Following Gervonta Davis’ victory over Mario Barrios, Floyd Mayweather said that Davis will continue to fight “in-house” and not on other rival platforms.

Davis has now become a big deal at 140 lbs and even adjacent weight classes like 130, 135, and 150. With a win over previously undefeated Barrios, fans are now rooting for new and exciting matchups for Davis with elite boxers like Ryan Garcia, Josh Taylor, Teofimo Lopez, and Devin Haney.

However, Floyd Mayweather’s recent comments during Davis’ post-fight press conference might squander hopes for him to engage in cross-promotion matchups, at least for the time being.

It seems Floyd has plans for Davis to continue fighting boxers at PBC and Mayweather Promotions over switching to other promotions and networks.

What is next for Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis?

In January 2021, Ryan Garcia surprised fans with a teaser for a mega-fight with Gervonta Davis; however, the buzz around this fight has since died down. With Davis’ recent win against Barrios, and with Ryan Garcia coming off a win against Luke Campbell, a potential matchup between the two undefeated champs at 135 lbs would be a perfect fit and a fan favorite.

Prior to the Barrios fight, Gervonta Davis appeared on the Last Stand Podcast and shot down the idea of a matchup with Garcia.
