Gervonta Davis is one of the most intriguing boxing prospects present today. He has numerous skill sets in his bag due to which he has hammered every opponent he’s faced. He’s showing no signs of slowing down at all and is looking a wider picture to be the greatest of the sport.

But when will the undefeated boxer again step inside the squared circle?

Recently, Davis took it to his official Twitter to provide a timeline for his return. “Oct, I’m back,” he wrote.

Davis, in his sheer war against Barrios, showcased vast prowess from his artillery. In the initial rounds themselves, he began his assault and traded substantial punches with his fellow adversary. However, in the mid-rounds, ‘Tank’ lost his momentum a bit, and he faced the wrath of Barrios’ power.

But as he realized the same, he picked up the pace and shook his fellow contemporary with thunderous hits. As a result, Barrios fell prey to ‘Tank’s vicious power in round 11 and he ended up giving that fight to Davis.

Both of them have exchanged an enormous war of words with each other. And have also challenged each other for a fight.

However, a 12-round encounter between these two hasn’t reached fruition. But it seems that this might just be the ideal time for these two to collide.

But in order to face Garcia, Davis will have to notch down, as ‘King Ry’ is a lightweight for now. With that, it’ll be intriguing to see how things shape up for this pair in the coming time.
