Gervonta Davies to Make Stunning UK Arena Return After Ryan Garcia Bout

Overview

Boxing sensation Gervonta Davis is set to make a highly-anticipated return to the UK for a blockbuster fight later this year. Davis, who last fought against Ryan Garcia in April 2021, will be part of Premier Boxing Champions' new venture with Prime Video.

Returning to the UK

According to RingTV, Davis is set to fight in the UK for the first time since his knockout victory over Liam Walsh in May 2017. The 29-year-old lightweight champion has an impressive record of 29 wins across three weight divisions.

Record-Breaking Pay-Per-View

Davis' fight against Garcia drew in a staggering 1.2 million pay-per-view buys, showcasing his status as one of the biggest attractions in the sport. The sell-out crowd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas generated an estimated gate revenue of £19.4 million.

Potential Opponents

While Davis' next opponent is yet to be decided, there are several exciting possibilities. One potential match-up is a blockbuster fight with Devin Haney, another unbeaten star in the sport who holds multiple world championships in two weight classes. Vasily Lomachenko is also mentioned as a potential opponent for Davis.

Name Change

In a recent headline-grabbing move, Davis changed his name after converting to Islam. It is unclear whether he has legally changed his name or if he will fight under his new moniker, Abdul Wahid.
