Gervonta Davis is a widely recognized figure in boxing, known for both fame and wealth, while also stirring controversy. On the other hand, Abdul Wahid, an undefeated boxer, has already earned the status of an idol among many aspiring boxers.
Despite his overall status in the boxing world, there are those who remain dissatisfied with Gervonta Davis. Davis currently faces restrictions on leaving the USA, pending court clearance for a hit-and-run case from 2021.
Gervonta Davis rumored to fight in UK next
After the controversy flared up again following his victory over Ryan Garcia last year, Gervonta Davis has been absent from in-ring action for nearly 10 months. The ongoing court hearings suggest that a swift return to the ring may not be possible for Davis.
Moreover, since 2017, he hasn’t fought outside the USA. In that year, a dispute with a childhood friend, resulting in a life-threatening punch, and subsequent legal troubles led to Abdul Wahid being banned from fighting outside his home country.
Rumors about Gervonta Davis returning to the ring persist, with an initial offer from Saudi Arabia that Davis seemingly rejected with a touch of sarcasm. Having spent 44 days in jail and now released, Davis is currently maintaining a low profile, refraining from making significant comments about his next move in the boxing world.
As reported by Ring Magazine, ‘Tank’ Gervonta Davis is set to make a return to the boxing ring after an extended absence, and this time, the action is anticipated to unfold in the United Kingdom. The excitement builds further as Premier Boxing Champions has recently revealed a multi-year deal with Amazon Prime Video, paving the way for the much-anticipated return of undefeated boxers.
Fans believe Gervonta Davis’ return rumors to be false
However, fans seem to have a different perspective, expressing doubts about Gervonta Davis competing outside the United States at this time.
With ongoing legal issues, there is skepticism about Davis making an international appearance. The boxing community in the United Kingdom might have to wait, as there is no official announcement yet regarding Abdul Wahid receiving clearance to fight outside the USA.
One fan literally made fun of the fact that Undefeated boxer is on house arrest and not allowed to go outside his home country.
Another fan posted a video where he showed a person hiding behind ‘Big Cap’, indicating Gervonta Davis is not legally allowed to fight in the UK or any other country.
Though the legal trouble is there, Gervonta still has a championship fight in mind to fight against Devin Haney. There was some verbal war between the undefeated boxers, but the actual fight announcement is yet to be made by officials.
What do you think about the news of Gervonta Davis making his return to the United Kingdom? Is it real, or will Davis have to wait for clearance first before he can arrive in the UK?
