Former two-division world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis of Baltimore, MD will vie for his third world title in his third weight class when he faces former three-division titleholder "El Ciclon De Guantanamo" Yuriorkis Gamboa of Miami, FL by way of Guantanamo, Cuba on Saturday, December 28th at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA. The two will vie for the WBA Regular Lightweight title and the bout will be the main event contest shown on Showtime.
The two men fought their last bouts on the same card -- July 27th at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore. Davis (22-0, 21 KO's) scored a second-round TKO over Ricardo Nunez in his first title defense (of the WBA Super Featherweight championship) at home. Gamboa (30-2, 18 KO's) also knocked out his opponent -- Roman Martinez -- in the second round. Davis and Gamboa are ranked one and two, in the most recent WBA rankings. The winner of this contest may get an opportunity against Unified Lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko.
The co-feature bout on this Mayweather Promotions/TGB Promotions card will be another battle of champions as WBA Interim Light Heavyweight champion Jean Pascal of Laval, Quebec, Canada (34-6-1, 20 KO's) takes on former two-division world titleholder Badou Jack "The Ripper" of Las Vegas, NV (22-2-3, 13 KO's).
