As things stand, Gervonta Davis‘ boxing future is murkier than ever. No one know what exactly is going through the mind of “Tank“, but the idea of walking away from the sport has weighed on him over the past year. He first mentioned the possibility before his fight against Frank Martin in June of 2024.
A middling performance against a surprising Lamont Roach Jr. has some high-profile boxers lining up to get a shot at Tank. Shakur Stevenson is the biggest one of them all, putting pressure on Davis through the media space. It’s a fight fans want to see, but Stevenson may never actually get the chance, because Davis might not fight again
Gervonta Davis reportedly is retiring from boxing… or is he?
Boxing agent and insider Rick Glaser dropped a bombshell this week, claiming that Davis is retiring because he is “supposedly fed up with boxing”. Glaser believes he won’t fight again, at least until “his money runs low”. Glaser cited “several very reliable sources”, so it’s not just a random report.
Despite Glaser’s insistence, members of Tank’s team have come out to dispute it. One of his trainers, Kenny Ellis, called it “fake news”.
No one is quite sure what to make of all of it, but clearly Davis’ future is fully up in the air. By the sound of it, Davis is just waiting for a big-money offer in order to make a decision on how he will continue his career.
In the meantime, he has legal troubles he has to get through anyway. Until those are resolved, he won’t be fighting in a ring anytime soon.
