Gervonta Davis

Â  Â  Gervonta Davis Net Worth 2024: Record, Family, and Career Â Who is Gervonta Davis? Twenty-nine-year-old Gervonta Davis began his boxing journey at age five. An outstanding amateur career saw him win two hundred and six matches against a loss of only fifteen. WASHINGTON, DC &#8211; JANUARY 07: Gervonta Davis looks on before fighting Hector Luis Garcia in their WBA World Lightweight Championship bout at Capital One Arena on January 7, 2023 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) By 2013, at age eighteen, he switched to a professional career, debuting against Desi Williams on February 13. He moved three weight divisions during the next decade, winning multiple titles. Davis has yet to come across the face of defeat in his career. In 2024, Davis converted to Islam and is now known as Abdul Wahid. Â  Gervonta Davisâ€™ Early Life Gervonta Davis was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 7, 1994. He used to go to Digital Harbor School but left it early to focus more on boxing. Reportedly, he obtained his high school diploma through a G.E.D. program. Davis&#8217; parents, father, Garrin Davis, and mother, Kenya Brown, were reportedly addicted to banned substances. Hence childhood in a troubled home resulted in him being taken from one foster home to another. The area he grew up in was called Sandtown-Winchester. Located in West Baltimore, it gained notoriety as a highly crime-prone locality. Davis has often claimed to have lost quite a few friends to violence. When he was eight, he told The Sun about trying a banned substance. Seemingly he didn&#8217;t like it and decided not to touch it again. Gervonta Davis&#8217; partner and children The twenty-nine-year-old world champion Gervonta Davis has never been married. However, he has been through a few relationships over the years. Gervonta Davis and Andretta Smothers &#8211; Reportedly, the two were in a relationship for a long time. On June 20, 2018, she gave birth to their daughter Gervanni. However, the relations between Davis and Smothers soon turned for the worse. While they went separate ways, Smothers, unemployed at the time, filed a case against Davis demanding child support besides their daughter&#8217;s custody. Reportedly, Davis agreed to take care of her schooling and daycare tuition and pay up to $10k monthly as child support. Gervonta Davis and Ariana Fletcher &#8211; The details of Davis&#8217;s on-and-off relationship with Instagram model and entrepreneur Ariana Fletcher soon started grabbing headlines. At one point of time in 2019, they became so popular that they were considered the internet&#8217;s favorite couple.? But later, the couple went through a very public split. Gervonta Davis and Yaya &#8211; Gervonta Davis has been reported to have dated his mentor and promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s daughter, Yaya. Though no longer together, their on-off relationship seems to have caught much attention. Sometimes, early in 2020, details of Davis and Yaya handcuffed by police also grabbed headlines. Besides the above, Gervonta Davisâ€™s name has also been associated with Dretta Star, Dess Dior, and Aillen Giellsele. Lastly, the boxer also dated model and social media influencer Vanessa Posso. On Instagram, she enjoys a following of over half a million people. Additionally, she appears to be a successful businesswoman with her jewelry brand, RichGirlz. The couple also became parents to Giovanna Thalia in October 2021. It is still not known when they started dating, but they have broken up. Their relationship turned south ever since the Baltimore native was accused and eventually charged with causing bodily harm to Vanessa on the campus of the University of Miami in 2020. Although the case was finally dropped, the damage was done and they went their separate ways As things stand in 2024, Gervonta Davis (now Abdul Wahid)&#8217;s relationship status remains unconfirmed. Â  Gervonta Davis&#8217; Net Worth 2024 Itâ€™s natural for fans and followers to ask how much money Gervonta Davis has made through the years if boxing matches are his only source of income, or if he has other avenues that provide meaningful benefits to him and his family. Gervonta Davisâ€™s net worth hovers in the vicinity of $10 Million, according to Sports Arch. While it would be difficult to calculate the exact amount he received for each match since he debuted, we have details of the money he made through a few recent bouts. Reportedly, for the bout against Hector Luis Garcia, Tank received a guaranteed purse of $1.5 million besides a 60% share in the income generated through PPV sales. Likewise, for his fight against Rolando Romero, his guaranteed purse amounted to $2 million, besides the 50% share in PPV earnings. Going back to 2021, for the December fight against Isaac Cruz, Tank&#8217;s guaranteed purse was $1 