The well-known American boxing champion Mayweather not only maintains a terrifying result in his personal victory in the professional boxing arena, but also holds multiple gold belts and world titles, but his disciples have also begun to emerge and gradually become a new force in the boxing world. Today I will introduce to you Gervonta Davis, known as the "tank". He is currently holding the WBA super featherweight world boxing champion gold belt and the WBA lightweight world boxing champion gold belt. In addition, he has won all 23 games so far, including 22 KOs of his opponents, with a KO rate of nearly 100%, and his attack power is quite terrible.
Born in 1994, Davis lived and grew up in Baltimore, a black community with a complex social environment. So he started living with his uncle very early and started learning boxing at the age of 5. In his early years, he also played amateur boxing for a while and won the well-known gold gloves event in the United States and two youth events. The most shocking event that year was that he won all of them by KO when he participated in the Golden Gloves event, and KOed 5 opponents in three days and won the final championship. In the amateur boxing era, his record was 206 wins and 15 losses, including 123 KOs of his opponents.
In 2013, Davis, who was only 19 years old, began to enter the professional boxing world. He ended the game in just 2 minutes in the first game. Since then, he has continued his winning streak with familiar KO methods. In 2017, Davis ushered in his first world title battle. In the battle for the super featherweight title of IBF, he faced Jose Pedrasa and won the 7th round, winning the first world boxing champion gold belt as he wished. However, in the subsequent defending game, he lost this IBF super featherweight gold belt because he was overweight.
In 2018, he competed for the WBA Super Featherweight Super World Title Battle, KO his opponent in the first round and easily won the title. Entering 2019, he played two defending games, both of which were KO defending the title. After that, he decided to upgrade with Davis, who was in front of him, and competed for the WBA lightweight world title. On December 28, 2019, he fought against Cuban boxer Gamboa in the United States, and KOed at the end of the 12th round, and strongly gained this lightweight world boxing champion gold belt.
As the world boxing champion currently under Mayweather , in the next game, Davis will start a double-title battle with Mexican boxing champion Santa Cruze, including WBA lightweight and WBA super featherweight. The game is scheduled to be held in the United States on October 24 this year. Davis, who is only 25 years old now, is still the most appealing new generation of boxing champions in the boxing world. With the blessing of Mayweather, the future is unlimited.
