JAKARTA - Former heavyweight Mike Tyson thinks Gervonta Davies' chances of becoming a boxing legend are very open.

Gervonta, 28, which is from the United States, is scheduled to board the ring again on April 15. The fighter nicknamed 'Tank' will face compatriot Ryan Garcia.

"Tank is a great fighter. He will also be a legend if he continues to fight," Tyson said as quoted by The Sun, Tuesday, January 17, 2023.

Gervonta is famous for often beating opponents with terrible knockout punches (KO). The latest victim of this left-handed boxer is wary Luis Garcia.

So far, Gervonta has played 28 duels in a professional career without losing a single mark. Of that number, 26 of them won KO/TKO and only two through a score decision.

"He's probably the best fighter out there right now," Tyson said.

Tanks defended the WBA light title after stopping Garcia in the eighth round. Garcia even admitted that he could not see after their fight.

The fight against Ryan Garcia is expected to be the first defeat for Gervonta. This potential opponent has never been in 23 fights (19 KO).
