Advanced negotiations are underway for a rematch between Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, potentially setting up one of the most anticipated fights of the summer. If finalized, the bout would take place at 140 pounds (junior welterweight) a move up from the lightweight limit where their first fight occurred.
The two fighters first met in December 2021 in Los Angeles, where Davis defeated Cruz by unanimous decision while defending his WBA lightweight title. Despite the clear scorecards, the fight was widely regarded as one of the toughest bouts of Davis’ career, with Cruz applying relentless pressure and pushing the Baltimore star the full 12 rounds.
