Mini bio
How it started.
Davis found boxing at Baltimore’s Upton Boxing Center at seven. His friend Quaadir Gurley introduced him to Calvin Ford, who became his longtime coach. After a decorated amateur career, he turned professional in February 2013.
The breakthrough.
A seventh-round stoppage of Jose Pedraza in January 2017 brought his first world title. He later won WBA belts at lightweight and super lightweight, with the 2021 Mario Barrios victory making him a champion across three divisions.
Fights fans return to.
His sixth-round knockout of Leo Santa Cruz and seventh-round body-shot finish against Ryan Garcia are defining performances. He stopped Frank Martin in June 2024 before drawing with Lamont Roach in March 2025.
Where things stand.
In June 2026, the WBA announced champion-in-recess status because of ongoing legal proceedings. The proposed November 2025 Jake Paul event had already been canceled.
