Gervonta Davis now in ‘advanced talks’ to face former champion: “I expect it to happen”

Gervonta Davis is reportedly planning to return to the ring this summer, and a rematch with the former 140-pound world champion appears to be a real possibility.

The 31-year-old has not fought since a controversial draw with Lamont Roach, who was saddened that he did not score a shock victory in March 2025.

Later that year, “Tank” was reportedly in talks for an immediate rematch with Roach, only to have an exhibition fight with Jake Paul instead.

This is a chance though collapsed after Davis was taken to civil courtwhich resulted in Paul facing Anthony Joshua in December instead.

Then, earlier this year, it was revealed that Davis had an arrest warrant out for his arrest on charges related to battery, false imprisonment and attempted kidnapping.

As a result, the hard-hitting southpaw was stripped of his WBA lightweight world title, but was named “intermission champion,” meaning he could potentially be reinstated as the full 135-pound champion.

However, – reports Mike Coppinger from Ring magazine that Davis is considering a rematch with Isaac Cruz, whom he passed by unanimous decision, in 2021 at 140 pounds.

“That’s what I was told [Gervonta Davis] he is currently in advanced talks regarding a rematch with Pitbull Cruz at 140, not 135, as in the first fight this summer. I expect it to happen.”

Even though Davis claimed a unanimous decision victory, many believe that Cruz gave the Baltimore fighter one of the toughest tests of his professional career, with Roach being the only fighter to go the full distance of 12 rounds.

As for his move to super lightweight, where he stopped Mario Barrios in the 11th round in 2021, it opens the door to fights with the likes of Keyshawn Davis.

Carl Froch Announces Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 Verdict: ‘He Needs to Be Careful’

Carl Froch delivers verdict on Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2: “He needs to be careful”

Carl Froch believes Floyd Mayweather’s fight against Manny Pacquiao 2 is “more stimulating” than their first clash, with the American hoping to avoid a “stain on his legacy”.

Their welterweight bout in 2015 resulted in a clear unanimous decision victory for Mayweather, who largely controlled the proceedings with sharper moves and defensive nous.

However, it was later revealed that Pacquiao had suffered a shoulder injury during training camp, which only added to the frustration that their clash had come far too overdue.

Although statistically it is the highest-grossing boxing event of all time, most believe it fell miniature of expectations and was considered the “fight of the century”.

As for their rematch, which will take place on September 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, it’s difficult to know exactly what to expect from both Hall of Famers.

This is mainly because Mayweather hasn’t fought professionally since 2017, when he secured the title. Victory in the 10th round against Conor McGregor.

In turn, in July, Pacquiao drew with Mario Barrios, the then WBC welterweight world champion, proving that he is still able to maintain a high pace.

For this reason, Froch further stated his YouTube channel that Mayweather must be careful not to lose his undefeated record – which currently stands at 50-0 (27 KOs) – or risk diluting his legacy.

“This fight is probably a little more stimulating than their first fight because Mayweather is still undefeated – he still remains lively [in the gym] – but Manny Pacquiao just went 12 rounds to a draw with Barrios.

“So Manny Pacquiao can obviously fight some more. Mayweather has to be careful because if he gets beaten, he will lose his undefeated record and that will be a petite stain on his legacy. He is one of the greatest champions of all time.”

While Mayweather is risking his legacy to some extent by jeopardizing his undefeated record, many believe he ultimately has enough left in the tank to beat Pacquiao again.
