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.
