Early life

Davis was raised in the Sandtown-Winchester community in West Baltimore, one of the most crime-ridden areas of the city.[6] He attended Digital Harbor High School, a local magnet school, but dropped out to focus on his career. He later earned his secondary degree through a GED program.[6]

Amateur career

Davis has been training at Upton Boxing Center since he was five years old.[6][7] Davis is trained by Calvin Ford who was the inspiration for the character Dennis "Cutty" Wise on the hit HBO television series, The Wire.[8][9] Davis won the 2012 National Golden Gloves Championship,[10] three straight National Silver Gloves Championships from 2006 to 2008,[11] two National Junior Olympics gold medals, two National Police Athletic League Championships, and two Ringside World Championships. Davis finished his amateur career with a record of 206 wins and 15 losses.[12]

Professional career

Early career

Davis made his debut at the age of 18 on February 22, 2013, against Desi Williams, who had a professional record of 0 wins and 4 losses, all by stoppage. The fight took place at the D.C. Armory in Washington on the undercard of IBF junior welterweight fight between Lamont Peterson and Kendall Holt. Davis won the bout via first-round knockout (KO).[13] By August 2014, Davis had recorded 8 wins and no losses, with all wins coming inside the distance. Davis was taken the full distance for the first time in October 2014 against veteran 28-year-old Germán Meraz (47–31–1, 25 KOs). Davis knocked Meraz down in rounds three and five, and went on to win a unanimous decision (UD), with all three judges scoring the bout 60–52. Nonetheless Meraz became the 1st fighter to go the full distance against Davis.

On February 20, 2015, at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Davis became the first person to stop Israel Suarez (4–4–2, 1 KO), winning in devastating fashion with a first-round KO.[14]

On May 22, 2015, at The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Davis scored a technical knockout (TKO) against Alberto Mora (5–3, 1 KO) 1 minute 14 seconds into the fight. The normally durable Mora was stopped for the first time in his career.[15] On September 12, 2015, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Showtime as part of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Andre Berto undercard, Davis defeated Recky Dulay (8–1, 5 KOs) in only 94 seconds.[16] On October 30, 2015 , at The Venue at UCF in Orlando, Florida, on Bounce TV, Davis defeated veteran 38-years-old former featherweight title holder Cristobal Cruz (40–18–4, 24 KOs).[17]

On December 18, 2015, at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Spike TV, Davis scored a ninth-round KO over Luis Sanchez (17–4–1, 5 KOs).[18] On April 1, 2016, at the D.C. Armory on Spike TV, Davis defeated Guillermo Avila (16–5, 13 KOs) by KO in the sixth round.[19][20] On June 3, 2016, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, as part of a Premier Boxing Champions card, Davis knocked out Mario Antonio Macias (28–18, 14 KOs) with his first punch of the fight, which lasted only 41 seconds.[21]

IBF super featherweight champion

Davis vs. Pedraza

On November 15, 2016 ESPN announced that Davis would challenge for the IBF super featherweight title against undefeated José Pedraza (22–0, 12 KOs) on January 14, 2017, at the Barclays Center in New York on Showtime. The fight would take place as an undercard fight to the super middleweight world title unification fight between James DeGale and Badou Jack. The IBF granted Pedraza an exemption to fight Davis, as he had a mandatory fight against Liam Walsh looming. Prior to the fight being announced, Mayweather Promotions matchmakers tried to make a deal for Davis to fight titleholder Jason Sosa.[22] In a very competitive fight Davis defeated Pedraza in a seventh-round KO to win the IBF super featherweight title.[23] After the fight, Davis said that he had studied the early career of his promoter and mentor, Floyd Mayweather Jr., in order to stay composed. He said, "I had a lot of experience [from the amateur ranks], but I learned how to keep my composure. Floyd told me to stay calm, and I studied Floyd Mayweather [videos] when he was 'Pretty Boy.' My uppercut was my best shot, and it was landing all night. It felt really good to fight the way I did. I could take it and dish it out." Mayweather Jr. himself enthusiastically branded his protégé as the future of boxing. For the fight, Davis earned $75,000 compared to Pedraza, who earned the larger sum of $225,000, in what was his third defense. At the time of stoppage, Davis was ahead 59–55 on all three judges' scorecards.[24]

