No Record For Him“ Davis Challenges And Focuses Targets On Manny Pacquiao in a High-Stakes 145–147 Pound Clash”

The boxing world is bracing for a showdown that has the potential to redefine eras, ignite debates, and shake up the sport’s historical landscape. Gervonta “Tank” Davis, one of the most explosive fighters of this generation, has officially set his sights on a living legend — Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao.

Davis’s camp has confirmed that the undefeated knockout artist is focused on stepping into the 145–147 pound division to challenge the Filipino icon. This announcement has sent shockwaves through the fight community, with fans and pundits speculating what such a clash could mean for both fighters’ legacies.

On one side stands Davis, a 29-year-old powerhouse known for his devastating punching power, surgical precision, and ability to dismantle opponents with ruthless efficiency. On the other side is Pacquiao, a global superstar whose lightning speed, relentless combinations, and unparalleled résumé have already secured his status as one of boxing’s all-time greats.

The narrative is irresistible: youth versus experience, raw knockout power versus seasoned ring mastery, and a fighter with everything to prove against a man with nothing left to lose but his legacy.

Davis’s Bold Claim: “No Record For Him”

Davis has never shied away from making bold statements, and this time, his focus is sharper than ever. His team insists that if Pacquiao dares to accept, there will be “no record left for him.” In other words, Davis believes Pacquiao’s legendary achievements won’t shield him from a devastating defeat.

“Tank is in his prime and ready for war,” Davis’s representative revealed. “He respects what Pacquiao has done for the sport, but respect goes out the window once that bell rings. This isn’t about history — it’s about the future.”

The weight division adds another layer of intrigue. Davis has typically fought in lighter divisions, dominating his opponents with a lethal mix of power and agility. Moving up to welterweight to face Pacquiao presents both risk and reward. For Pacquiao, who has fought across multiple weight classes throughout his career, this is familiar territory — but facing a younger, fresher opponent with devastating power could be the ultimate gamble.

If Davis wins, it won’t just be another victory; it could mark the passing of the torch, elevating him into superstardom and cementing his place among the sport’s elite. For Pacquiao, victory would mean proving yet again that experience, resilience, and heart can overcome youth and strength.

The boxing community is divided. Some believe Pacquiao’s speed, movement, and veteran savvy will frustrate Davis, exposing flaws the younger fighter hasn’t yet faced. Others argue that Davis’s raw explosiveness and hunger for greatness will overwhelm the veteran, ending Pacquiao’s hopes of one final triumph.

Terence Crawford

Either way, the anticipation is reaching fever pitch. A Davis–Pacquiao clash at 145–147 pounds promises not only fireworks inside the ring but also a battle of legacies outside of it.

Negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks, and if the fight is signed, it would instantly become one of the most talked-about events in modern boxing history. With Davis hungrier than ever and Pacquiao still a formidable name, the stakes could not be higher.

For Davis, this is about creating his own legacy, not living in the shadow of the past. For Pacquiao, it’s about defending a legacy built on decades of blood, sweat, and triumphs.

No matter the outcome, one thing is certain: when Gervonta Davis and Manny Pacquiao collide in the 145–147 pound division, the world will be watching.

Dustin Poirier fiercely declares he wants Gervonta Davis to clash with a former UFC champion, calling it a thrilling and explosive matchup fans can’t miss.

Dustin Poirier wants to see Gervonta Davis take on a former UFC champion. Davis’ boxing future remains in jeopardy. ‘Tank’ was arrested last month on charges of domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend, the mother of his children.

He has since been released but unfortunately for fans, Lamont Roach delivered devastating news for fans saying the rematch doesn’t appear to be happening. Davis and Roach fought out a majority draw in their March showdown.

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Poirier has now claimed that he’d love to see ‘Tank’ Davis (30-0-1, 28KOs) in MMA. And ‘The Diamond’, who recently retired, has suggested a former UFC champion as Davis’ opponent.

Dustin Poirier’s ideal MMA opponent for Gervonta Davis

Poirier wants to see Davis take on Sean O’Malley, the former UFC bantamweight champion and one of the biggest stars in MMA. Poirier said, “The MMA guys have gone over to boxing, I’d love to see some boxing guys come over to MMA. Put Gervonta Davis in there with ‘Suga’ Sean. Throw a couple of leg kicks, see how that goes.”

