After pocketing the biggest win of his career, Gervonta Davis appears to be on track to making a return later on this year. According to Lance Pugmire of The Athletic, one opponent, that is at the very least being explored, is former 130-pound belt holder, Joseph Diaz.
The California native rolled the dice on himself recently and cashed in. Following the loss of his IBF super featherweight world title on the scales against Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov, Diaz (32-1-1, 15 KOs) was forced to settle for a majority decision draw. Seemingly unable to make 130 pounds anymore, Diaz accepted a risky short notice fight against multiple division belt holder, Javier Fortuna at 135.

The 2021 heavyweight championship saga took another unexpected turn on Thursday when it learned that a COVID appearance at Tyson Fury’s camp had put it at risk of defending its planned WBC title against Deontay Wilder. The third fight between the two is scheduled for July 24 in Las Vegas, but according to several reports ESPN and Athletic, the two camps are gathering information on what the next steps are and whether the fight can continue.
“We continue to monitor the health status of Tyson and his team, and the status of the incident has not changed so far,” Fury’s Top Rank promoter said in a statement Thursday.
