On Saturday night, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis made right on his eighth round knockout promise over Frank Martin at the MGM Grand Garden Arena — and once again, he’s put on for the black culture in the ring.

When we think of great fighters such as Terance Crawford, Errol Spence, Deontay Wilder, and more who are active, they don’t quite seem to sell the same amount of tickets as Tank. Even fighters in fellow weight classes such as Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson, talented fighters who don’t have the same pull on the culture.

Before this fight, Tank was arrested due to domestic violence and has been in TMZ for more than the wrong things. He’s been in a public feud with Floyd Mayweather Jr. despite still being promoted by his team. No ESPN or TV promotion, yet Tank still managed to pull a large crowd with essentially a no name in Martin.

The question of whether boxing is dying has been a question for some years now. The retirement of Mayweather Jr. definitely left a void in the boxing world in which not too many superstars are left. Canelo Alvarez could be seen the face of boxing, and he certainly has the Mexican crowd, Ryan Garcia too. Canelo fights on Cinco De Mayo and mostly fights close to home for a reason, to sell as many tickets as possible. However, Tank has had fights in New York, Nevada, Washington D.C., L.A., and Atlanta. Tank can go to way more cities in the country than most fighters because of his fan base.

Rappers mention him in raps, celebrities show up to his fights, streamers hang with him, Tank is leading the culture when it comes to boxing.