One boxer who is known for his wrestling skills is Terence Crawford. Poirier suggested ‘Bud’ would be a good fit in MMA as well and he is super excited to see Crawford take on Canelo Alvarez on September 13.

“‘Bud’s another great one too. And I am super excited for his fight against Canelo coming up. Yeah, see if his wrestling can hold up [in MMA].”

Conor McGregor stepped foot inside the boxing ring in 2017 to fight Floyd Mayweather. Since then, Darren Till, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and more have crossed over to the ring. Luke Rockhold and Tony Ferguson are also set to fight in boxing soon. O’Malley also had one boxing fight earlier in his career, which he won by knockout.

The only notable male boxer to cross over to the UFC is James ‘Lights Out’ Toney in 2010, when he took on Randy Couture at UFC 110. It ended in disaster for Toney as he was submitted in the first round.

“A Very Strong Chance”: Promoter Eddie Hearn Sparks Curiosity Anthony Joshua Could Be on the Verge of a “Very Strong Chance” Showdown with Jake Paul

The Matchroom Boxing boss — who has worked alongside Joshua for over a decade — joined Babcock on the “TMZ Sports” TV show (airs nightly on FS1) … and Hearn left us shocked.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis on edge as he faces a fierce and potentially explosive showdown with Lamont Roach Jr.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis is no stranger to high-pressure moments inside the ring, but his upcoming clash with Lamont Roach Jr. has taken on an intensity unlike any other. Set for August 16, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the rematch promises to be one of the most explosive nights in boxing this year.

The anticipation stems from their controversial first meeting in March, which ended in a majority draw after an unexpected ninth-round incident left fans stunned. Davis, who carries an undefeated record of 30 wins and one draw, is determined to prove that the stalemate was nothing more than an outlier. For Roach, the fight represents a golden opportunity to finish what he started and shock the world by toppling one of boxing’s biggest stars.

“This fight is personal now,” Davis said earlier this month, hinting that his focus has never been sharper. “I’m coming to leave no doubt.”

Roach, however, has made it clear he isn’t intimidated. Known for his grit and technical ability, he insists that the rematch is his chance to cement himself among the elite. “I showed in the first fight that I belong at the very top,” Roach stated. “This time, I plan to take everything from him.”

Beyond the rivalry, the fight carries massive stakes for the lightweight division. A decisive win for Davis could set up blockbuster clashes against names like Shakur Stevenson or Devin Haney, while a Roach victory would shake up the hierarchy and potentially trigger one of boxing’s biggest upsets in recent memory.

With emotions running high, fans and analysts are bracing for a battle that could redefine both fighters’ careers. The countdown is on, and the boxing world is holding its breath as Davis and Roach prepare to settle unfinished business once and for all.

Tyson Fury Warns Moses Itauma Would Ruthlessly Destroy Oleksandr Usyk After Savage Win Over Dillian Whyte

Moses Itauma issued his latest statement of intent to boxing’s heavyweight division as he stopped Dillian Whyte in the first round of Saturday’s main event in Saudi Arabia; former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury tipped the 20-year-old to beat the world’s best

Tyson Fury has backed Moses Itauma to ‘wreck’ Oleksandr Usyk and the rest of the world’s top heavyweights after the rising star’s latest statement performance.

Itauma continued his ruthless ascent through the heavyweight ranks on Saturday night as he blasted past Dillian Whyte inside one round in Saudi Arabia.

The highly-rated 20-year-old has teased the potential to become the next face of the heavyweight division, with former world champion Fury tipping him to dominate for years to come.

“I keep getting asked about young Moses Itauma fighting Oleksandr Usyk and fighting all the other big names,” Fury said on his Instagram story.
Anthony joshua
“My opinion is not someone who doesn’t know boxing. My opinion is someone who has been there and won every single belt. Won everything there is to win in boxing and done very well. Boxing is a young man’s game, like I told Wladimir Klitschko when he was 37. Boxing is a young man’s game. It waits for nobody. So here is the opinion, and you heard it here first.
“Moses Itauma will wreck all them all old men out of the division. Usyk, AJ, Miller. Whoever there is that’s old. Zhang, whoever else the f*** there is, Luis Ortiz. All these big names of the past.
“Even the man who took my belts. Usyk, Moses will wreck him because it’s a young man versus an old man. And an old man can’t mess with a young man.”
It remains to be seen what lies next for Itauma and the heavyweight division, particularly should Usyk vacate his WBO belt as opposed to defending against mandatory challenger Joseph Parker.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s main event, promoter Frank Warren suggested the winner of Itauma and Whyte could secure a shot at Parker in the event of Usyk vacating.

