Gervonta Davis: record, next fight and profile →

WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney is not bothered by the recent statements which came from Gervonta 'Tank' Davis, who holds the WBA 'regular' title at 135-pounds.

Gervonta Davis wants to prove what he believes in his heart, that he is the best lightweight in boxing. When asked after his points victory over Isaac Cruz which opponent he’d be excited to fight in 2022, Davis didn’t mention anyone by name. It was clear, though, that he referred to George Kambosos Jr., Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.

Floyd Mayweather admitted Isaac Cruz won some rounds against Gervonta Davis. Yet even Cruz knows, according to Mayweather, that he didn’t do enough to upset the unbeaten Baltimore native two weeks ago at Staples Center. The aggressive, rugged Cruz gave Davis the most difficult fight of his eight-year pro career, but Davis (26-0, 24 KOs) won their 12-round fight for the Davis’ WBA world lightweight title by unanimous decision.

Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz has hit back at some of the recent critical statements from unbeaten lightweight contender Ryan Garcia - with respect to Cruz's fight against WBA "regular" champion Gervonta 'Tank' Davis from last Sunday in Los Angeles.

NEW YORK – Vasiliy Lomachenko would still love to fight Gervonta Davis. The former unified lightweight champion is pretty certain, though, that the feeling isn’t mutual. Lomachenko was the only high-profile lightweight who wasn’t even mentioned as a potential opponent for Davis during a post-fight press conference Sunday night, after Davis defeated Mexican contender Isaac Cruz by unanimous decision in what was the most difficult fight of the unbeaten Baltimore native’s eight-year pro career.

Josh Taylor has dismissed a future meeting with Teofimo Lopez following his upset loss to George Kambosos, who walked away with the IBF, WBC Franchise, WBA, WBO lightweight straps.

LOS ANGELES – The way Gervonta Davis and his team see it, if Ryan Garcia actually wanted to fight him, it would’ve happened earlier this year.

Gervonta 'Tank' Davis entered talks for his most recent fight with three different divisional titles in tow. That load has been reduced to one. The unbeaten southpaw has formally relinquished the WBA “World” junior welterweight title, the sanctioning body confirmed Tuesday. The development comes in the wake of Davis’ most recent win, outlasting a determined Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz (22-2-1, 15KOs) to successfully defend his WBA “World” lightweight title this past Sunday at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES — Gervonta Davis replacement opponent Isaac Cruz exceeded expectations when the two lightweights squared off at Staples Center on Sunday night for their Showtime pay-per-view headlining fight.

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - I’m as much a fan of nostalgic references as anyone. But no, the fighters campaigning to be the man at lightweight these days ought to remind precisely no one of the “Four Kings” era from the 1980s. Lest anyone without a YouTube account forget, the quartet that campaigned in boxing’s last truly great generation included Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns and Ray Leonard and won virtually every meaningful fight from welterweight to middleweight from 1980 to 1987.
