It has been nearly seven months since Gervonta Davis fought Ryan Garcia with his WBA Lightweight title on the line. Following this bout, as Davis continued to remain a threat in the Lightweight division, Garcia hurriedly moved up to 140 lbs. With Garcia defeated and gone, and the likes of Rolando Romero, Isaac Cruz, and Mario Barrios beaten, it is time that Gervonta “Tank” Davis faces the likes of Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney.
However, Team Davis has yet to confirm their next fight. But while fans eagerly await Gervonta’s next opponent, the 29-year-old keeps his fans entertained with his messages and photos of hardcore training.
