Boxing fans are buzzing as WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging Gervonta “Tank” Davis to a fight this year. In a recent press conference, Haney made it clear that he’s not just returning to the ring—he’s coming back with a mission to dominate.

“Tank has been talking a lot, but it’s time for action,” Haney stated with a steely resolve. “I’ve been quiet, working, but now I’m ready to shut him up and wipe him out of the boxing world.”

Haney’s challenge comes on the heels of his successful defense against Vasyl Lomachenko, where he solidified his status as one of the top fighters in the lightweight division. However, despite his accolades, Haney has been eyeing a showdown with Davis, who has been equally impressive with his string of knockouts.
“Tank might have power, but I’ve got the skills and the heart to take him down,” Haney continued. “This isn’t just about winning—this is about proving that I’m the best in the world.”
The potential matchup between Haney and Davis has been a topic of speculation for months, with fans eager to see two of the division’s best go head-to-head. Both fighters are known for their speed, power, and ring IQ, setting the stage for what could be one of the most anticipated bouts of the year.
As negotiations between the two camps reportedly heat up, the boxing world waits with bated breath. Haney’s bold declaration has added fuel to the fire, and now, all eyes are on Tank Davis to see if he will accept the challenge.
One thing is for sure: if this fight happens, it’s bound to be an explosive clash that could redefine the landscape of the lightweight division. Haney is ready, and he’s made it clear—he’s coming for Tank, and he’s not holding back.
