A bitter-looking Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis said today that he’ll retire after three more fights in 2025. Sounding like a politician who had lost a campaign, an unsmiling, sorely-looking Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) announced his plans, saying he’s “out” of the sport after next year. The sour look on Tank’s face was priceless. He was one unhappy camper.

Countdown To Retirement
Few fans on social media believe Tank (30-0, 28 KOs), viewing him as emotional, upset at being dumped on for his choice of his cherry pick of the light-hitter Lamont Roach as his opponent for his next title defense of his WBA lightweight belt on March 1st at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The fight will be shown on PBC on Prime Video PPV for a price yet to be determined, but some expect it to be in the $75 range.
“After next year, I’m out of it,” said Gervonta Davis to the media, revealing he plans on retiring in 2025. “3 times this year, then I’m out of here.”
Tank’s delivery of this statement sounded like one of the famous American politicians from the distant past who told the media in 1962 that they wouldn’t have him to “Kick around anymore.” The look on Tank’s face was identical to that of this old guy.