million, along with 60% of the split up done for PPV sales. For the Mario Barrios fight in June of that year, his remuneration included the guaranteed purse of $1 million and a 60% share of the PPV revenue. For the fights against Leo Santa Cruz (2020), and Yuriorkis Gamboa (2019), his guaranteed purse stood at $1 million. However, the share of the income through PPV sales varied from 50% to 55%, respectively. However, Tankâ€™s biggest payday came when he fought Ryan Garcia. The fight fetched him a guaranteed purse of $5 Million, according to Sports Payout. Of course, his earnings from the fight will be a lot more if we consider the 50-50 Pay Per View split. Davisâ€™ earnings through a few other matches fought in the years 2017 to 2019 are as follows: Vs. Ricardo Nunez &#8211; Guaranteed purse, $750,000, PPV share &#8211; 60%; Vs. Hugo Ruiz &#8211; Guaranteed purse &#8211; $500,000, PPV share &#8211; 50%; Vs. Jesus Cuellar &#8211; Guaranteed purse &#8211; $400,000, PPV share &#8211; 50%; Vs. Francisco Fonseca &#8211; Guaranteed purse &#8211; $600,000, PPV share &#8211; 55%; Regarding endorsements, Baltimore, Maryland, headquartered Under Armour, is a company with which Davis is closely affiliated. The American sportswear giant signed the world champion in 2017. However, details about other brands he has partnered with for endorsements or sponsorships remain undisclosed. Gervonta Davisâ€™ Career Timeline Gervonta Davis started boxing when he was five years old. His amateur career was outstanding. He became the National Golden Gloves champion in 2012. Before the feat, he was the National Silver Gloves champion. Additionally, he went on to win two gold medals at the National Junior Olympics. If this was not enough, he became the National Police Athletic League and Ringside World champion twice! His amateur record was two hundred and six wins against only fifteen losses. He professionally debuted against Desi Williams on February 22, 2013, and won the match convincingly with a first-round knockout. After that, he participated in sixteen bouts for three years, winning all but one through early stoppages. Davis bagged his first world title, IBF Super Featherweight, on January 14, 2017, after knocking out Jose Pedraza in the seventh round at New Yorkâ€™s Barclays Center. He managed to defend it against Liam Walsh in May of that year but eventually lost it as he missed weight against Francisco Fonseca in their September fight. By April 2018, he took home the subsequent title, the vacant WBA (Super) Super Featherweight, after a knockout victory over the Argentine Jesus Cuellar and defended it successfully till 2019. Making his way up the weight divisions, he fought and defeated the Cuban Yurirokis Gamboa for the WBA (Regular) Lightweight title on December 28, 2019. Then, roughly a year later, on October 31, 2020, by knocking out the Mexican boxer Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round, not only did he defend the WBA (Regular) Lightweight but won the WBA (Super) Super Featherweight also in turn. On June 26, 2021, he met Mario Barrios at Atlanta, Georgia&#8217;s State Farm Arena, and netted the WBA (Regular) Super Lightweight title. Ever since, he has been defending it despite challenges from the likes of Isaac Cruz (December 5, 2021), Rolando Romero (May 28, 2022), and Hector Garcia on January 7, 2023. Davisâ€™ last fight was against Ryan Garcia and it went on to become the biggest PPV event of his career. â€˜KingRyâ€™ suffered his first career loss at the hands of Davis, the latter securing a stoppage win over the Victorville native with a liver shot in the seventh round. The event generated a live gate of $22.8 million and roped in over $100 Million in revenue. Overall, Gervonta Davisâ€™Â  professional record stands at twenty-nine wins, of which 93% came through knockouts. Gervonta Davis&#8217; signature boxing techniques Southpaw -Â Gervonta Davis is a Southpaw and has been observed to use a pawing jab against orthodox boxers. Defensively, it allows keeping a distance between himself and the opponents. For offensive purposes, Tank employs either a leading left hook or left straight punch to the body, especially when fighting against bigger foes. Outstanding ring IQ -Â Time and again, Davis has proved to have an innate ability to read an opponent. A good example would be the fight against Leo Santa Cruz. Standing at five feet and six inches and a sixty-seven-and-a-half inch reach puts him in a disadvantageous position against bigger fighters. So he smartly manages the range, sidestepping every attack the opponent throws. In his decade-long career, barely has there been an instance when Davis got hurt by shots thrown at him. Strong right hand -Â Even though he is a perennial left-handed boxer, there&#8217;s no reason to doubt that Tank would be weak with his right hand. Though typically in the southpaw stance, his