Gervonta Davis on WHY HE'S RETIRING, newborn SON, Ryan Garcia REMATCH & FINAL 2025 FIGHTS • FULL Q&A

FightHype's Ron Goodall is on the scene at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York where multi-division world champion Gervonta Davis hosted the kickoff press conference for his anticipated March 1 return to the ring when he takes on world champion Lamont Roach. You don't want to miss what went down. Check it out!

[@TheArtofSelfActivation]

God bless you and your son.

[@donaldraybohananjr2000]

And he’s not lying. Shakur is a great technical boxer but other than that he’s not walking anyone down, no power, no sizzle no finesse no special effects and it’s not 50/50.

[@kennyporterstoppedmyfight4561]

Exactly 💯 😂

[@tb9340]

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, sizzle, power, and finesse doesn’t equal to a complete fighter. If Shakur isn’t a threat then he should’ve sent him an offer moons ago.

[@TheCamUchiha]

@@tb9340shakur singed with Eddie hern and Eddie said that’s not a fight they were interested in

[@burburry.j5798]

@@tb9340yeah idk what these folks talking about. Plus he holds a belt in Tank weight class how can you be the best when there are 3 other belt holders

[@alsimmons3567]

I think tank wins too but it’s a highly demanded fight and tank needs to show us. I think he beats everyone too but cmon man… show us.

[@money_s420]

tank going thru something mentally He doesn’t care about the sport no more like he used to

[@blackbrew78]

He just had a son and believe it or not Tank is a introvert so he can do without the limelight

[@TUNNEL_ViSiO_ON]

Tank doesn’t care about legacy & accolades. His focus is luxury & affluence. Y’all don’t listen.

[@ESTRESADOWRLD]

He been sayin it

[@DaveBoxing]

Can't blame him. Industry fake. Fans are fickle. In & out ✌🏽💨

[@B1G_CHUNGUS_BUNGUS]

Yeah I didn’t care when that girl rejected me that one time either At least that’s what I told everyone so it must be true, couldn’t be any other reason

[@GotPupps]

Mike Tyson said he doesn’t care about legacy and he says it hurt his legacy..

[@ProSportsENT]

Tank is irritated this fight sheeesh

[@shawnhallmon9245]

I feel like Tank will make a comeback after retirement.

*He ain't have Calvin Ford today I know he ain't get rid of him.. Maybe he'll be in D.C, if not idk.. Tank on something different tho I think he might be lowkey depressed.*

[@fatharese]

He’s seems sick

[@mms7183]

Calvin in jail

[@boxer3139]

He partied with Diddy. Who wouldn’t be depressed lol

[@doubleoosplash9189]

No he ain’t really need be there this was a chill press they don’t fight till march so no pint havein them there independent, he don’t need noone to hold his hand , Floyd did enough of that , he can do it dolo until the big press come up then the whole team be thereb

[@gitaartjespelen]

I also think something is going on in his private life, I know Calvin just recently said in a video where they give clothes and food away for the community that "Tank has got a lot going right now." He looks like he don't want to be in boxing anymore and he also said he just fight for the money right now.

[@am_one312]

Why didn’t any of the reporters ask about his trainer Calvin Ford!?!?

[@thatscrazy1762]

I was asking myself same thing. He wasn’t in press conference either

[@DaveBoxing]

They did. He ignored it.

[@Money-jj3hr]

S/o to tank! As long as You can feed your family bro I aint mad at you, Do wat you want I'm watching bro fights regardless💯💯

[@thekingstable204]

Tank on snap mode. Shades of Tyson for this generation. These reporters handling him with kid gloves.

[@Bmore_ant]

Y’all keep saying tank ain’t fight nobody but both Devin and Shakur left their promotional company and chose to go the route away from tank they don’t really want the fight

[@anthonyfloyd5603]

Devin wasn't under a promotional company and the Tank and shakur fight wasn't happening under top rank

[@HalDanGhor]

Davis'a lack of elite opposition is real and his record speaks for itself. No need to bring other names to justify it. A cash cow like Davis is able to get those fights.

