“Tank” competes in the second Premier Boxing Champions-led Amazon Prime PPV event against Frank Martin on June 15. It is a non-title fight in Las Vegas.

Dubbed “the face of boxing” after the Garcia win, Davis immediately dealt with a fight outside the ring. He appeared in court for his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run incident in November 2020. Pleading guilty to four traffic offenses, Davis was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest. However, he violated the terms of his home detention and served the remainder of his sentence in prison.
Back to focusing on boxing, Davis looks to continue where he left off.