right hand would be in front to deflect the opponent&#8217;s incoming shots.? However, as exemplified by the Leo Santa Cruz fights, he can use his right offensively to set the final shot with his left on either the face or body. Pressure fighting style -Â Though Gervonta Davis could be equated as a switch-hitter, let there be no doubts about what he enjoys doing the most in the ring. He loves stalking his opponents and loosens up a barrage of punch combinations when the time comes. It perplexes the foe into committing a blunder. That&#8217;s when Davis lands a fight-ending knockout blow like a classic pressure fighter. Powerful lead hook &#8211; The southpaw stance requires Davis to keep his left hand back while using the right hand to land jabs and for defense. However, the style hasn&#8217;t deprived the Baltimorean to alternately use his lead hand for thrusting a hook, either to the body or face. Often at a close range, he might need more time to chamber in the dominant left hand for that perfect hook. So instead, very intelligently, he shoots the hand most relative to the opponent. In most cases, it has been found that Tank&#8217;s opponents were barely prepared for such an onslaught. Accurate puncher -Â It&#8217;s not enough if you know how to execute a punch. It should find its target to make it useful, else it&#8217;s nothing but a sheer waste of energy. Tank has often claimed that accuracy is the key to his power. After all, for a boxer who has won 93% of his matches through knockouts, it&#8217;s relatively understandable the kind of precision he would have to stop twenty-seven opponents early in the fight! Gervonta Davisâ€™ Partnerships and Endorsements The American sports apparel and accessories company based in Maryland, Under Armour, signed the boy from their hometown, Davis, in 2017 With that, &#8216;Tank&#8217; joined the esteemed company of elite boxers like Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez. After signing â€˜Tankâ€™, the companyâ€™s senior vice president for global brand management, Adrienne Lofton told the Baltimore Sun, â€œOur I-95 billboards are our hometown heroes. We look for the next best talent all over the world. So being a young athlete from Baltimore, we knew about him.&#8221;Â  To announce the partnership, Under Armor plastered Davisâ€™ face across a couple of billboards embellished with the catchphrase &#8211; â€œBaltimoreâ€™s ownâ€. Apart from the Baltimore-based company, his other brand endorsements cannot be ascertained as of now. Gervonta Davisâ€™ Career Stats Gervonta Davis has twenty-nine fights under his belt, suffering no losses, and he has won 27 of them via knockout. Only, two of his fights went the distance. Davis has a KO rate of 93.1%. Gervonta Davisâ€™ charity and foundation Gervonta Davis believes in giving back to the community he once grew up in. In his latest charitable venture, Davis plans to revitalize his childhood block in West Baltimore. He bought a nine-house block in Sandtown, Winchester, to convert them into affordable housing. GTD Development, owned by Davis, will be involved in the renovation work. Recognizing Davisâ€™ efforts to invest in the community, City Council Nick Mosby said, &#8220;Tank, when he goes around the world, he literally carries the city of Baltimore on his back,&#8221;Â  Â &#8220;For you to come back, invest in your hometown, invest in your community, and invest in your block &#8211; is truly, truly special,&#8221; he added. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Gervonta Davisâ€™ house The Baltimore native bought a penthouse condominium at Silo Point in Locust Point last year for $3.4 million. He bought the splendid condominium from Baltimore developer Scott Plank. Charlie Hatter, CEO and co-owner of Monumental Sothebyâ€™s International Realty said he brokered the deal.Â  Davis had been looking for a new apartment, and Sotheby was happy enough to show him a video of the loft-style penthouse. Davis developed a liking for the stunning estate and was ready to seal the deal. â€œBaltimore has nationally known celebrities and [Iâ€™m] glad to see them investing in Charm City,â€ Hatter said. Gervonta Davis titles Davis has held multiple titles in three different weight divisions. He won the IBF Super Featherweight, WBA (Super) Super Featherweight, and WBA (Regular) Super Lightweight titles. He currently holds the WBA (regular) lightweight champion which he won in 2019. Â Gervonta Davis&#8217; car collection Mercedes G-63 AMG To celebrate his victory over Rolando Romero, Davis bought a customized Mercedes AMG 63 from Champion Motoring in San Diego. Powered by a V-8 engine, the SUV boasts great off-road capabilities. The starting price of this car is $156, 450 before options. USSV Rhino GX The car was again commissioned through Champion Motoring in San Diego, California. The starting price of the car is $ 331,00.

