How much did tank Davis make his last fight?
On July 28, 2018, IBF Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua faced off against challenger Alexander Povetkin. The fight was at Wembley Stadium in London, England, and it was a title defense for Joshua.
In the end, Joshua was the clear victor, knocking out Povetkin in the seventh round. But before that, there was some speculation about how much money former heavyweight champion and challenger David “Tank” Davis was set to make.
Reports initially said that Davis would make a mere $50,000, but that number was quickly refuted. In the end, it’s not clear how much money Davis actually made for the fight.
What is clear, however, is that Joshua made a lot more. He was guaranteed £18 million for the fight, and it’s likely that he made even more than that.
Povetkin, on the other hand, made a fraction of what Joshua did. He was guaranteed £2.5 million, but it’s likely that he made much less than that.
It’s not clear why Davis was given such a low guarantee, especially when compared to Joshua. It’s possible that it had something to do with the fact that Joshua is a much bigger draw than Povetkin.
In any case, it’s clear that Joshua was the big winner in this matchup. He made a lot of money and looked impressive in the process.

The 22-year-old, who is the IBF world super featherweight champion, was arrested and charged in March after allegedly assaulting a man outside a nightclub in Washington D.C.
Davis was due to appear in court on Wednesday, but failed to show up, resulting in a warrant being issued for his arrest.
According to reports, Davis was in Miami at the time of his court date, and was unable to return to Washington D.C. in time.
If he is found guilty of the misdemeanor assault charge, Davis could face up to 180 days in jail.

He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving and was sentenced to 12 months probation.

Why is Gervonta Davis suspended from boxing?
On January 31, 2019, news spread that Gervonta Davis was suspended from boxing. The reason for the suspension was not revealed, but many speculated that it was due to a failed drug test. This speculation was confirmed on February 22, when the Maryland State Athletic Commission (MSAC) released a statement detailing Davis’ suspension.
According to the statement, Davis was suspended for six months due to a positive drug test for the banned substance Furosemide. This is not the first time that Davis has failed a drug test; he also tested positive for Furosemide in 2017.
Furosemide is a diuretic that is used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention. It is also used as a “masking agent” to hide the presence of other banned substances in a drug test.
Davis has denied using Furosemide to cheat, claiming that he took it to treat a medical condition. However, the MSAC has stated that they do not believe Davis’ story, and that they believe he took the drug to improve his performance.
Davis has since announced that he will be appealing the suspension.
