After yet another explosive knockout victory, Gervonta Davis’ stock is rising even higher. The undefeated WBA lightweight champion knocked out Leo Santa Cruz in devastating fashion to become the WBA super-featherweight champion.

The fight was on Showtime pay-per-view and received a lot of criticism. However, the fight delivered and was worthy of a pay-per-view event.

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Davis’ promoter, Floyd Mayweather, spoke about ‘Tank’ Davis’ future as a pay-per-view star. He said:

“What we have to do is, we have to talk about it on Monday with my team. Communicate with Al, communicate with Lenny and my PBC team, my Mayweather promotions team. And talk with Showtime’s Steven Espinoza and see what we come up with.”

The legend of the sport who represents the young superstar said, “We don’t know what the future hold. But we do know this [guy] is a future star.” Mayweather believes Gervonta could headline many more events in the future.
