Gervonta Davis, a 29-year-old powerhouse from Baltimore, has an impressive track record. He claimed the WBA lightweight title in 2023, following Devin Haney's decision to move up in weight. Prior to that, Davis held the lightweight Regular title from 2019 to 2023. His Dominance extends beyond the lightweight division, as he was the IBF super featherweight champion in 2017 and the WBA (Super) super featherweight champion twice between 2018 and 2020. With an undefeated record of 29 wins, including 27 KOs, Davis is a force to be reckoned with. He also won the WBA (Regular) super lightweight title in 2021 and is currently ranked as the second-best lightweight by The Ring Magazine.
