Though unconfirmed, a ray of hope for ‘Tank’ fans. Details have emerged regarding a reservation at the T-Mobile Arena. Done by TGB Promotions, which many fans might be aware of as the primary promotions for PBC, details reveal bookings made for November 2. Gervonta Davis last fought Frank Martin two months ago.

He returned to the ring after 12 months following the blockbuster with Ryan Garcia, which incidentally, like the Martin fight, happened at the T-Mobile Arena. Ever since, talks have been rife about Tank’s next assignment. Initially, a matchup with Vasyl Lomachenko for a unification clash appeared pretty strong. But the Ukrainian champion decided to pull out due to personal reasons. Thereafter, an equally anticipated fight with Shakur Stevenson has been doing the rounds. So the year-end feature will see him against the WBC champion or one of the top title contenders in the WBA?

Let’s wait: Gervonta Davis, next feature

Michael Benson shared a screen grab of the reservation done at T Mobile Arena. It read, “TGB Promotions (the promoters who stage most of Haymon’s PBC events) have now reserved Nov 2nd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, prompting speculation this could be the date and venue for Gervonta Davis’ next fight….”

Under the ‘Pro-Boxing Event’ head, while the timing and location details appeared regular, it was the ‘description’ that may have led to the rumor mills. It read, “TGB Promotions will promote a professional boxing event at T-Mobile Arena.”

But the problem is that a few reports reveal that on the same day, the venue will host a hockey match between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Utah Hockey Club. So what adjustments will be made if a ‘Tank’ fight also turns up for the night?

Hockey vs. Boxing: Who wins the showdown?

The information was hardly sufficient for fans to start an exciting discussion. It didn’t take much time before a few started dropping their favorite line-ups. Let’s check what a few of them had to say about the news report.

This fan expressed frustration that Gervonta Davis might be proceeding with yet another unchallenging task. Hence, they pinned their hopes on His Excellency Turki Alalshikh to organize a more competitive fight. “Another 🍒🍒🍒 bullshit fight I’m just waiting to see Turki put something together where I can watch and bet on some 50/50 boxing,” the fan said.

The next fan had names ready in hand. They suggested Edwin De Los Santos and Jose Valenzuela‘s names for a matchup with ‘Tank’. Expressing a preference for the November 2 date, according to them, an optional date of November 23 could have been problematic. On that day, the venue will play host to a college football game between Alabama and Oklahoma. This is what the fan said: “With T-Mobile being the venue, it’s definitely Tank vs. De Los Santos or Rayo, & Nov 2nd is better than Nov 23rd date because Alabama at Oklahoma, two of the biggest brands in college football playing on that date, likely in primetime.”

In light of the Vegas Golden Knights’ hockey match, the following user helped with some handy alternatives vis-à-vis venue and date. They said, “Vegas Golden Knights have a game that night, so either MGM Grand or November 9 when the arena is available.”

The next fan suggested MGM Grand or Mandalay Bay as options in place of the T-Mobile Arena. They sounded surprised that a fight might be scheduled on the same day as a hockey game. “Wild cause there’s a hockey game the same day at T-Mobile might have to book for Mandalay or MGM again,” they said.

Finally, sounding excited, this follower speculated that Gervonta Davis might be gearing up for the rematch with Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz: “Bro boutta rematch Pitbull.”

Now, even if a ‘Tank’ fight crops up, given how HE Alalshikh showed a keen interest in a bout between Shakur Stevenson and William Zepeda, what are the options left for the lightweight champion?

If the Baltimorean is looking forward to a big payday, then under the current scenario, the best alternative remains Teofimo Lopez. But that might require either the Honduran-American champion to come back to 135 pounds or ‘Tank’ jump over to 140 pounds for the challenge. Otherwise, for title unification, he can go against Denys Berinchyk. For title defense choices, there are plenty, such as Floyd Schofield, Keyshawn Davis, Raymond Muratalla, and George Kambosos Jr.

What’s your take on the news? Who would you prefer Davis to go against in the next fight?
