Gervonta Davis vs Floyd Schofield has been ordered now next up but will the fight actually happen next up with the mess that is Tank.
The fight itself is a solid fight.
But Davis has gone missing from boxing for a while now.
Also the sanctioning bodies are in dramatic daily decline and no one pays attention to them anymore in boxing or professional sport worldwide.
That’s the fact of it and the reality of it.
Some things to note for those new to boxing:
Why Davis vs Schofield possibly won’t happen — Davis issues
- Davis is a “Champion in Recess” from an in decline organization who no one listens to and not required to defend immediately.
- Arrested July 11, 2025 in South Florida over alleged assault on ex-girlfriend.
