After a year of setbacks and stalled momentum, the Baltimore boxer could be stepping back into the ring for a long-awaited rematch, this time at 140 pounds.
Gervonta “Tank” Davis might finally be getting back to business.
After months of uncertainty, the undefeated boxer is reportedly in advanced talks to face Isaac Cruz in a rematch that could land this summer. The fight is expected to take place at 140 pounds, a shift from their first meeting at lightweight.
The update comes from Mike Coppinger, who says the deal is moving toward the finish line.
If it happens, it would mark Davis’ first fight since his controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr. in March 2025, a result that didn’t sit well with fans who felt Roach had done enough to win.
A rematch with Roach was expected, but plans shifted. Davis briefly explored an exhibition with Jake Paul, which never came together. Around the same time, legal issues began to cloud his return, including an arrest warrant tied to multiple allegations.
Those complications also impacted his standing in the sport. Davis was stripped of his WBA lightweight title, though he remains a “champion in recess,” meaning a path back to the belt is still technically on the table.
