British Boxing Standout Sunny Edwards Picks Out Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis As His Other Favourite Current Boxer
British boxing standout Sunny Edwards has revealed his admiration for one of the sport’s most electrifying talents — Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. Known for his slick footwork, defensive genius, and outspoken personality, Edwards has never been shy about sharing his opinions. But when it comes to Davis, the usually brash Brit shows nothing but respect.
In a recent interview, Edwards named the undefeated American knockout artist as one of his favorite current fighters. “I love watching Tank fight,” Edwards said. “He’s one of the most explosive fighters in the game right now. He carries real power, but he’s also smart. People don’t give him enough credit for how intelligent he is in the ring.”
Gervonta Davis, who boasts an impressive undefeated record with the majority of his wins coming by way of knockout, has quickly established himself as a superstar in the lightweight and super lightweight divisions. His highlight-reel knockouts and ability to pull massive crowds have made him one of boxing’s must-see attractions — and clearly, Edwards is paying close attention.

While the two operate in different weight classes, Edwards competing at flyweight and Davis at lightweight/super lightweight, the mutual respect underscores Davis’s cross-divisional appeal. “There are not many fighters I really sit down and look forward to watching live — Tank is one of them,” Edwards added.
What makes Davis stand out to many, including Edwards, is his combination of power and precision. He doesn’t just throw bombs — he sets traps, calculates angles, and closes distance with frightening speed. Fighters like Davis are a rare breed, and it’s clear he’s earned the admiration of his peers as much as his fans.
Edwards, who has been eyeing big fights of his own following his move up in weight, often emphasizes boxing IQ and technical prowess — attributes that Tank also quietly excels in behind the knockouts. “He’s not just brawn, he’s brains too,” Edwards said.
As both fighters continue their respective journeys, fans can appreciate the mutual recognition between two of boxing’s sharpest minds and fiercest talents. And while a matchup between the two is unlikely given the weight disparity, Edwards’ endorsement of Davis adds even more shine to the already glowing reputation of Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
In a sport often divided by rivalries and heated debates, it’s refreshing to see top fighters show genuine appreciation for each other’s craft.
