UFC featherweight contender Max Holloway is calling for a cross-sport boxing match with Gervonta "Tank" Davis.

Davis got the most high profile win of his career last Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, when he knocked out Ryan Garcia in seven rounds.

The Showtime Pay-Per-View generated a monster number with 1.2 million buys, and a gate of 22 million at the venue.

Floyd Mayweather, who is Davis' mentor and former promoter, retired in 2017 after taking part in a mega-fight with UFC superstar Conor McGregor. The event, which saw Mayweather stop McGregor in ten rounds, generated over 4 million pay-per-view buys - and became one of the most lucrative events in combat sports history.

Holloway believes Davis ready for a cross-sport fight of his own. 

“Let’s make a big fight with ‘Tank’ or something. Floyd Mayweather and ‘Tank,’ ‘Tank’ is following Floyd Mayweather’s recipe to the key,” Holloway told The MMA Hour. “So, why not fight an MMA guy and we do a big one? I can sh!t talk to him.

"Just don’t put no hydration clause in it like how he did to my man Garcia. That would be a fun one. “Everybody talking about that shot [KO punch against Garcia] like, ‘Oh, he would have got up, blah, blah,’ I’m like, ‘Bro, the hydration clause is real,’ He couldn’t rehydrate properly and that shot, it might not look hard, but to a dehydrated body that hurts a lot.

"That shot probably hurts a lot even if you’re not dehydrated. So, I can only imagine, man. And it came out the same day that he had a rat and he actually got hurt to the body and that sucks. At the end of the day, that was tough but I would love to do a big one. Maybe do [T-Mobile Arena] like they did the Conor [McGregor] stuff.”

The fight scenario is very unlikely to happen.

Since Mayweather-McGregor, UFC President Dana White has expressed zero interest in allowing his athletes to take part in cross-sport fights.
