Gervonta Davis appears to be targeting a showdown with an unbeaten world champion.
The 30-year-old from Baltimore, Maryland is over 30-fights into what has been an impressive professional career, which began back in 2013.
Tank’ has already won world titles across several weight classes, currently reigning as the WBA world lightweight champion which he captured back in 2019 with a stoppage victory over Yuriorkis Gamboa.

Davis also holds victories over the likes of Ryan Garcia, Leo Santa Cruz and Jose Pedraza, with 28 of his 30 professional victories coming via stoppage.
He made his most recent ring appearance against Lamont Roach Jr on March 1, fighting to a majority decision draw against the former WBA super-featherweight champion at the Barclays Center in New York City.
The pair are set to face each other in a highly anticipated rematch on August 16 in Las Vegas, but ‘Tank’ Davis looks to have his sights set on a showdown with IBF world super-lightweight champion Richardson Hitchins.
In a social media exchange with Hitchins, Davis sent a scathing message to the 27-year-old from New York as he urges his countryman to ‘be ready’ for him, hinting that a fight between the pair could be made in the near future.
“When I see you be ready.”
Hitchins successfully retained his IBF crown on June 14, stopping Australia’s George Kambosos Jr with a thunderous body shot in the eighth round of their bout at The Theatre at Madison Square Garden.
The 27-year-old is unbeaten in his 20 professional outings since his debut 8-years-ago and will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of Davis’ highly anticipated rematch against Roach, which could prove to be a ‘fight of the year’ contender.
