Tank may have to wait until May to fight Lamont Roach Jr.
If you ask most casual boxing fans to name the five best fighters at the moment, odds are almost all of them will have Gervonta Davis on that list. “Tank” has built up his brand name extremely well, and he continues to flat-out dominate anyone who steps in the ring with him. That in-ring success has been a blessing and a curse, though, as Davis is either finding it hard to get big name opponents or is avoiding others.
Despite taking a risk by fighting Ryan Garcia, Tank followed it up with a bout against lesser known Frank Martin. Martin is a fine fighter and came in unbeaten, but he doesn’t have the star power to truly make a mega fight. Given the Martin fight was a bit of a layup, fans were expecting to see Davis take on a big fish for his next fight. Instead, Davis announced that he would be fighting Lamont Roach Jr. That decision was met with a lot of backlash. So much so that it appears Davis has had enough of the Internet.
Gervonta Davis deactivates Twitter and Instagram accounts
Thank you for watching
A fan noticed a couple of weeks ago that Davis’ account on X is no longer active. Now, his Instagram has been wiped clean. The Instagram account is still active, but all posts have been deleted.
This all comes after Davis’ fight against Roach got delayed. Odds are the fight will take place on March 1, with reports saying that the Barclays Center in Brooklyn could be the venue. The last big boxing event to happen there was Garcia vs. Devin Haney.
Davis is either locking in completely by focusing on his training and preparation for the fight, or he’s had enough of dealing with trolls on social media. Either way, no one knows when we’ll see posts from him again.
