A win this weekend for Isaac Cruz could prove huge for the “Pitbull”.
It hasn’t been too long since Gervonta Davis‘ last fight, but the boxing world wants to know what “Tank” is going to do next. Another show-stopping knockout victory, this time against Frank Martin, once again proved that Davis is arguably the most dangerous fighter on the planet.
That would generally make it difficult to find him a willing opponent, although Shakur Stevenson continues to claim that he’s fully ready to negotiate and get the possible mega-fight done. There are still plenty of obstacles to clear for that to happen, which could pave way for others to enter the fray.
Isaac Cruz vs Tank Davis rematch coming in November?
According to the VP of Communications at Haymon Sports, who lead Davis’ promotion company PBC, Isaac Cruz could find himself in a rematch with Davis later this year.
I think Tank’s date is November. I guess that’s a possibility if Pitbull comes through his fight unscathed. The timing works out… I would like to see him in a rematch. I would really like to see him and Pitbull go at it again, with Tank not having a hand injury or anything like that. I thought it was one of his toughest fights. Just to see how that would be with him at full strength.
Tim Smith, who was speaking with Kurt Emhoff from The Ring Magazine, conceded that Cruz gave Davis “probably one of his toughest fights“, although he believes it was squarely due to a hand injury.
Since that fight in 2021, Cruz has won all four of his bouts, with three coming by stoppage. He’s currently fighting at super lightweight, where he’ll defend his WBA belt against Jose Valenzuela this Saturday.
