A blockbuster fight between two world champions is nearing to be inked as Gervonta \’Tank\’ Davis chooses to fight Leo Santa Cruz that could happen post-pandemic.

Santa Cruz, who became a four-division world champion after a triumph on the belt vacated by Davis in the 130 pounds was loud and bold in challenging the Tank as his next opponent.

Davis, meanwhile leaped to the lightweight division scoring a 12th round KO victory to preserve his untainted boxing record.

“Leo Santa Cruz will be Tank’s next fight and we’re working through all the aspects of when that might be. We’re working through the details as we speak. We were headed in one direction, and then the pandemic came. We’re regrouping. I can assure you and the fans that both guys want the fight,” Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of the Mayweather Promotions said in an interview with Boxing Scene.

Both corners are expecting the fight to be filled and hype as they plan to make the fight later in the year to gather more fans into it.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
