Ryan Garcia conqueror Gervonta Davis teases UFC switch after winning multiple boxing world titles
NELKBOYSUndefeated professional boxer Gervonta Davis is eyeing up a potential UFC debut after winning multiple boxing world titles.
‘Tank’, who is a three-weight world champion, is undisputedly one of the best boxers in the sport, and the 29-year-old’s impressive 29-0 record certainly backs that up.
The Baltimore-born bruiser is considered to be one of the most vicious punchers, pound for pound, in the sport, with 27 of his wins coming by way of knockout.
Nevertheless, with this last bout close to a year ago, as he defeated ‘The Flash KingRy’ Ryan Garcia in April 2023, Gervonta Davis is now teasing a potential fight in the UFC.
Gervonta Davis eyes up UFC fight after multiple boxing titles
The undefeated boxer first teased an MMA fight in a podcast with the NELK Boys back in 2021, and thought he’d have a good shot at it too. “I’d fight in MMA. I don’t think nobody could get me. Like somebody in my weight get me down, I don’t see that,” he said.
Now, more recently in an Instagram live, Davis claimed he believes he’d also be undefeated in the UFC too if he made the switch, before calling on Dana White to hit him up with a fight offer.
“I really think I’d be undefeated in the UFC too,” he declared. “Dana White, I’m waiting on your call baby.”
Given Davis has competed at lightweight (135 lbs) or super-lightweight (140 lbs) most recently in his career, should he make the switch to UFC he would likely compete as a bantamweight (135 lbs) or a featherweight (145 lbs).
It would undoubtedly be interesting to see him make the switch to MMA, and back up his claim that he’d be undefeated in the cage. We’ll just have to wait and see if the UFC president is willing to give him a shot.
