Gervonta Davis’s Profession & Career

On November 15, 2016, ESPN announced that he would defend his IBF super featherweight title against an undefeated fighter named José Pedraza (22-0, 12 KOs) on Showtime on January 14, 2017, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The fight would then take place as an undercard to the fight between James Degale and Badou Jack for the super middleweight world title unification.

The IBF also granted Pedraza a waiver to fight Davis because he had a mandatory fight against British boxer Liam Walsh on the horizon. Mayweather Promotions matchmakers attempted to make a deal for Davis to fight titleholder Jason Sosa before the fight was announced. He then knocked out Pedraza in the seventh round to win the IBF super featherweight title.

Following the fight, he stated that in order to remain composed, he had studied the early career of his mentor, Floyd Mayweather Jr. He also stated that he had a lot of experience, but he learned how to maintain his cool.’

Achievements and Awards

In November of 2018, he announced that he would defend his WBA title in February 2019 in Southern California against former three-weight world champion Abner Mares (31-3-1, 15 KOs). Mayweather first teased the fight on social media in August 2018, but there was no mention of a date or venue. Mares moved up from featherweight for the fight, having lost his previous fight in June 2018 to Léo Santa Cruz.

When their fight was announced, there was a lot of talk about Mares being “thrown to the wolves” and having no chance against Davis. After that, Mares hit back at critics, explaining that it was his decision to gain weight and test himself. On December 14, the fight was confirmed to take place on Showtime on February 9, 2019, at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego.