[@vstacy1]

So what has Lamont Roach done in the sport?????????? 😂

[@ITriggerFolks]

More than Lemos

[@brittdavis410]

He is a current champion…🤦🏾

[@barberjungle]

Perfect smaller fighter

[@somowaomusic4098]

His response to Shakur makes me feel no offer was really sent… Respect tho, boxing is tuff on the body, rather see guys hang it up healthy..

[@christiano279]

I think he’s retiring cause it’s getting harder for him to avoid elite fighters in the divisions. Fan or not i ain’t taking credit from tank he is the real deal but is ducking the elites

[@blackbrew78]

Who?? Nobody is fighting each other! All yall do is focus on Tank! Name one of the Top guys that fought another top guy?

[@maxsantana1]

Tank never listens. He always needs the questions to be asked several times.

[@brittdavis410]

Could it be he in a loud ass room with a bunch of ppl all asking him things at once.

[@MrSmooth253]

As a tank fan I’m officially pissed. He should be at least end it with shakur and will be fine. Just give the people what they want one more time. He only gave us what we wanted when Ryan was poppin but other than that 💀

[@YouBeezyBeats]

And even then all the real boxing fans knew Ryan wasn’t good enough to win + the rehydration clause😂 Tank need at least 2 top fights to solidify that resume

[@southsidedon9037]

​@@YouBeezyBeatsRyan is a more dangerous fight than Shakur, Shakur isn't beating Ryan.

[@YouBeezyBeats]

@@southsidedon9037 Tank knew (and we all did) that Ryan will step forward for his counter no matter what, there’s doubt in his mind that he can beat a pure boxer like Shakur. And like I said he put a rehydration clause on Ryan which took all of the danger out of that fight. There’s no defending tank

[@boohoo.]

@@MrSmooth253 stank wasn’t even tryna fight ryan before that fight was made, ryan agreed to his ridiculous weight clauses to fight him. stank ain’t fighting teo, haney, or shakur without clauses

[@southsidedon9037]

@YouBeezyBeats Ryan got a Hydration clause because he said he wasn't going to fight at 135 even though they agreed and Shakur isn't what you think he is.

[@jeremyantonio3993]

The jake paul of professional boxing😂😂😂

[@TraeBaddTV]

Facts

[@pnwtroutslayer253]

I love Tank but your wrong my guy that Tyson/Paul fight did not tarnish Tyson's legacy. We all knew what we were getting when he stepped in the ring with Paul. We wanted to see Tyson and we got him. This was just for entertainment and we all tuned in!. Now Tank go dispatch this lil Roach!

[@Gôxgitx.itxvvi]

Keep doin u tank at the end of the day

[@MDB465]

To say shakur has done nothing while preparing to fight someone who has done nothing doesn’t make sense.

[@blackbrew78]

At least Roach come to fight! Shakur is gonna run all night from Tank and everybody know it.

[@jaycee9795]

Agreed, outside of Pitbull and a drained Garcia. What has Tank done?

[@SageModeisOn]

The Davis Garcia rematch would be so huge. Idk what it is economically but they don’t want America succeeding in sports for some reason in business.

[@nickbustamante3256]

He doesn’t look happy to be doing this interview

[@garymorch8784]

This dude's about money, not legacy. Either way, who cares!? Let the man stack his paper and take care of his people. If he doesn't want the legacy , who are we to say otherwise!? He can retire whenever he wants to

[@1Jaystacks_pcg]

He’s really irritated

[@ricocool5830]

He's retiring cuz he scared to fight the best fighters in and around his division

[@Tha_kid007]

Where is Calvin Ford???

