Gervonta Davis Announces Plans to Retire from Boxing After 2025

The undefeated lightweight champion cites disillusionment with the sport and a desire for a quieter life as reasons for his decision.

Gervonta Davis, the 30-year-old WBA lightweight champion, revealed he plans to retire from boxing at the end of 2025 after three more fights.
Davis described his frustrations with the sport, calling it 'trash' and expressing a desire to focus on his personal life, including spending more time with his two daughters.
His next fight is scheduled for March 1, 2025, against WBA super featherweight champion Lamont Roach Jr. at the Barclays Center in New York.
Potential opponents for his remaining fights include high-profile names like Vasiliy Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, and Ryan Garcia, though no official matchups have been confirmed.
Davis remains under contract with PBC for multiple fights, raising questions about whether he will fulfill all obligations before stepping away from the ring.
