Gervonta Davis Eyes Major Comeback Fight as Devin Haney Confirms Contact

Gervonta Davis has not fought since his contentious draw with Lamont Roach Jr., a result that left many questioning the decision after Roach was denied a knockdown ruling. Amid ongoing legal issues and uncertainty about his future, signs are emerging that 'Tank' is gearing up for a comeback.

The WBA has mandated Davis to defend his lightweight title against Floyd Schofield, but recent developments suggest that a more significant fight could be on the horizon. Three-weight world champion Devin Haney announced via social media that Davis' team has reached out to discuss a potential matchup, stating, "I think Gervonta grew some balls... his team reached out! We might just end up fighting!"

This revelation is particularly intriguing given Haney's current obligations, including a mandatory fight against Keyshawn Davis, as confirmed by WBO president Gustavo Olivieri. Despite the hurdles, a clash between Davis and Haney would rank among the most anticipated bouts in boxing.

However, there are significant challenges to making this fight happen. Haney's rising status as a welterweight, coupled with Davis' preference for lightweight, complicates matters. While Haney has expressed willingness to negotiate a catchweight, the disparity could pose a disadvantage for Davis.
