Davis (24-0, 23 knockouts) will move up two weight classes from his previous fight against Leo Santa Cruz. He fought Yuriorkis Gamboa in the 135-pound weight class in December 2019.

So Tank is moving up, does this mean the end of our desired fights for him?

I hope not. If I were to guess, I'd say Gervonta would almost certainly come back down after Barrios. His height and reach are better suited for the lower weights... and it's not like there is a scarcity of big names there, like you mentioned. The thing I would worry about regarding Davis would be can he stay out of his own way long enough to become an all-time great in boxing. "Trouble" should actually be his middle name.
