Gervonta Davis. Next star or next also ran?

[TIC]

He still looks like a train wreck waiting to happen once he's outside of boxing.

probably, it's just that before most of his fights there is some drama to drum up interest, like his fake beefs with floyd in previous fights. this fight it's talk of next year being his last in the sport

Yeah. These fake retirements are getting to be like the boy that cried wolf. Sooner or later (if it hasn't happened already), people are going to turn an automatic deaf ear on any boxer (except the serious ones) that claims he's retiring.

One reporter said to Davis: "Inoue said that there's nothing that you have that can give him real problems and all you have is power."

Davis instantly looked shocked and asked: "He said that?"

The reporter insisted: "Inoue said that yeah."

At this point other reporters chimed in and disagreed, with none of them having seen this supposed quote.

Davis replied: "I don't wanna go crazy. You're trying to catch me."

noue clarified the situation himself.

He tweeted: "I never said anything like that."

This will not come as a surprise to most boxing fans who have watch Inoue's interviews previously as he seldom ever has anything negative to say about rival boxers.

tank arrested again, i was going to put this in the wasted talent thread

[Spicoli]

Being a fan of Tank lately is quite the task. Again, he is way too good at career self-sabotage and unfortunately it sounds like sucker punching women. As a fight fan do hope the Roach rematch comes off, it was a good fight, but this won't be the last time Tank screws up ugly. The pattern is there and apparently that's his level.

Gervonta Davis' legal issues continue to pile up.

On Monday, a Baltimore judge issued an arrest warrant against Davis for violating his probation, less than a week after he was arrested in Miami on allegations of domestic violence.

Davis was on probation for an unrelated hit-and-run in November 2020 in Baltimore that injured four people, including a pregnant woman.

He was handed three years of probation, 200 hours of community service, and 90 days of house arrest, before later spending 44 days behind bars for violating the terms of his home detention.

According to local reports, Davis's attorney, Hunter Pruette, has asked for the arrest warrant to be recalled and for a summons to be issued to appear in court, along with the order of GPS monitoring.

“Mr. Davis has appeared as directed, posted bond, complied with all conditions, remained within Florida, and promptly notified supervision of his arrest,” Pruette wrote in court documents.

“Detaining him in Maryland would frustrate, not facilitate, compliance by impairing his ability to defend the Florida case and creating substantial logistical barriers to court appearances.”

Davis's most recent run-in with the law comes after he was arrested on charges of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment and kidnapping relating to an alleged incident at a Miami strip club on October 27, 2025.

A lawsuit was subsequently filed by Davis' ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel.

The lawsuit alleges that Davis entered her place of work and attacked her in a back room that didn't have sufficient surveillance.

Davis allegedly dragged her into the parking garage by the throat and the back of the neck before physically assaulting her again.

Police have said that CCTV footage from the club corroborates the woman's story.

Following a two-week manhunt, Davis was eventually arrested.

He later posted bail for $8,500, but is now back in trouble.

Davis was supposed to take on Jake Paul in December; however, the fight was pulled following the harrowing accusations.

He was recently made WBA lightweight champion in recess amid his ongoing problems outside of the ring.