The base price for a Cullinan is around $ 332,00. Lamborghini Urus The undefeated boxing champion has a knack for purchasing flashy cars, and this particular car was brought from the same dealership in San Diego. He expanded his car collection by adding a custom-built Matte Grey Widebody Lamborghin9i Urus, which cost around $400,00.It is equipped with a V-8 petrol twin-turbo engine that takes only 3 seconds to travel from 0-100 mph.

Rolando Romero

Rolando Romero Rolando Romero Net Worth 2024, Next Fight, Partner, Record &amp; More Who is Rolando Romero? Rolando â€˜Rollyâ€™ Romero, whose full name is Rolando Florencio Romero Moreno, born in 1995, is a professional boxer from Las Vegas, Nevada recognized for his aggressive fighting style and powerful knockout ability. He first gained attention in the lightweight division, debuting in 2016 and quickly amassing an impressive record.Â Romero captured the WBA interim lightweight title in 2020, though his victory over Jackson MarÃ­Ã±ez was controversial. He later moved to the super lightweight division, where he won the WBA super lightweight title in 2023 after a disputed TKO victory against Ismael Barroso. SAN ANTONIO, TX &#8211; JULY 17: Rolando Romero celebrates after defeating Anthony Yigit in their Interim WBA Lightweight fight at AT&amp;T Center on July 17, 2021 in San Antonio, Texas. Rolando Romero defeated Anthony Yigit by TKO (Photo by Edward A. Ornelas/Getty Images) Despite setbacks, including a knockout loss to Gervonta Davis and a title defeat to Isaac Cruz, Romero remains a formidable contender in the sport with a professional record of 15-2 (13KOs). He even had an amateur career, building up a 25-10 record before finishing 3rd at the 2015 Olympic trials. Known for his outspoken personality and roughhouse tactics, he continues to be a polarizing figure in boxing, with his next bout scheduled against Manuel Jaimes in September 2024. Rolando Romeroâ€™s Early Life Both hardship and resilience marked Rolando Romero&#8217;s early life. Growing up in downtown Las Vegas, a neighborhood notorious for its violence, Romero was no stranger to danger. â€œI was raised in downtown Las Vegas, which has always been a bad area. Growing up, there was a lot of violence,â€ Romero recalled. This challenging environment became even more personal when, at the age of seven, he witnessed the tragic shooting of his friendâ€™s brother right outside his home. Despite these adversities, Romero channeled his energy into martial arts. At just nine years old, he began practicing Judo alongside his younger sister, Angelica, a seven-time national champion. â€œI started at the same time as my sister,â€ Romero noted. While he excelled in Judo, earning numerous second-place finishes in national tournaments, his true passion emerged later. At sixteen, inspired by the 2012 Olympics and motivated by his father, Rolando Romero Sr., a respected Cuban boxer, Romero transitioned to boxing. â€œUp until that moment, I never really cared about boxing,â€ he admitted, but once he began, he embraced the sport with determination and skill. Rolando Romeroâ€™s Net Worth 2024 As of 2024, Rolando Romero&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be between $4 million and $6 million. In just eight years as a professional boxer, Romero has made a substantial impact. He has held both the WBA interim lightweight title and the WBA super lightweight title and boasts an impressive record of fifteen wins out of seventeen fights. While specific earnings for most of his bouts are not publicly detailed, Romero&#8217;s financial success is notable. He earned a guaranteed $125,000 for his fight against Anthony Yigit, reportedly $500,000 for his match against Gervonta Davis, and an impressive $850,000 for his most recent bout against Isaac Cruz.