Davis vs. Walsh

On May 7, 2017, it was announced Davis would travel to London, England for his first title defense. The news came from Frank Warren, promoter of challenger Liam Walsh (21–0, 14 KO), who was also ranked number 1 by the IBF. The fight was scheduled to take place on May 20, 2017, and billed as 'Show me the Money'.[25][26] At the official weigh in on May 19, Davis showed up overweight and was given 2 hours to make weight. His first attempt, although he was naked, he weighed two ounces over. He was then given two hours to attempt to lose the extra weight, although he came back earlier thinking he had lost it but was still over the limit. He eventually met the limit of 130 pounds on his third attempt.[27] Davis stopped Walsh in the third-round to retain his IBF title. After two cagey rounds, which were controlled by Davis, he came out with power punches at the start of the third. Walsh's legs looked to give way and Davis pounced with accurate hooks to the head, eventually dropping Walsh. Walsh beat the count. The fight resumed and Davis went on the attack again, connecting with every shot he threw, then referee Michael Alexander decided stop the fight, even though Walsh wanted to continue. The time of stoppage was 2 minutes and 11 seconds of round three.[28] Many at ringside believed the stoppage was premature, including Walsh, "That was a bad stoppage. He's very fast and very active but it was too quick. He won fair and square but in England sometimes they stop the fight too early."[29][30] The fight was shown live on Showtime in the U.S. averaging 228,000 viewers and peaking at 253,000 viewers.[31]

Davis vs. Fonseca

According to TMZ Sports in early July 2017, it was reported that Davis would feature in the co-main event of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor on August 26, 2017, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.[32] On July 29, The Ring magazine reported that Davis would likely defend his IBF title against former WBO champion Román Martínez, whose last fight was a KO loss to Vasyl Lomachenko in June 2016.[33] On August 10, Ringtv reported that Davis would instead fight unbeaten prospect Francisco Fonseca (19–0–1, 13 KOs), who at the time was ranked number 7 by the IBF. According to some sources, the potential fight with Martínez was dropped due to notice and Martínez would not have had enough time to make the 130-pound limit.[34] Prior to the fight being announced, the IBF had ordered Fonseca to fight their number 3 ranked Billy Dib (42–4, 24 KOs) in a final eliminator, as they were the two highest ranked available.[35] At the weigh in, Fonseca came in at the 130-pound limit. Davis showed up an hour late and came in at 132 pounds, 2 pounds over the weight limit. Davis declined to weigh in after two hours, thus he was stripped of the IBF title. The title was declared vacant, but the title would be still up for grabs if Fonseca secured victory.[36] In what was billed as an easy fight for Davis, he won the fight via KO in round eight, with the ending being controversial. The final punch appeared to be an illegal punch to the back of the head to Fonseca and referee Russell Mora counted him out 39 seconds into the round. After the fight, Davis mocked Fonseca.[37] Fonseca appeared hurt before the knockout blow, which Davis, who was being booed by the crowd, explained to Jim Gray of Showtime in the post fight interview, "I actually caught him with a body shot before that and he was hurt. So he took advantage of me hitting him in the back of his head and went down." With the win, Davis scored his tenth-straight KO victory. Due to Davis winning the fight, the IBF title remained vacant.[38][39] For the fight, Davis earned a purse of $600,000 compared to the amount $35,000 that Fonseca received.[40]

Davis vs. Cuellar

On November 15, 2017, Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions announced that Davis would be making his in ring return in the first quarter of 2018 alongside stablemate Badou Jack. He also revealed that Davis would fight a high-level opponent.[41] According to Ellerbe, Davis would remain at super featherweight and likely challenge for a world title in 2018.[42] On January 24, 2018, Showtime announced that Davis would next appear on television on the undercard of Broner vs. Vargas on April 21 at the Barclays Center in New York.[43] A day later, Ellerbe stated a deal was close to being reached for Davis to fight former world champion and IBF #3 Billy Dib (43–4, 24 KOs, 2 NC) in what would be an IBF eliminator. A purse bid, which was due to take place on January 25 was postponed to February 6.[44] On February 21, it was reported by ESPN that the fight would not happen. Instead it was stated Davis' likely opponent would be Jesús Cuellar (28–2, 21 KOs). On March 5, the fight was finalized for the vacant WBA (Regular) super featherweight title. Cuellar was moving up from featherweight for the fight, he was coming off a loss, and 2 years of inactivity.[45] Prior to the fight, Alberto Machado, the WBA (Super) champion at the same weight class, was inexplicably downgraded to 'Regular' champion, and the Davis-Cuellar fight was upgraded to be for Machado's WBA (Super) super featherweight title.

In front of 13,964 in attendance, Davis knocked out Cuellar in round three. Davis first knocked down Cuellar in round two courtesy of a left hook to the body and then put him down twice in round three to get the stoppage. Referee Benjy Esteves Jr. stopped the action at 2 minutes 45 seconds into the round. Davis landed 49% of his power shots in the fight. Both boxers earned $350,000 apiece. After the fight, Davis stated he wanted to unify with the winner of Tevin Farmer vs. Billy Dib, which would be contested for the IBF belt, the same belt Davis was stripped of.[46][47][48] The bout opened Showtime's broadcast and averaged 460,000 viewers and peaked at 527,000 viewers.[49]

