Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis has set his sights on facing a retired world champion in what he has described as a ‘dream fight’.
The 30-year-old from Baltimore, Maryland has enjoyed a successful career to date, remaining undefeated through all 30 of his contests since he made his debut back in 2013.
‘Tank’ has already won world titles across three weight classes, picking up victories against the likes of Leo Santa Cruz, Ryan Garcia and Yuriorkis Gamboa along the way. He currently holds the WBA lightweight title, which he is set to defend against Lamont Roach on March 1 in New York City.

Speaking on A Safe Place Podcast, Davis was asked about his ‘dream fight’, naming Floyd Mayweather Jr as the opponent he would line up for himself.
“Me vs. Floyd [Mayweather].”
Mayweather played a major role in the early stages of Davis’ career, although their relationship turned sour back in 2022. The pair decided to part ways and end their professional working relationship ended abruptly for a number of reasons.
Both ‘Tank’ and Mayweather have also been linked with a fight against eachother, although this is yet to materialise. ‘Money’ has not fought as a professional since 2017 when he defeated MMA legend Conor McGregor in his 50th and final contest.
The 47-year-old from Grand Rapids, Michigan has remained somewhat active within the sport since his bout against McGregor, having had a number of exhibition contests against the likes of Tenshin Nasukawa, Logan Paul and Aaron Chalmers. Mayweather has left the door open for a return to the sport in 2025, although an opponent and fight date for the boxing legend is yet to be officially announced.
