Report: Gervonta Davis won’t be back in ring until 2027

Gervonta Davis fans will now reportedly have to wait until next year for the inactive star’s ring return.

According to a report on X by The Ring’s Mike Coppinger, Bill Haney, father of WBO welterweight champion Devin Haney, was informed by Premier Boxing Champions boss Al Haymon that Davis won't be ready for a ring return until early 2027.

In May, Davis’ career fortunes were further clouded when it was reported he now had a warrant issued for his arrest in Maryland for violating probation, to go along with his criminal charges for a domestic violence incident in Florida.

Soon after, the World Boxing Association rescinded their order for the two-weight WBA world champion to meet top contender Floyd Schofield Jnr next and declared Davis a “Champion in Recess” at lightweight because, they said, his “…ongoing proceedings could prevent him from fulfilling his championship obligations in the short and medium term."

The 31-year-old Davis hasn’t fought since a shaky performance in a draw against Lamont Roach Jnr in March 2025. He had been going back-and-forth with the younger Haney on social media, negotiating a superfight between the pair.

Those plans are now on hold for the rest of the year.

Right there gioes the Shakur fight in the short term, now we can move on.

I think the fight to make for Gervonta Davis is against Vasily Lomachenko 'maybe before the conclusion to the year, both fighters can have a ticking over fight before challenging each other'.

Note: That fight is bigger and more significant than fights vs. Shakur Stevenson 'for Gervonta Davis and his overall resume'.

Some other good fights for Gervonta Davis 'which in my opinion should be easy to make. Is an rematch vs. Lamont Roach' etc.
