Is Gervonta “Tank” Davis coming back? His return is already taking shape
The American boxer is preparing his return to the ring, and here’s everything we know about it.
The outlook for Gervonta “Tank” Davis is starting to look more promising after a period of inactivity in the ring due to legal issues. His longtime trainer, Calvin Ford, confirmed during an appearance on The Rize Podcast that the fighter is ready to compete again.
Davis has not fought since March 2025, when he fought to a controversial draw against Lamont Roach Jr.. Since then, his career has been placed on hold following legal troubles stemming from an arrest in Florida, a situation that led the WBA to name him champion in recess.

During the interview, Ford explained that the team is already working on plans for the fight that would mark the American boxer’s return. While he did not reveal any names, he made it clear they are targeting a high-profile opponent capable of exciting both Davis and his fan base.
According to Ford, the time away from boxing could serve as a “reset” for Davis, who has been involved in the sport since childhood and is aiming to regain momentum in an increasingly competitive division.
He is still a high voltage boxer
“Tank” remains one of the most talked-about names in international boxing. The 31-year-old continues to be a major pay-per-view attraction thanks to his aggressive style and high knockout ratio. However, over the past year, headlines surrounding him have focused more on issues outside the ring than on his performances inside it.
As his comeback takes shape, speculation is already growing about possible opponents. Among the names being discussed are a rematch with Isaac Cruz or a clash with Shakur Stevenson — two matchups that could quickly put him back at the center of the boxing conversation.
For now, Davis’ return remains in the planning stage as fans and promoters wait for the official announcement of the fight that will mark his comeback.
