BIG NEWS! Gervonta Davis IMPRESSED WITH HIS ADVANTAGE BEFORE FIGHT Shakur Stevenson Devin Haney Gervonta Davis Breaks Silence On Possible Crawford Fight: “I’m The Face Of Boxing” Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis made headlines recently when a resurfaced video clip showed him saying he would easily knockout out pound-for-pound superstar, Terence Crawford. The undisputed welterweight champion, coming off a career-best victory over Errol Spence Jr, responded by saying he would welcome ‘Tank’ in the ring, urging the Baltimore native to ‘see what happens’ when he tried to ‘touch his chin.’ Davis is coming off a good victory of his own, a stoppage of Ryan Garcia in April of this year seeing him catapult to super stardom. When asked about being ‘the face of boxing’ by DTLR Radio, the 28-year-old was humble in response. “It’s big, but I know I gotta do more work. So I keep my head down a little bit and stay focused and continue to grind.” It’s that status – self-proclaimed but also hard to argue with – that Davis believes was behind the noise of a recent match-up with Crawford. He played it off as ‘joking around.’ “Nah, it was just some talking on Twitter like back and forth that was joking around, but you know how people be – I’m the face of boxing so they make a big deal out of it.” It has been clear to most that the fight between ‘Tank’ – currently 135lbs – and Terence – 147 – is highly unlikely, made even more so by the latter’s keenness to jump up in weight rather than stay where he is and welcome anyone new. His most recent target is the winner of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Jermell Charlo at super-middleweight – an astonishing three-division jump should be get his wish. As for ‘Tank’, he said he was in a great space mentally following a brief prison stint, and hoped to get back in the ring by the end of this year or the start of next. That is widely expected to be against former foe, Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. Popular with young fans of boxing, Ryan Garcia is a rising superstar. He is known for his speed and knockout power, earning him the nickname ‘The Flash.’ However, in his last fight against ‘Tank’ (Gervonta Davis), speed could not help him. Garcia got a bitter taste of defeat for the first time ever, courtesy of a seventh-round knockout by Davis. The impressive $100 million bout took place in T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, on 22nd April 2023. What’s even more impressive is that it’s hailed as one of the greatest matches of all time. But what’s the reason behind this recognition? The Ryan and Davis fight is recorded in the books as one of the biggest fights in history. It pulled in a colossal $100 million in total revenue, with gate earnings alone accounting for an impressive $22.8 million, per a report by Adam Stern from Sports Journal. If the numbers are any evidence, the fight was up there with the greats. So, the sting of a loss of such a magnitude would be great as well. But the question is, what would Ryan do next? It’s been quite a while since his loss against Davis, but Ryan has seemingly moved forward with his goals for his career. In a recent tweet, Garcia conveyed his aspirations for the future, saying, “I’m in my vengeance arc. Be prepared!! Grinding with coach Derrick.” It’s reassuring to see that Ryan’s motivation for the future remains strong, as one loss doesn’t need to define his entire legacy. Moreover, he can follow in the steps of Manny Pacquiao, who went on to win several titles after his first loss.