“What’s next?” Itauma himself said after his win over Whyte. “Honestly, I will fight anyone they put in front of me.

Gervonta davis

“If I be completely honest, Joseph Parker [and Agit] Kabayel do deserve the shot [at Oleksandr Usyk] but I would love to take the opportunity as well.

“Chuck me in there with them lot!”

He now sits a perfect 13-0 as a professional, having stopped each of his last nine opponents inside three rounds.

Usyk is coming off a stunning knockout win over Daniel Dubois, which saw the Ukrainian pound-for-pound great become a three-time undisputed champion.

It’s Very Dangerous:Next Absolute Frontrunner’ For Anthony Joshua’s Next Fight Named: “It’s Very Dangerous”

Anthony Joshua is currently plotting his next move in the heavyweight division and it could seriously divide fans.

The two-time world champion and Olympic Gold Medalist will look to bounce back from a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois when he steps through the ropes again.

Though fans would like to see a long-awaited clash against Tyson Fury, ‘The Gypsy King’ remains adamant that he is retired and not interested. That leaves ‘AJ’ in the market for another opponent, and the current ‘frontrunner’ is as far away from Fury as you might get: Jake Paul.

Speaking to IFL TV, promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that his most recent meetings with Paul’s promotional company, MVP, have convinced him that their public calls to fight Joshua are legitimate.

“The thing that I wanted to understand is do they really want to fight AJ or is this just a publicity stunt. And I am 99% sure they want to fight Anthony Joshua … Right now, the absolute frontrunner for AJ is Jake Paul, February or March next year.”

The promoter then said that, whilst he understands the dangers the match-up possesses, those are outweighed by the potential scale of the event.

“I’ll stress, I think it’s a very dangerous call for Jake Paul. I don’t think the fight is overly competitive. Maybe Jake can do something and prove us all wrong. But people are gonna tune in to watch AJ demolish Jake Paul. It’s not a fight that we called for, it’s not a fight that we expected, it’s not a fight that I ever anticipated happening, but I also understand that it may be commercially one of the biggest in the sport.”

“This is just wild, that’s all it is … It’s mental that AJ could be fighting Jake Paul next, but when you look at it and see that it’s probably the biggest pay-per-view fight that could happen in the sport right now, you understand why it could happen.”

A decision is expected in the coming months, as Joshua, should he choose to stick to traditional boxing, could be out before the end of the year.

Rematch: Gervonta Davis Fires Off Clear Warning to Lamont Roach Jr as Rematch Remains Unconfirmed

Gervonta Davis has shared an update on the situation surrounding his rematch with Lamont Roach Jr

The 30-year-old from Baltimore, Maryland made a defence of his WBA world lightweight title against Roach earlier this year, with the fight ending in a split decision draw after a competitive twelve rounds at the Barclays Center in New York.

The result could have been very different however, after ‘Tank’ took a knee to the canvas during the ninth round after being on the receiving end of a Roach jab which referee Steve Willis failed to rule as an official knockdown. The champion later revealed that it was due to grease from his hair getting into his eyes.

A rematch between the pair is expected to take place in Las Vegas on August 16, with an announcement due in the coming weeks. There have been concerns around the delay in their second encounter being made official however, with both fighters going back and forth on social media in recent weeks.

In a post sent by Davis, the 30-year-old appeared to accuse Roach of holding out for a bigger purse this time around, which has left fans wondering whether the fight is actually going to go ahead.

“You should’ve been on that instead of calling for that $250k, [the f**k] is you waiting on? This bag bigger. THE F**K YOU FORGOT!”

Despite this, ‘Tank’ has also said:

“The plan is still the plan.”

