Weight class: Lightweight.
Nationality: American.
Why he's ranked: Want to annoy a lot of boxing fans? Whack Davis in your pound-for-pound lists because, boy, does this dude have his haters.
Davis is promoted by Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, who is building interest in the lightweight in the fighter's home city Baltimore, in "black Hollywood" Atlanta, and, eventually, the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas.
Business Insider met Davis when he was in London in 2017 ahead of his knockout victory over Liam Walsh, where he was flanked by a big entourage, Mayweather, and Ellerbe.
As an athlete who finished his amateur career with a 206-15 record, Davis has extraordinary finishing ability to complement his technical base — something he has shown for years.
He is next in action on Saturday, December 28 where he fights for a world title in a second weight class against Yuriorkis Gamboa, a fighter he is expected to destroy before those influential figures who surround him attempt to elevate him in pound-for-pound lists around the world by booking him into bigger and better fights.
Championships won: World titles at super featherweight (2017 to present).
