Gervonta Davis, also known as “Tank,” has captured the attention of boxing fans worldwide with his impressive speed, explosive power, and hand punching. Tank’s ability to throw lethal combinations is enhanced by his quick feet, which have already helped him become a world champion in three weight classes.
Who will Gervonta Davis fight next? Therefore, there is always curiosity related to his upcoming fights. Gervonta Davis is considered a potential star who might dominate the PPV charts in the upcoming decade, thanks to his clean knockout ability, offensive-minded fighting style, and aggressive nature.
There are several potential opponents for Davis’ next fight, given his prominent reputation. He recently secured the largest victory of his career by defeating Ryan Garcia via knockout in the seventh round, which helped elevate his status. Davis has resumed training and is now out of jail after serving a 45-day sentence. At this stage, Davis has limited choices for his upcoming fight against Gervonta.
The names of some opponents that are being discussed for Davis’ next fight are Isaac Cruz, Vasiliy Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, and Devin Haney. Stephen Espinoza from PBC is discussing the options for his next fight. It is called premature speculation at this point, but the first option discussed by Espinoza was Chris Colbert, the Interim Featherweight Champion.
Gervonta Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford has disclosed that Gervonta Davis is eager to face Davin Haney for his unquestionable lightweight championships. Nevertheless, in the super lightweight category, Haney is currently seeking an opponent. At present, Espinoza has deemed the Haney vs Davis bout impractical.
It will be interesting to see whom Davis will choose as his opponent in contention with all these fighters. Lomachenko can also be considered a good opponent to sell PPVs. Since Lomachenko’s win, his stocks have risen. Lomachenko has given the most attention to media personalities and fans, but he lost to Haney Vasiliy. If Haney moves up, it might be possible for Stevenson to look for other opponents, but Shakur Stevenson is the mandatory challenger for his WBC titles.
Gervonta Davis Next Fight Date
It will be challenging to anticipate the next fight date until a distinct adversary arises for him. Considering Davis will be released from prison in July 2023, we cannot anticipate him to be prepared for a fight prior to November.
