Gervonta 'Tank' Davis prepares for his much-anticipated return to the ring. Since a controversial draw last March with Lamont Roach Jr., the boxing world has been buzzing about when Davis will make his comeback.
The 31-year-old faced serious setbacks earlier in the year. In January, Florida authorities arrested him on charges including assault and attempted kidnapping. Consequently, the WBA labeled him as a 'champion in recess'. Despite these challenges, Davis’ knockout rate still impresses over 90%.
With all this brewing, Calvin Ford, Davis’ trainer, remains optimistic about Tank's return. During an appearance on [The Rize Podcast](https://www.rizepodcast.com/), Ford shared his confidence:
"He'll be back in the game. Tank’s been doing this since he was seven years old. Sometimes you need that reset because a reset means a lot."
Ford insists that choosing the right opponent is crucial for Davis' comeback fight.
"The person I want to see him in the ring with is the one we're going to fight,” he hinted. “That's why I can't say it yet; I'm campaigning for it to happen. At the end of the day, he makes the decision, but I know it has to be the right opponent for his fans to say, 'Yes, I support him!'"
Rumors swirl around potential opponents like Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz or possibly [Shakur Stevenson](https://www.boxingscene.com/shakur-stevenson). Excitement builds as fans and industry insiders eagerly await official announcements about who will face him when he steps back into the spotlight next year.
Certainly, 2026 promises an intriguing chapter in Gervonta Davis' career. His dedication and history suggest that he's prepared to overcome hurdles and reaffirm his standing as a top contender in boxing.
