According to the most recent World Boxing Association rankings, Baltimore, MD's Gervonta "Tank" Davis is no longer the super featherweight champion. Apparently, Davis has vacated his title and will now compete as a lightweight.
The WBA has ranked Davis (22-0, 21 KO's) as the number-one contender to the WBA's 135-pound title, held by Vasyl Lomachenko. Lomachenko is the Unified Lightweight champion, having added the vacant WBC championship to the WBA and WBO titles with a unanimous decision win over Luke Campbell in London, England.
Davis comes off a blistering second-round knockout victory over Ricardo Nunez on July 27th in front of a sellout crowd in his hometown of Baltimore.
Although Davis will, at least for the time being, not have proposed bouts against boxers such as IBF Super Featherweight champ Tevin Farmer or WBC Featherweight titleholder Gary Russell, Jr., a contest against Lomachenko would be an incredible pay-per-view showdown. BATB will keep you posted on any developments.
