26-year-old Gervonta Davis is not just an undefeated multi-weight champion, but he is also a superstar boxer who grabs attention from beyond the limits of the combat world. With several high-light reel KOs on board, ‘Tank’ has successfully turned himself into a top-tier fighter. Hence, he deserves all the attention and accolades that he is receiving.

While Gervonta Davis still has a long way to walk, the Baltimore native, backed by Mayweather Promotions, is already making millions from his professional appearances.

Gervonta Davis- The Tank Army is taking over the boxing world

Davis made his boxing debut in 2013 and joined hands with the Mayweather Promotions in 2015. As of now, he is one of the biggest stars of the organization. That said, he is also fortunate to be under the guidance of Floyd Mayweather. One of the greatest boxers ever, Mayweather promotes ‘Tank’ to the fullest and never refrains from praising the young knockout artist. Floyd Mayweather is not new to boxing fans, and having him as a guide has nourished Davis’s career thoroughly.

The CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, is also the guide to Davis’ business moves. Following a win over Leo Santa Cruz last year, ‘Tank’ can continue headlining all of his fights from this point. Hence, it seems an upgrade for the unbeaten youngster.