Â  On average, Romero earned between $80,000 and $85,000 per fight prior to facing elite opponents. Despite facing some controversies, Romero&#8217;s exceptional record and high-profile matches have significantly contributed to his financial standing. As his career continues to evolve, his net worth is expected to rise, reflecting his growing prominence in the boxing world. Rolando Romeroâ€™s Career Timeline Romero began his boxing journey in 2013, making a mark with a 25-10 amateur record and a third-place finish at the 2015 Olympic trials. His raw power and talent caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather, leading to a professional contract in November 2016. Romeroâ€™s debut was a 61-second knockout, and he quickly rose through the ranks with several impressive victories, including a fourth-round TKO of Adrian Levya and a second-round knockout of Johnny Estrada. In 2018, Romero continued his ascent, knocking out three opponents in four wins, including first-round stoppages of Alex Silva and Dieumerci Nzau. By 2019, he was dominating the lightweight division with a series of early knockouts, notably against Nicolas Atilio Velazquez and Juan Carlos Cardones. Romero captured the interim WBA World lightweight title on August 15, 2020, with a close unanimous decision win over Jackson MarÃ­Ã±ez. He defended his title with a dominant performance against Avery Sparrow in January 2021 and a knockout victory over Anthony Yigit in July 2021. However, Romero faced a setback on May 28, 2022, losing to Gervonta â€˜Tankâ€™ Davis via a sixth-round stoppage. Despite this, he rebounded to claim the WBA super lightweight title on May 13, 2023, with a ninth-round TKO against Ismael Barroso. On March 30, 2024, Romeroâ€™s title defense against Isaac â€˜Pitbullâ€™ Cruz ended in defeat as Cruz secured an eighth-round stoppage. Despite the loss, Romero remains determined to continue his boxing career and reclaim his title. Rolando Romeroâ€™s Career Stats and Record The Las Vegas resident has built an impressive professional record of 15-2-0, with 13 of his victories by the way of knockouts, demonstrating his formidable power in the ring. Currently competing in the super lightweight division, he has previously showcased his skills in the lightweight division as well, adapting seamlessly between weight classes.Â  At 28 years old, this orthodox stance fighter has earned a reputation for his striking ability, boasting an impressive knockout ratio of 86.67%. Standing at 5â€² 8â€³ (173 cm) with a reach of 68â€³ (173 cm), his combination of reach and precision makes him a formidable opponent.Â   # Date Opponent Result Via   18 Sep 14, 2024 Manuel Jaimes  NA  NA   17 Mar 30, 2024 Isaac Cruz  loss   TKO 8   16 May 13, 2023 Ismael Barroso  win   TKO 9   15 May 28, 2022 Gervonta Davis  loss   KO 6   14 Jul 17, 2021 Anthony Yigit  win   TKO 7   13 Jan 23, 2021 Avery Sparrow  win   TKO 7   12 Aug 15, 2020 Jackson Marinez  win   UD 12   11 Feb 22, 2020 Arturs Ahmetovs  win   TKO 2   10 Nov 1, 2019 Juan Carlos Cordones  win   KO 1   9 Apr 20, 2019 Andres Figueroa  win   KO 4   8 Mar 9, 2019 Nicolas Atilio Velazquez  win   KO 1   7 Dec 7, 2018 Rondale Hubbert  win   TKO 2   6 Oct 27, 2018 Dieumerci Nzau  win   KO 1   5 Aug 3, 2018 Javier Martinez  win   UD 6   4 Jan 27, 2018 Alex Silva  win   TKO 1   3 Oct 21, 2017 Johnny Estrada  win   KO 2   2 May 20, 2017 Adrian Levya  win   TKO 4   1 Dec 2, 2016 David Courtney  win   TKO 1   Rolando Romeroâ€™s Titles In 2020, the polarizing fighter claimed the interim WBA lightweight title with a decision victory over Jackson Marinez, despite being out-boxed and out-jabbed throughout the fight. The judges&#8217; controversial scoring in his favor sparked widespread debate, with many, including Marinez, calling it a robbery. Romero held onto the title until 2021 when he moved up to super lightweight.Â  In 2023, he secured the WBA super lightweight title by stopping the 40-year-old Ismael Barroso. However, this victory was also steeped in controversy, as referee Tony Weeks halted the fight prematurely, even though Barroso was ahead on the scorecards. Romero himself admitted that Barroso should have been allowed to continue. In March 2024, Romero lost the title to Isaac Cruz when the latter defeated Cruz via an 8th-round knockout.
