Gervonta Davis- Who will ‘Tank’ face next?

After the recent fight against ‘El-Azteca’, Davis’ name popped up against many 140 lbs fighters including the unified champion Josh Taylor. However, Floyd Mayweather hinted at keeping all the shows in-house which would only see ‘Tank’ face the fighters from Showtimes’ or Mayweather Promotions’ roster.

Nevertheless, Leonard Ellerbe has appeared optimistic about hosting an overseas fight for Gervonta Davis. Besides, 140  lbs top-tier boxer Regis Prograis has already called out Davis.

If that’s not all, WBC 135 lbs champion Ryan Garcia has also desired to fight ‘Tank’. Hence, there are several options available at this point.

From jumping weight classes to going for new world titles, Garcia is now at the peak of his career. But the upcoming journey may be more glittery. As of now, it’s time to analyze a few steps and then go for the next shot. That said, Davis might have to vacate one of his titles.

What do you think will be the next best move for Gervonta Davis?
