Tank Davis booked for hometown fight

[Although social media beefs are swirling between Gervonta Davis and both Tevin Farmer and Gary Russell], it was announced on Saturday's Showtime telecast that Davis, the undefeated WBA 130-pound super champion, will instead defend his title against mandatory challenger Ricardo Nuñez on Saturday, July 27th. The bout will take place at an unspecified venue Dasvis' hometown of Baltimore. Showtime will televise. It will be a championship homecoming for the 24 year-old, who will fight for the first time as a champion in front of his hometown fans. The Floyd Mayweather protégé and youngest U.S.-born titlist in boxing has knocked out 20 of his 21 professional opponents, including KOs in all five of his world championship fights. Davis is coming off a first-round knockout of former bantamweight title holder Hugo Ruiz in February. The televised co-features and venue will be announced in the near-future.
