Mayweather’s team admits Gervonta Davis had been thinking about retirement for some time
Tank Davis will not back down on his idea of retiring from the ring at the end of 2025
It’s no secret that Gervonta Davis is slowly losing his passion for boxing. Tank surprised everyone by announcing that this year would be the last of his career, concluding an impressive career at the age of 30
Gervonta has 30 fights undefeated, where in 28 he finished them winning by knockout. The main reason he wants to retire is to spend more time with his family, plus he has repeatedly commented that “he is tired of the sport.”
‘Tank’s’ next commitment will be against Lamont Roach Jr on March 1 of this year, from the Barclays Center in New York, his WBA lightweight championship will be at stake
After that date, we will surely be able to speculate on what will be his possible last fight in boxing, although Davis would like to fight as much as he can during the year
It’s not the first time retirement has crossed Gervonta’s mind
In a friendly chat with Fred Talks Fighting, Jeff Mayweather, Floyd’s uncle, fully supported Davis’ decision to hang up his gloves:
“I believe him. He’s been talking about retiring for a while. So yes, I believe him,” he confessed
Mayweather’s uncle explained that Gervonta will surely look for more fights this year, as it will be important to have financial backing: “He should have financial security and I think that’s the only thing. That’s why he keeps fighting. He wants to make sure he has security,” he said.
A legacy for history
If Gervonta Davis decides not to go back on his idea of retiring, there is no doubt that he will do so in style. It is true that many fans will be left wanting to see him box, but when he hangs up his gloves, he will leave with a 30-0 record and setting the bar very high
The timing would be perfect, as he would go undefeated and leave his belt vacant, without the need for a loss or injury
Her greatest desire is to have more time to enjoy life with her children, and her next step would be to invest in the real estate business and have no relationship with the sport.
