Mark Magsayo is being considered as a replacement opponent for Gervonta “Tank” Davis, potentially setting up a high-stakes matchup between the Filipino contender and the undefeated American superstar.

Reports recently surfaced that he is a potential replacement opponent for American boxing superstar Gervonta “Tank” Davis.

Viva Promotions, led by Brendan Gibbons, announced on Facebook that Magsayo is being considered if Davis’ scheduled bout against Lamont Roach on March 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, is canceled.

The post included a promotional poster featuring Magsayo and Davis, sparking excitement among fans.

Magsayo, ranked No. 2 in the junior lightweight division, is currently slated for a world title eliminator against Mexico’s Eduardo Hernandez. The winner of that bout will challenge reigning champion O’Shaquie Foster.

Gervonta Davis has announced his plans to retire by the end of 2025, leaving fans stunned and the boxing world buzzing. The Baltimore native, boasting a flawless 30-0 record with 28 knockouts, has long been considered a potential generational talent. His decision to step away comes as a surprise, especially with his star power still on the rise.

Is Gervonta Davis trolling his opponent and the boxing community, or is his March 1 fight with Lamonth Roach Jr. really canceled?

Davis sent fans into an uproar on Monday after he posted the image below on his Instagram account. Uncrowned captured the image and posted it on X.

I couldn’t contact Davis, but I did reach out to Roach Jr’s publicist Nilo Wright to ask if him or his client had been notified about a cancellation or delay. “Nope, still preparing as planned for March 1st,” Wright said.

Also, Roach was asked by several people and he was seemingly getting irritated with the consistent questions. According to Roach, he’s still “locked in” for March 1.

A provisional date of June 15 has been set for Davis’ clash against Martin, according to Boxing Scene.

Tank is a huge hit with fans all over the world for his explosive style and unique character, so his return to the ring will no doubt prove popular.

His opponent, though, won’t be a pushover.

Martin boasts an 18-0-0 record and has 12 KOs to his name, and he will be desperate to halt Davis’ run and climb the rankings.

There were strong suggestions that Davis would actually fight Englishman Conor Benn next, with Benn’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, sending an official contract offer to the American.
