Tank Davis Is Looking To Return This Summer In The United Kingdom
BREAKING: Tank Davis Is Looking To Return This Summer In The United Kingdom
The Ring has learned that Gervonta “Tank” Davis is planning a summer return in the United Kingdom, multiple sources confirmed. Davis, the 29-year-old power punching southpaw, is viewed as the face of boxing. He will return after over a year out of the ring.
With Premier Boxing Champions’ multi-year deal with Amazon Prime Video in December, 2023, Davis will be a headlining attraction to the new venture.
He saw a very promising 2023 derailed when he pled guilty in May 2023 to four counts of traffic violations stemming from a November 2020 crash that injured four people.
The Ring’s No. 2-rated lightweight contender, Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) last fought on April 22, 2023, when he stopped Ryan Garcia in seven rounds in a lightweight megafight in Las Vegas that drew 1.2 million pay-per-view buys.
Tank handed Garcia’s his first defeat, after beginning 2023 by handing Hector Luis Garcia his first career setback in January 2023.
No opponent is set yet.
Davis has a history of fighting in England. In May 2017, he knocked out Liam Walsh in three in his first IBF junior lightweight title defense at the Copper Box Arena, in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in Middlesex.
Davis is one of boxing’s prime attractions. Despite a truncated 2023, he was among the top nominees for Fighter of the Year by RingTV.com and the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA).
The success of the 1.2 million pay-per-view buys for the Davis-Garcia fight is a good indication.
A million buys are considered today’s gold standard in the pay-per-view world. Davis-Garcia took place before a sellout crowd of 20,842 at the T-Mobile Arena. The gate revenue was $22.8 million. The 1.2 million Davis-Garcia buys translated to $102 million, and a total revenue of $136.8 million when considering merchandise sales, international sales and commercial revenue—and that’s an estimate on the low side. The total promotion generated close to $150 million.
The fight took place among a sea of celebrities—the kind Mike Tyson used to draw in his prime. The T-Mobile Arena was filled with NFL stars, like the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, movie stars and A-listers galore.
According to multiple sources who know the fighter, Davis has been back diligently training and working hard to return this summer in the United Kingdom.

Re: Tank Davis Is Looking To Return This Summer In The United Kingdom
Yes, I’d love to see him fight in the UK, and I’d probably go depending on who he’s fighting ( no flyweight jokes plz ) For me he’s one of the most exciting boxers around - the type of power that reminds of Prince Naz, although he might even be better because he can actually box. Maybe the face of boxing to a certain extent in America, judging by the people who turn out to watch him..instagram face maybe
some of his antics are rough around the edges to put it mildly, but the way I see it is, with 2 deadbeat crack addict parents, it’s a miracle he’s made it this far, neither dead nor serving years in prison
But this news has really come out of left field
I mean why is he fighting in the UK? who would he be fighting over here what’s the attraction? Is it Frank or Eddie pulling the strings…
Great to see Amazon Prime stepping up after failing with tennis over the last couple of years. These guys are clearly suckers for punishment.
And they put their new star Rolly Romero in where he’s definitely getting flattened first time out..

Re: Tank Davis Is Looking To Return This Summer In The United Kingdom
nobody laughs at Campbell, he came up the hard way, no backing, no family to support him. Put some respect on his name. All he had to eat as a child was soup. That's why they call it Campbell's soup out of respect for the warrior.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑29 Jan 2024, 16:49![]()

hahahah phew! I do think Campbell seems a remarkably nice chap for someone who grew up in luxury, but his dad was down to earth. He's had gifts his whole career though and there are 100s of people better than him.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑29 Jan 2024, 17:04Lol obviously I knowJust playing along.

Ive literally never heard of him
Re: Tank Davis Is Looking To Return This Summer In The United Kingdom
His out of the ring behavior is a concern.
Any promotor would be nervous in signing him up for a bout that involved international travel.

randomly, his trainer is the person they based Cutty from The Wire on. My favourite show. Not sure Cutty would have approved of the DV.
