Gervonta Davis Stripped of Title After Missing Weight

Davis and Martin to Battle for WBA Lightweight Title on Saturday

Davis Weighed in at 133.4 Pounds, Missing Weight Limit for Title Fight

American professional boxer Gervonta Davis, also known as "Tank", has been stripped of his WBA lightweight title after failing to make weight for his upcoming fight against Ryan Garcia. Davis weighed in at 133.4 pounds, missing the 135-pound limit for the title fight.

The WBA has ruled that only Garcia will be eligible to win the title on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden. Davis will still be allowed to fight, but he will not be eligible to win the title.

This is a major setback for Davis, who was considered one of the favorites to win the fight. He is now 27-0 with 25 knockouts, but he has never fought at 135 pounds before.

Garcia, on the other hand, is 23-0 with 19 knockouts. He is a rising star in the boxing world, and he will be looking to make a statement against Davis.

The fight is still expected to be a competitive one, but Davis will now have to overcome a significant disadvantage in weight.
