JAKARTA Boxer from the United States, Gervonta Davis, made a surprising announcement that he would retire from boxing after 2025 was over.
The 30-year-old fighter confirmed the information in a press conference for the publication of the WBA lightweight world championship against Lamont Roach on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.
"Everything ended after this year," Davis said of his career while sitting on a chair after arriving late for the event for more than four hours, as reported by Boxing Scene.
Gervonta Davis is scheduled to board the ring against Lamont Roach on March 1, 2025 at Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, United States. Both names will duel in 12 rounds.
It may be one of three fights that will be fought by this boxer who is also known as Abdul Wahid during 2025 before deciding to hang up his boxing gloves.

Davis said that apart from getting fed up with boxing, the decision to quit the sport was also triggered by the birth of his son recently.
"I also have children. I just have a son. I don't want to keep fighting and being beaten, and so on," said the figure born in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
Apart from fighting Lamont, Davis is also likely to arrange a rematch with Ryan Garcia. The boxer was previously beaten in April 2023.
The fight between the two names was very profitable, resulting in more than 1.2 million pay-per-views (PPV) shows and ticket sales of 22.8 million US dollars.
In addition, another opponent on the list is former undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney. The duel with this name will be his third and final battle in 2025.
