Three-division world champion Gervonta Davis seems to be enjoying a layoff after his successful WBA lightweight title defense against Isaac Cruz in December 2021. He is yet to receive an official opponent and can take time to outline his plans for the future.
Meanwhile, ‘Tank’ recently shared an adorable moment with his child, celebrating fatherhood all over social media. He posted two pictures and painted a love emoji to reflect on his feelings. No wonder it grabbed massive attention from the fight fans and Davis’ loyalists.

However, not all of it went smoothly for the lightweight world champion. Davis seemingly took offense when he received words of love from Ivan Redkach and Tank lashed at him publicly. Ukrainian super lightweight, Redkach congratulated Gervonta Davis but didn’t get the response he may have expected.

It can be a signal towards a potential fight between Davis and Redkach somewhere down the line. However, the two are noway near each other’s combat radar. Gervonta Davis has beaten Mario Barrios to grab hold of the WBA 140 lbs belt but has returned to 135 in his last appearance. He seems viable to remain in the lightweight division for some time now. Thus, Redkach vs Davis may not happen anytime soon. However, the potential fight can remain in the loop after Redkach manages to bounce back from his current bad phase.
