Gervonta 'Tank' Davis announces he's retiring after 2025 because boxing 'is trash, garbage'
Gervonta "Tank" Davis could be just 12 months away from retirement.
sports.yahoo.com
Gervonta "Tank" Davis could step into the ring for the antepenultimate time against Lamont Roach on March 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
"After next year, I'm out of it," Davis, 30, announced Tuesday at a launch press conference for his WBA lightweight title defense against WBA super featherweight champion Roach. "Yeah, out of this sport."
Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) reiterated his desire to retire at the conclusion of 2025 in a media scrum after his press conference with Roach, declaring a lack of enthusiasm for boxing as his primary reason.
"S***'s trash," Davis said of the sport. "This s*** is trash, garbage. Fed up. I'm fed up with the whole s***."
Davis said he wants to stay out of the public eye following his exit from the sweet science, and even refused the idea of signing boxers to his company GTD Promotions.
“I just want to be able to make money and stay out the way, that's it," Davis said. "I want to be living without being seen.”
Davis does, however, want to make the most out of his final year in the sport, he said. He mentioned in his media scrum that he wants to box three more times in 2025 before he hangs up the gloves.
The two-division champion hasn't boxed more than twice in a calendar year since 2019, and with the surprisingly low number of shows Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions — who Davis is aligned with — staged in 2024, it does seem unlikely that he would box three pay-per-view bouts in 2025.
Potential opponents for Davis in 2025 could include a Ryan Garcia rematch, a restarted effort to face Vasiliy Lomachenko, or WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson — although Davis isn't overly keen on a Stevenson matchup.
“For what? What has Shakur done?" Davis asked rhetorically. "What has he done in the sport? He hasn't done nothing. Keyshawn Davis is looking way better than him, and Keyshawn hasn't even done nothing. I'm afraid of what? For us fighters to be afraid of someone, it has to be someone who's hitting us and hurting us. [Stevenson] doesn't have no offense, everything is defense. Defense only wins in basketball and football. That sh*t don't win in boxing."
Turki Alalshikh revealed to Uncrowned and DAZN's "Ariel x Ade" show on Tuesday that he hopes to make a Davis vs. Stevenson fight in the future.
Garcia told Uncrowned in November that he would entertain a Davis rematch in 2025 as long as the fight is contested at a higher weight limit than the 136-pound maximum they fought with in April 2023.
I really like this dude.
Good for him

Boxers’ and MMA fighters’ union calls for broadcaster support

If Usyk beats Fury & retires after the rematch, then Kubrat Pulev becomes WBA world champion. We could then see an AJ vs Pulev 2 rematch made at Wembley in 2025 & if AJ wins - then a Fury fight to follow. This is very much in play, if Usyk retires after the Fury rematch
At this point, he’s got brain damage
That
Niggah can't fight level.
before this match, Greg Hardy's record was 7-5 in MMA, 0-1 in bareknuckle, 5-3 in Team Combat League, and 2-0 pro boxing. But yeah, with the damage he's taken from combat sports these last few yrs plus all the hits he took in football all them yrs before this he's got CTE for sure
A lot of those losses were knockouts too
It’s sad you hear him speak now thoughJames Toney was a Baaaaaaddd Man
Yeah, there's no boxer's like him today.James Toney was a Baaaaaaddd Man
No road work just straight sparring
He should’ve never did it
yeah, I agree, that was a huge mistake on his part.
Yeah, I miss those days, these boxers today are runners on the track.
Today has softened athletes
You see old school workouts? Now imagine Ali Tyson foreman etc with todays technology/knowledge and old school workouts
