Gervonta Davis: record, next fight and profile →







For many, a fight between Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Shakur Stevenson is one of the best that can be made in the sport – and that was before this week’s bad-blooded exchanges on social media.


Gervonta Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) has taken to social media and urged Ryan Garcia to retire from the sport following his emphatic victory over Devin Haney.

A few years ago, as Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez, and Gervonta Davis were making noise as undefeated 135 pound contenders, I somewhat rashly and publicly dubbed them the “Four Princes.” It was deliberately evocative and provocative, bestowed in the hope that this talented quartet would cross each other's paths with the frequency of Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Marvin Hagler, whose multiple, classic encounters earned them the sobriquet of the “Four Kings.”