[@candigreen6827]

S/O to tank. What ever he's going thru I send love and I pray he will be okay🤍

[@TraeBaddTV]

He is not retiring. He is a liar. Floyd retired 4 times. He just don’t want to lose to shakur by not landing 90% of his punches. I’m not watching anymore tank fights on ppv until he fight someone dangerous! This is a weak money grab fight!

[@TheAtman12]

Always what has he done.... Talk

[@MrYDot09]

Calvin Ford switching on him killed the love...he need to retire now

[@thekingstable204]

Tanks tone towards boxing sounds all too familiar! He many times have you heard this from a few greats.

[@bryanbobadilla-b1s]

Tank has a lil cold seems so

[@donbiz3540]

They tryna gas lite , I don’t think nothin about it he proved his point in the sport. The important thing is he got his money

[@jwkobe65]

We will never kno he won’t fight him

[@TraeBaddTV]

Tank is not retiring at all. He making yall talk about him by bold face lying! It’s an old Floyd technique to make people watch these lame fights he keeps putting on with people we know he can beat!! I will not pay for another cheap knockout! FIGHT SOMEONE RANKED IN THE TOP 3! YOU ARE NOT FLOYD!!!

[@TheJaybezel2]

And what do you think you little $90 is going to hurt him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TraeBaddTV]

@ nope but the numbers say nobody gonna watch this fight. That’s why he lying talking about retirement to get yall to talk about him to sell the fight.

[@thecreatorc]

He signed a 6 fight deal. No, hes not retiring after 2025. Hes going to have to finish his contract.

[@TheJaybezel2]

They tricked him with that contract the funds are not available that they said they would pay him that’s why he’s irritated. He should’ve never let the public persuade him to leave Floyd

[@TrillShajn]

the money is fine bro, issa reason he said he got 3 more fights after roach.. 3 more fights on his deal

[@regalrottweilerstv]

This is what transpires when one is reluctant to move up in weight. A move with Mayweather would have been more effective and entertaining. This situation is disappointing.

[@somowaomusic4098]

Elaborate?

[@Ay5yung0cahhh4]

stop naming ppl yall heard other ppl discuss. Outside Haney & Loma. No other name is boosting his resume.

[@GotPupps]

I thought he said Mayweather was going broke and kidnapped.. lie detector says that was a lie..

[@doubleoosplash9189]

I feel where tank comein from boxing turn into a circus 🎪, look at Jake Paul ruining boxing an Floyd started that dumb shit with Conner , like tank said years ago it’s people that been fighting since they was 7! To 8 like him man they don’t get enough credit or big pay days because boxing is a circus so I don’t Blame him get his last 3 big fights after roach an keep it movein,tank said years ago Haney an kur all them can have this shit , they can be the super stars he want or to get his bag an move it a island an help the up an comeing

[@farmninja6653]

He needs to retire if he doesn’t fight another champion. The Pedraza and Garcia wins are not enough to get in the hall of fame. He has only fought one reigning world champion. Davis reminds me of Wilder and Adonis Stevenson by holding a belt hostage fighting undeserving fighters.

Remember Pac from 2008-2010 - - Pac fought at 130, 135, 140, 147 & 154 In 14 Months (March 2008 - May 2009) - - Pac fought at 130, 135, 147 and 140 - March 2008 at 130 - July 2008 at 135 - December 2008 at 140 - May 2009 at 140 Out of those 4 fights in 14 Months - 3 were Championship fights and 2 were for the Lineal titles . Tank would rather stay at 135 and fight BUMS than Move Up at 140 to make the biggest fights . Imagine Tank back in 2009 after his first fight at 135 - Tank will fight someone who is at 154 who will move down to 147 (Pac vs Dela Hoya) After that Tank will fight the Lineal Champ at 140 (Pac vs Hatton) Then move to 147 fighting one of the Top Dogs (Pac vs Cotto) Then make 147 his HOME Division while being a NATURAL LIGHTWEIGHT (Pac at 147 from 2009 to 2021) .