Davis will have his sights set on righting the wrongs of the first fight and proving himself to still be the best lightweight on the planet, ahead of the likes of Shakur Stevenson.

The 30-year-old is also said to be considering a catchweight bout with Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. although it remains to be seen whether this controversial match-up will happen before the end of 2025.

Frank Warren’s Jaw-Dropping Revelation: Could the Heavyweight Battle of the Century Between Joshua and Fury Rise From the Ashes Post-Jake Paul Fight?

Anthony Joshua is prioritising a fight against Jake Paul next but could still finally face Tyson Fury, believes promoter Frank Warren.

Joshua has not fought since his knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois in September but continues to be strongly linked to an unlikely bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.

Elsewhere Fury is yet to confirm his next move having ‘retired’ from boxing earlier this year in the wake of back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk.

The duo have tried and failed to make one of the biggest fights in British boxing history in recent years, begging the question as to whether fans will ever seen them in the ring together. Warren, though, insists the interest remains.

“There have been a lot of talks for a long time and it hotted up again recently,” Warren told Sky Sports News. “It’s all about whether this fight happens with AJ – for example if he fights Jake Paul and comes through it – and if Tyson has a fight. Who knows if they’ll get it on.

Anthony Joshua

“It’s a fight that has not happened and should have happened. Is it too late? I think there’s tremendous interest in the fight.

“Every time we talk about Tyson and AJ that subject comes up – when are they going to get in the ring together?

Fury recently pointed towards a return to the ring as he outlined his desire to fight Usyk for a third time in pursuit of revenge following successive defeats to the undisputed heavyweight champion.

In addition to Paul, Joshua has also been linked to a fight against fellow former Olympic champion Tony Yoka.

“There is talk of both of those fights,” Warren explained.

“I think the fight taking priority in his (Joshua’s) mind – I don’t look after him, I look after Tony Yoka, he just signed with us and we’d like that fight – I think the preference for AJ is to fight Jake Paul because it’s a huge, huge money fight. It’s a crossover fight between – well, we say YouTube – he’s a professional boxer now.

“It’s a big step up for Jake Paul, and that seems to be the direction it’s going in. As to what he should do, he’s the guy getting in the ring and taking the punches, it’s got to be his choice.”

Gervonta Davis

Yoka, who won gold at Rio 2016, has endured a mixed professional career with a record of 14-3 having seen his world title aspirations derailed by consecutive defeats to Martin Bakole, Carlos Takam and Ryad Merhy across 2022 and 2023.

Paul is 12-1 as a professional following June’s unanimous decision win over Julio César Chávez Jr., his sole career loss coming to Tommy Fury in February 2023.

“People are complaining about Jake Paul and when is he going to fight somebody, you have to take your hat off to him that he’s willing to get in with a former two-time world champion who is not an old guy,” Warren continued.

“It will be a defining moment to see what he’s all about, I’ve got my opinion of what happens but people will buy into it.

“It is a fight that will grab everybody’s attention.”

Gervonta Davis Called Out By ‘Savage’ Former World Champion

A former world featherweight champion claims a showdown with Gervonta Davis will happen in the future.

‘Tank’ Davis currently reigns as the WBA lightweight champion, with his most recent title defence coming against fellow countryman Lamont Roach Jr in New York City on March 1.

JUST IN: Anthony Joshua wants ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ as British star

A rematch between the pair had been scheduled to take place this month, but after a number of failed negotiations it appears that these plans have now been shelved for the time being.

As Davis prepares to go down an entirely different route for his return to the ring, the 30-year-old from Baltimore appears to have been targeted by former WBA featherweight champion Raymond ‘Savage’ Ford.

Speaking to iFL TV, Ford welcomed a showdown with his fellow countryman in the future, as he claims he must continue ‘building his profile’ to stake his claim as a potential opponent for the three-weight world champion.

“Yeah, as long as I keep winning and doing what I do, you know, building my profile I think he’s definitely gonna be looking at me like ‘Yeah, we can make that fight happen for sure’;”

Ford is set to make his first ring appearance since April this Saturday night as he faces Puerto Rico’s Abraham Nova at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The 26-year-old from New Jersey was scheduled to face former IBF super-featherweight champion Anthony Cacace initially, before the Belfast native was forced to pull out of the fight with an injury.
