Gervonta Davis is going to make his comeback in the squared circle after exactly a year on March 1, against Lamont Roach. Despite fans’ reservations about the fight, ‘The Reaper’ is still considered an elite challenge for Tank by many and may even surprise the world come March.

The bout saw multiple delays and the Baltimore native even once announced the cancelation of the fight, to everyone’s dismay. It seems the chaos has settled down in the last few days as both fighters are now preparing for a momentous clash. Furthermore, the Baltimore native has declared 2025 as his last year in the sport, further increasing the stakes of the fight. However, yesterday, Tank decided to disrupt the peace once again via a cryptic post on X leaving everyone worried.

Is Gervonta Davis in danger?

The WBA lightweight champion took to ‘X’ and wrote, “Fighting for my life..” sending his fans down a spiral. While the exact message behind the post is still up in the air, it can have something with his mental health. During the official press conference for his upcoming March 1 fight, Davis claimed how boxing is affecting his mental health. He contended that the sport is getting too much to handle and he wants to give it all up for the sake of his family.

Or, it might even be as simple as him claiming that he is serious about the bout, since soon after he was back to his usual self. “4 weeks away ,” read his last post on X. So, if we are to believe him, this is going to be one of his last fights, and he wants to fight like there is no tomorrow.

While the message might be ambiguous, it has definitely left every Tank fan either worried or confused. They rallied in the comment section of 30-year-old showing concern for the boxer.

Another user left an inspiring message for the Baltimore native and prayed, “Keep punching until you hit something, Gervonta.” Even he wanted Davis to keep on working till things got better.
