Davis, via The Ring: 'I'm Not Taking 'No' for an Answer'

Label: REPORTED · Heat: WARM. This is a call-out, not a booking. The Ring, in a post this morning, quotes Gervonta Davis saying, "I'm not taking 'no' for an answer," and describes it as "a fresh call-out of Devin Haney today."

We are linking The Ring's post rather than embedding it: the graphic uses uncredited portraits of Davis and Haney, which we treat as agency-risk. Nothing is signed in public. There is no confirmed date, weight or deal, and neither PBC, Top Rank, Haymon, Davis's official X account nor Haney's camp has announced a fight.

On Friday, per a Source of Boxing caption, the line was "I'll meet him at 145." That figure comes only from that caption, not from a post of Davis's own, and we have not reviewed any clips. We are not using the 147 figure some fan accounts have floated.

BOXINGnBBQ, writing from Tank's Instagram, said Davis "said he made a phone call to Al Haymon about it." That rests only on Davis's word. Haymon and PBC have not commented, and we are not treating a claimed call as talks, a contract, or a booking.

What is already official, in Kimster 293, is that Devin Haney vs. Liam Paro is Dec. 19 at Chase Center in San Francisco, live on DAZN PPV. That booking stands. Our column note on the same card is here if you missed it. The last time this site put Tank in the same sentence as a lightweight title picture was Kimster's De La Hoya-to-Tank piece after Floyd Schofield won the vacant WBA belt — a different conversation, and also not a signed Davis fight.

Tonight's Pacheco–Fulghum card is still open for Fight Picks if you haven't locked one in. There is no Points Bet on a Davis–Haney fight that hasn't been made.

Does Tank actually get Haney to 145 after Dec. 19, or is this just another lap around the same call-out? Tell us in the comments.

Update, Nov. 14: The Ring later reported that Davis has stated a February or March comeback against George Kambosos Jr. in Chicago. That is also his claim, not a booking. Our note is here.
