Gervonta Davis Teams Up with Jose Benavidez Sr. Ahead of Comeback

Gervonta Davis, the undefeated boxing star, is reportedly making a significant change to his training team as he prepares for a comeback this fall. After a prolonged period of inactivity, Davis has decided to replace long-time trainer Calvin Ford with Jose Benavidez Sr., father of current pound-for-pound champion David Benavidez.

Davis has fought only once in the last two years, a controversial draw against Lamont Roach Jr., which many fans felt he was fortunate to escape without a loss. This inactivity has led to his downgrade from WBA lightweight world champion to WBA 'champion-in-recess', with a vacant title bout on the horizon.

While no opponent has been officially confirmed for Davis' return, speculation surrounds potential matchups with Floyd Schofield or Devin Haney. Recent exchanges on social media suggest a showdown with Haney could be in the works, especially as Davis looks to adopt a more aggressive fighting style under Benavidez Sr.

Sources indicate that Davis and Benavidez Sr. have been working together for several weeks, and their partnership appears to be a promising fit. With a professional record of 30-0-1 and 28 knockouts, Davis remains one of boxing's biggest draws, and fans are eager to see how this new training dynamic will impact his performance in the ring.
