WBA Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis wants to rematch Isaac Cruz in his comeback fight.

Davis’ comments come after Cruz vs. Lamont Roach ended in a controversial majority draw on December 6, as he seeks his first fight since his own majority draw against Roach in March. Tank was lucky to retain his WBA Lightweight Title after the referee failed to call a knockdown in round 9 once Davis took a voluntary knee, which prevented Roach from getting a win on the scorecards.

The Roach rematch broke down as Davis was scheduled to box Jake Paul, however that bout felt apart following Davis’ civil lawsuit filed by an ex-partner claiming false imprisonment, battery and kidnapping, coupled with reports of poor ticket sales for Paul vs. Tank, which led to the fight not going ahead.

Since then, Davis has been quiet over his future up until now. Tank boxed Cruz in 2021, securing a close unanimous decision (115-113, 115-113, 116-112), with Cruz being the first fighter to take Davis the distance. Gervonta later claimed he had fought through an early hand injury that prevented him from using his power shots, as he now wants the rematch once his ‘knee’ is healthy.

“I’m taking him next, soon as my knee gets better,” Davis said
