Also, in his charismatic boxing run, Davis has contended with some of the best pugilists and he wishes to do the same ahead.

For now, he’s shifted his attention to the super-lightweight roster. On June 26th, he will compete against Mario Barrios for the WBA super-lightweight title. Slowly and steadily, Davis is climbing the ladders of success and is hungry for more.

Additionally, competing against bigwigs of boxing will only strengthen his resume. That said, a fight against someone as elite as Canelo Alvarez will unquestionably be a career-defining fight for ‘Tank’.
