Davis To Defend WBA Super Featherweight Title July 27th In Baltimore!

Undefeated WBA Super Featherweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis will return home for his next title defense on Saturday, July 27th at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, MD.

The Ring is quoting sources that say the opponent for Davis (21-0, 20 KO's) will be Ricardo "El Cientifico" Nunez of La Chorrera, Panama (21-2, 19 KO's).  This is reported to be a mandatory challenge for Davis.

In Davis's last outing, he scored a first-round TKO over Hugo Ruiz on February 9th in Carson, CA.  This will be only the second time Davis has fought in his hometown as a pro.  The first time was on July 20th, 2013 when Davis scored a second-round TKO over Rafael Casias at Coppin State University in his fourth pro bout.

Nunez makes his United States debut after competing exclusively in Panama. Nunez is coming off a first-round knockout of Eduardo Pacheco on April 30th in Panama City.

More on this bout as it develops.