Davis vs. Ruiz

In November 2018, Davis announced that he would defend his WBA title in February 2019 against former titlist Abner Mares (31–3–1, 15 KOs) in Southern California. The fight was first teased by Mayweather via social media in August 2018, with no mention of a date or venue.[50] The fight would see Mares moving up from featherweight, having lost his last fight in June 2018 against Léo Santa Cruz.[51] When the fight was announced, there was a lot of talk of Mares being 'thrown to the wolves' and that he had no real chance against Davis. Mares hit back at critics explaining it was his decision to move up in weight and test himself.[52] On December 14, the fight was confirmed to take place on February 9, 2019, at Pechanga Arena in San Diego on Showtime.[53] A week later the venue was changed to Dignity Health Sports Park, in Carson, California, formerly known as StubHub Center.[54]

Mares and Davis ultimately did not fight on the scheduled date after Mares suffered a potential career ending injury, a detached retina, during sparring.[55] Instead Davis faced challenger Hugo Ruiz, Ruiz had to move up from super bantamweight to super featherweight for the fight. Davis knocked Ruiz out in the first round after breaking the challenger's nose.[56]

Davis vs. Núñez

On July 27, 2019, Davis made the second defense of his WBA (Super) super featherweight title when he beat Ricardo Núñez by second-round technical knockout in front of a crowd of 12,000 fans in his home city of Baltimore, Maryland. Davis took his time feeling out his opponent in the first round. In the second round, after receiving a couple of punches from Nunez, Davis went into attack mode and connected multiple times on Nunez, which prompted the referee to jump in and stop the fight.[57] His win marked the first time a native of Baltimore had returned to the city to defend a world title since featherweight champion Harry Jeffra defeated Spider Armstrong in 1940.[58]

WBA (Regular) lightweight champion

Davis vs. Gamboa

On December 28, 2019, Davis fought for the vacant WBA (Regular) lightweight title against veteran 38-year-old former featherweight title holder Yuriorkis Gamboa. In a competitive fight Davis won the fight by twelfth-round technical knockout. Gamboa came into the fight with an Achilles tear, and completely tore it in the second round, but somehow, he was able to last all the way to the 12th round.[59] Davis had dropped Gamboa in the second and eighth rounds, in the twelfth and final round referee Jack Reiss stopped the fight, even though Gamboa wanted to continue.[60][61] According to CompuBox punch stats, Davis had landed 120 of 321 punches thrown (37%), while Gamboa landed 78 of 617 thrown (13%).[62]

Davis vs. Santa Cruz

Making his PPV debut on October 31, 2020, on Showtime, Davis moved back down to super featherweight and recaptured his vacated WBA (Super) title against Léo Santa Cruz, who had picked it up in a vacate title fight. The fight took place at The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Early in the fight, Davis was knocked down by Santa Cruz, however it was not ruled a knockdown. In round 6, Davis caught Santa Cruz with a sharp left uppercut and the Mexican immediately fell to the canvas. The referee stopped the fight and Davis retained his lightweight title, while also recapturing the WBA (Super) super featherweight title.[63] At the time of the stoppage, Davis was leading on all three judges' scorecards by the identical margin, 48–47.[64] Over the course of just under six rounds, Davis had been out-landed and out-thrown by his opponent despite being the more accurate boxer: he landed 84 of 227 punches thrown (37%), while Santa Cruz landed 97 of 390 thrown (25%). His knockout of Santa Cruz was selected as the winner of The Ring Magazine Knockout of The Year award for 2020.[65]

WBA (Regular) super lightweight champion

Davis vs. Barrios

In his second fight headlining a Showtime PPV, Davis moved up to the super lightweight division for the first time in his career to face WBA (Regular) champion Mario Barrios on June 26, 2021, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.[66] On the night, Davis prevailed in a competitive fight, knocking his opponent down twice in the eighth round, and again in the eleventh round. Even though Barrios wanted to continue the fight, referee Thomas Taylor decided to wave the fight off handing davis a TKO win.

Davis vs. Cruz

On October 6, 2021, Davis announced that he would be facing his mandatory challenger, Rolando Romero on December 5 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Showtime PPV.[70] However, Romero was pulled from the bout due to sexual assault allegations made against him, and was subsequently replaced with Isaac Cruz. Cruz was brought in at 2 weeks notice.[71] On the night, Davis went the full distance for the second time in his career. In a very close and competitive fight Davis won via unanimous decision, with the judges' scorecards reading 115–113, 115–113 and 116–112 in his favor. Nevertheless, Cruz was only the second fighter to go the distance with Davis, after Germán Meraz.

Davis vs. Romero

Once Rolando Romero revealed on his Instagram page in January 2022 that no charges against him were filed, as the claims of sexual abuse could not be substantiated,[72] the WBA once again ordered Davis to make his WBA (Regular) title defense against Romero, and gave the pair until February 24 to come to terms.[73] The pair agreed to face each other on May 28, in the main event of a Showtime PPV,[74] at the Barclays Center in New York City. In a very competitive fight, Rolly was finding success in the first 5 rounds, but in the 6th round Davis scored a knockdown.

Soon after, a fight broke out in the crowd at ringside with 2 minutes and 8 seconds left in the eighth round, causing the fight to be temporarily halted. When the action was resumed, Davis found success again with his left hand, visibly hurting García.
