WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis is making his much-anticipated return to the ring against WBA super featherweight champion Lamont Roach sometime in December. There are a couple of dates being tossed around for the title fight, but nothing specific has been confirmed quite yet. Something similar was going on with the venue as well.

Some reports claimed it could be in Washington, D.C. since both Davis and Roach are from the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. Meanwhile, a Las Vegas venue made more sense. Regardless, the Baltimore native has now hinted at a location where the fight may happen. According to Davis’ recent post on Instagram, where he took a jab at Frank Martin, Houston, Texas, seems to be the chosen city for the bout. The news has already generated buzz, with stars like Riddick Bowe, Tank Dell, and others expressing excitement.

Earlier today, Tank took to Instagram to share a powerful moment from his last fight against Frank Martin. The post featured a still from the eighth round, just after Davis had knocked Martin out to successfully defend his WBA title. Alongside the image, Davis teased his next fight in December, captioning the post with, “DECEMBER, Houston #TheONE #LongLiveBABYFRANK.”

Initial reports had suggested Davis’ bout against Lamont Roach could take place on either December 21—the same night as the highly anticipated Oleksandr Usyk–Tyson Fury rematch in Saudi Arabia—or December 14. Given the magnitude of the Usyk-Fury rematch, it’s unlikely Premier Boxing Champions would schedule Davis’ fight on the same night, making December 14 a more plausible option.

Nevertheless, the location details alone were enough to prompt these sports personalities to share their thoughts in the post’s comment section.

Tim Wright is betting big on Davis

While it’s no secret that Davis had quite the pull in the community, nobody could have guessed just a single post would attract so many people. Memphis Grizzlies’ point guard, Ja Morant, used an emoji to share his thoughts about Davis. He commented, “🦍,” to emphasize Davis’ power. Davis is known to end fights with one punch, so having animalistic power shouldn’t be a surprise.

Meanwhile, wide receiver for the Houston Texans Tank Dell had a request for the WBA lightweight champion. “Drown em,” Dell wrote. Interestingly, Dell shares his nickname with Davis—Tank.

Another NFL player—the defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders, Maxx Crosby, also joined the conversation. Like Morant, Crosby also used emojis to share his take. He wrote, “🦅🦅🦅.” Notably, Crosby uses boxing in his training—according to a report from Fox 5 Vegas, it helps him improve hand speed, technique, and understanding of distance.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Tim Wright seems to have found a huge money-making opportunity with Gervonta Davis’ recent announcement. He wrote, “Let me get my bet money ready! Christmas gone be lovely.” It’s worth mentioning that Davis is facing criticism for fighting Lamont, who is from a lower weight class, making their bout look like a cakewalk for Tank.

Gervonta Davis has taken to social media to give his first reaction to the news that Devin Haney is now suing Ryan Garcia.

On Friday, news broke that Haney has filed a lawsuit against his last opponent alleging battery, fraud and unjust enrichment, relating to their fight in April.

The highly controversial bout saw Garcia dominate Haney, flooring him three times in a ruthless beatdown which he won on points.

However, it later emerged that he failed multiple drugs tests on the day before and the day of the fight.

As a result, Garcia’s team accepted a settlement with the New York Commission which saw him handed a one-year ban and fined $1million, with the win overturned to a no-contest.

Now, Haney is taking things into his own hands which further legal action.

Haney’s attorney Pat English wrote in a 16-page filing that his client is seeking punitive damages (damages awarded separately from the actual damages from an event).

“At no time did Devin Haney consent to engage in a bout against a boxer who was positive for a performance-enhancing drug, and would not have proceeded with the bout had he known,” the lawsuit reads .

“The New York Commission would not have permitted the bout had it known of the positive finding or of Garcia’s IV use.

“Adding insult to the Commission and to the sport of boxing, Mr. Garcia has alleged that he was ‘high as f*** during’ his bout with Mr. Haney.

“This very clearly brings disrepute on the sport of boxing and by derivation on the New York State Athletic Commission…

“The Actions of Ryan Garcia and those who assisted him evince a high degree of moral turpitude and demonstrate wonton dishonesty as to imply criminal indifference to his civil obligations as well as wilful or wanton negligence, or recklessness, or where there is a conscious disregard of the rights of others or conduct so reckless as to amount to such disregard.”

In relation to the battery count, English added: “[Haney] at no time agreed to engage in a bout against an individual who had taken a performance-enhancing drug.

“His consent was limited to a bout held fairly and under the rules and prohibitions set forth above.

“Thus, the fighting (touching) by Garcia was non consensual.

“Devin Haney suffered damages in that he suffered physical injury, reputational damage which will amount to millions of dollars, and emotional and mental distress.”

The fraud count is connected to Garcia’s signed documents vowing he would not use performance-enhancing drugs.

And the unjust enrichment count stems from Haney’s legal team’s assessment that Garcia doesn’t deserve to keep his purse and pay-per-view profits.

The news of the lawsuit has set the boxing world alight.

One person who initially didn’t give any reaction is Haney’s lightweight rival Davis, who is friendly with Garcia after they fought last year.

Tank has now tweeted about the lawsuit though.

In response to a fan who tweeted: “Didn’t Bill Haney say they were sending in Devin Haney to kill Ryan Garcia? Said he really wants Ryan to die in the ring? Now Team Haney is saying they could’ve died and wanting to sue. Lol, b**ch move.”

Davis simply gave his thoughts by replying: “Crazy how life works.”
