What happens when you step out of the shadow of a legend? Do you stumble and lose your way, or do you find the courage to stand tall and carry on your path? For Gervonta Davis, the answer is clear: he never had to choose between falling short or going back. Even though his seven-year relationship with Floyd Mayweather hit a sour note, Davis was never left to fend for himself. He was surrounded by those who truly had his back—people who supported him, believed in him and loved him unconditionally.Once viewed as a dynamic pair, Tank Davis, and ‘The Pretty Boy’s’ story took a different turn. However, Tank’s unblemished record of 30-0 with 28 knockouts stands as a testament to his strength and the people who helped him get there. As Davis gears up for his March 1st showdown with Lamont Roach Jr., the boxing world knows he’s ready to claim yet another victory. But who are the forces behind this undefeated champion? How long have they stood by his side, sharpening his skills and keeping him on course? Let’s take a deeper dive into the support system that helped shape the fighter we see today.Who are Gervonta Davis’ trainers?Gervonta Davis should count himself fortunate to have stumbled upon the hidden gems of the boxing world: Calvin Ford and Kenny Ellis. The guardians of boxing knowledge so profound, it could rival the wisdom of ancient sages. And Gervonta Davis holds his coach, Calvin Ford, in the highest regard. It was only at the beginning of this year that he took to Instagram to share that he has even tattooed coach Calvin’s name on him—that is how deep their relationship runs. He revealed, “Calvin is pops. He ain’t going nowhere.”From the tender age of seven, Tank trained at their Upton Boxing Center in West Baltimore, under Ford’s watchful eye. By 2012, he had already racked up an impressive 206 wins in the amateur ranks, including multiple National Golden Gloves and Junior Olympics gold medals. Later, when he turned pro at just 18 in 2013, the world quickly saw the ferocity in Tank’s fists. And alongside coach Calvin, there was Kenny Ellis to build Tank Davis into the powerhouse he is today. With two different personalities and two contrasting styles, Tank became the perfect fusion of both men’s wisdom. But what’s the difference all about?It’s because they hailed from opposite backgrounds. You see, Kenny Ellis, a former boxer, came from a stable two-parent home, while Calvin Ford, a former member of the Boardley-Burrows drug organization, was raised in the tough streets of West Baltimore. Ford’s journey led him through a 10-year stretch in prison, while Ellis found his inspiration in boxing. However, together they taught Gervonta Davis not only how to throw punches, but also to survive the hardest blows life can throw at you.Does Gervonta Davis still train with Mayweather?The answer is a resounding no. And why would Gervonta Davis even consider returning to that situation? Especially when he has the unwavering support of two rock-solid coaches by his side. The drama surrounding Floyd Mayweather’s actions only adds fuel to the fire. It reached a boiling point when the Baltimore native accused Money of kicking him out of his gym.For those who might not recall, Gervonta Davis parted ways with both Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team back in 2022, and let’s just say Floyd wasn’t exactly thrilled about it. Fast forward to 2023, and when Davis was preparing for his highly anticipated match against Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas, Mayweather made it crystal clear that Tank was no longer welcome to train in his gym.Despite Floyd Mayweather’s insistence that there’s no bad blood between him and Gervonta Davis, his actions tell a different story. While publicly claiming to remain on good terms, Mayweather seemed to throw a subtle but sharp jab when he leaked an old training video of Davis sparring with Devin Haney. In the footage, Davis is seen out of shape and struggling to keep up with “The Dream.” And you know what? The timing of the release was undeniably suspicious. It came right after Gervonta Davis had secured an impressive 8th-round KO victory against Frank Martin in June last year. Was Mayweather trying to plant seeds of doubt, casting Gervonta Davis as a failure despite his recent success?And naturally, Coach Calvin and Ellis weren’t about to sit back and stay quiet about it. Their frustration was palpable—after all, loyalty is a two-way street. In October 2024, Gervonta Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford, alongside assistant coach Kenny Ellis, aired their frustrations in a candid video posted on Ford’s Instagram. “If Tank is like a son to Floyd, why would you put him out of the gym? The biggest fight of his career and you ban him. Why? Did you want him to lose?” Coach Ellis questioned Mayweather.Who is Gervonta Davis’ promoter and manager now?Even though Al Haymon’s PBC still promotes Tank, after parting ways with Mayweather Promotions in 2022, Gervonta Davis has taken control of his own career as the head of his own promotional company, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis Promotions. Tank assumes the role of CEO, with Ravone Littlejohn serving as the president of GTD Promotions, who along with the PBC orchestrate all of Davis’ fights. Ravone Littlejohn and Gervonta Davis were also spotted together at their last press conference, ahead of Tank’s highly anticipated fight against Lamont Roach Jr. on March 1st, marking an exciting new chapter in Davis’ career.With that said, what do you think about his journey?
