Baltimore boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ homecoming victory over Panamanian Ricardo Nunez July 27 brought him a step closer to what is the 24-year old fighter’s eventual goal, which is to be a pay-per-view superstar. That would be following in the footsteps of the guy who is directing Davis’ career, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., who made millions of dollars during his fighting career.
Davis raised his record to 22-0 (21 knockouts) and defended his WBA super featherweight title with a fierce second-round TKO over Nunez in front of a jubilant sellout crowd of 14,686 at Royal Farms Arena, which included Raven Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed.
The electricity in the stands surprised even Davis.
