Gervonta Davis coach Kenny Ellis has shared his thoughts on a potential comeback to boxing for ‘Tank’.
The 31-year-old from Baltimore is yet to make a return to the ring since he fought to a majority draw against countryman Lamont Roach Jr back in March of last year.
Davis was set to make his long-awaited comeback against Jake Paul in November but their controversial exhibition clash was cancelled after ‘Tank’ found himself at the centre of a legal battle for domestic allegations.
Whilst it had been speculated that Davis was considering announcing his retirement from boxing by the end of 2025, it has now been suggested that the 31-year-old will make a return to the ring this year.
Speaking to Mill City Boxing, Ellis admitted that he plans to fully support Davis regardless of the decision that he makes on his future in the sport, suggesting that even his team aren’t aware of the next move, or have been instructed to keep quiet about it.
“If he’s coming back, I can only support, you know? I mean I’m just gonna support him, you know what I mean? Whatever he do. If he says he’s done, I’mma support him. If he says I’m coming back, we just get him ready, you know? That’s all we can do. It’s not rocket science. People make it bigger than what it is. It’s just boxing.”
Fans will be hoping that Davis does decide to continue with his boxing career, which will leave the door open for a potential ‘super fight’ with long-term rival Shakur Stevenson, who currently holds the WBC world lightweight title. ‘Tank’ himself has said that he is targetting a rematch with Isaac Cruz.
