team did.   Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia As a result, Ryan decided to part ways with his trainer Joe Goosen and has reportedly not spoken to his promoter Oscar De La Hoya , who was absent from the press conference. Ryan believes that someone within his training camp betrayed him by providing information about his preparations to Davis' team. Although he does not reveal the identity of this person, Ryan is certain that they will not be given a second chance to betray him. He has now enlisted the services of a new trainer, Derrick James , and plans to work with different sparring partners for his next...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Gervonta Davis , the professional boxer and holder of the WBA (Regular) lightweight title, has been taken into custody to serve the remaining portion of his 90-day sentence in jail. The decision came after a judge, Althea Handy, held an impromptu court hearing on Thursday, where she made the ruling. Davis had initially been ordered on May 5 to serve three months of home detention for his involvement in a hit-and-run crash in 2020 that caused injuries to four individuals, including a pregnant woman. Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Alongside the home detention, Handy also mandated that Davis complete 200 hours of community service, a program at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, and participate in a Mothers Against Drunk Driving victim impact panel. During his home detention, Davis had been residing at the residence of his trainer, Calvin Ford, after reportedly purchasing a penthouse condominium worth $3.4 million in Baltimore. Last month, prosecutors...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Gervonta Davis , the boxer who faced domestic violence allegations, has now had the case against him officially dropped, as reported by TMZ . This development comes five months after Vanessa Posso , the mother of Davis' daughter, publicly retracted her allegations in a statement on Instagram. According to prosecutors quoted by TMZ, Davis will still be required to complete an anger management course and a parenting class as part of the resolution.  Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis has faced numerous legal challenges, with one in particular posing an ongoing risk of significant imprisonment in recent years. In December of the previous year, Davis was arrested in Florida on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. The incident report from the Broward County Sheriff's Office stated that he allegedly struck a woman with a "closed hand-type slap," resulting in an abrasion on her lip.  TMZ also released a recording of a 911 call made by the all...

Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul Jake Paul has criticized Floyd Mayweather for setting a precedent of avoiding high-risk fights to maintain an undefeated record in boxing. Paul's comments were made in an interview with Sky Sports F1 ahead of his fight with former UFC fighter Nate Diaz . Paul expressed frustration that many big fighters are unwilling to put their records and belts on the line by fighting against other well-known fighters. Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul's rise in the boxing world, from viral videos to viral knockouts. He argues that Mayweather's retirement with a 50-0 record has contributed to this trend. Paul stated that "if you lose, you're kind of swept under the rug in boxing," and that it is important for more champions to fight other big names, like Ryan Garcia did when he faced Tank Gervonta Davis , even if they ultimately lose. Paul recently lost his own record after being defeated by Tommy Fury in a highly publicized bout. However, he remain...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Reports indicate that Gervonta Davis , a prominent boxer, has been sentenced to 90 days of house arrest and 200 hours of community service following a hit-and-run accident in November 2020 that injured four people. Davis pleaded guilty to four traffic offences in February of this year, including leaving the scene of an accident involving bodily injury, driving with a revoked license, running a red light, and failing to notify of property damage. The probation period will last three years. A pregnant woman was among those injured in the incident.

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Gervonta Davis , the WBA "regular" lightweight champion, recently won against Ryan Garcia in a Showtime Pay-Per-View fight, and he credits his former promoter and five-division world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. , for providing him with key advice. Davis had been promoted by Mayweather's company, Mayweather Promotions, for most of his career until his contract expired last year. He then started his own promotional company, GTD Promotions, and had Leonard Ellerbe as his adviser for the Garcia fight. Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis owes much of his success to the guidance and support of his mentor Floyd Mayweather, who has helped him become one of the best fighters in the world. However, Mayweather was also present at the event and offered Davis words of encouragement throughout the fight. Davis dropped Garcia in the second round and finished him off with a heavy body shot in the seventh round. After the fight, Davis praised Mayweather fo...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis In the main event of the Showtime Pay-Per-View, Gervonta Davis emerged victorious against Ryan Garcia at T-Mobile Arena with a technical knockout at 1:44 of the seventh round. Davis knocked Garcia down twice, with the second knockdown coming in the seventh round, due to a perfectly placed left to the body. This caused Garcia to take a knee, and he couldn't respond to the referee's count in time. Baltimore's Davis, who was slightly more than a 2-1 favorite, has now knocked out 93 percent of his opponents overall, including 19 of his last 20 opponents. Garcia lost for the first time in nearly seven years as a pro. Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis proves his power in a stunning knockdown during round 7 of their epic showdown.

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis  Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia have a history of heated exchanges, with Davis previously dismissing Garcia as a tenuous opponent and a child. However, Davis has now acknowledged Garcia's growth as a boxer, recognizing him as one of the most lethal punchers in the sport and his most challenging opponent yet. The two are set to face off on April 22nd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, in what promises to be an exciting main event. Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis  Garcia's recent string of impressive victories, including a sixth-round stoppage of Javier Fortuna , has caught Davis's attention. Davis himself has faced tough opponents such as Leo Santa Cruz , Mario Barrios , and Isaac Cruz , but he believes that Garcia's height, reach, and punching power make him the toughest opponent he has ever faced. Despite being viewed as the solid favorite for the fight, Davis is not underestimating his opponent's abilities. Instead, he is...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis/Ryan Garcia  After years of avoiding Ryan Garcia 's brazen offers to fight, Gervonta Davis has finally accepted the challenge and will face Garcia in the ring on April 22nd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Davis initially refused to fight Garcia due to his age and inexperience, but Garcia's recent development and improvement caught Davis's attention, and he is now ready to face him. In Garcia's last fight against Javier Fortuna, he made it look easy, dropping Fortuna multiple times before stopping him in the sixth round. Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis  Davis believes that their upcoming showdown is coming at the perfect time, saying, "I think he's at his peak right now. It's probably now or never." Despite his recent success, Davis has not been sitting idly by. After shutting down Rolando "Rolly" Romero in July 2022, he kicked off his 2023 with a victory over Hector Luis Garcia, where he found the fight-e...
