Gervonta’s announcement Davis saying he will retire next year has raised some eyebrows. But only he surprisingly fulfilled his promise.
If Tank really wants to retire If he has enough business There is political deception. and invasion of privacy If he has what he considers to be enough money and want to devote all their time to their young children Truly his own, he would have packed his gloves.
Nothing can stop him.
As if nothing was stopping Joe Louis from walking away when he promised to do so while still in his long reign, or Sugar Ray Robinson when he kept coming back like new, or Muhammad Ali after the Joe fight Frazier the third time, or Larry Holmes when he was unbeaten, or Mike Tyson after Michaels. Spinks beat 91 seconds, or Oscar De La Hoya when he reached his scheduled 30th birthday, or Floyd Mayweather repeatedly insisted he would fight one last time during the The past decade and beyond, or Tyson Fury, who almost retired as many times as he fought.
The lure of the ring and everything that comes with it is perhaps the most powerful and toxic drug in sports. For a boxer, it’s more than just the incentive to trade blows. But it was a state they were familiar with. And how does that state make them feel? It helps them to stand tall in any field of work. feel appropriately proud of themselves and their talents Also consider where many of them come from. The story of a boxer who grew up poor and barely had a family life while abandoning the law. It is considered a traditional reason. liberation from that and feel appreciation and experience success It is considered a form of satisfaction.
The urge to retire, however fleeting, is certain to be real during this time. The idea that boxers are completely fearless or unaware of the dangers of their trade is a grave misconception. Ask Davis or any boxer what they want their children to grow up to be noble fighters. Wear their shoes and punch them in the head the same way? And very few people would answer agreeably and without hesitation.
Consider also the timing of His announcement. He was about to enter a three-month training camp. Which is the kind that he has a lot of experience with. He knows how difficult it is. How dark is it? And what is required for his mind and body to get into fighting shape? He also admits that he doesn’t like the hula that surrounds his competitions, the press conferences, the indifferent interviews. Constantly being asked to say or do stupid things for the benefit of whichever YouTube channel the camera is shoved down his throat. The whole process of both selling the fight and preparing for the fight. Waiting for him in front again
However, what came next made things difficult to kick. The excitement of walking on stage in a crowded arena Nervous power that stimulates all muscles to work together. and an irreplaceable feeling of victory and happiness. It’s a rush like no other – and one with takedowns softened by the aforementioned feeling of not only being a fighter, but also a fighter. But he is also a victorious and unstoppable fighter. In fact It is considered very lofty to live in life without the promises of others. When those special powers inevitably fade away It is often a change that is too painful.
And the realization that one day they won’t be able to do it anymore. This made breaking his retirement promise inevitable. Now, for Gervonta “Tank” Davis, it is easy to talk about retirement because deep down he knows the day he will retire from the sport. His stuff hasn’t arrived yet. He knows he can still do it. He knows that opportunities still abound. He knew the crowd would still come out cheering. And at least now he knows he can perform at the highest level. So, since he is still in the driver’s seat of a top luxury car, So he thought he could hit the brakes whenever he wanted.
The trick is to do it at the right time. And it is a trick that cannot be taught or come naturally. But make sure that for Davis and others. at the height of his powers which mocks the end of his career. Retirement isn’t easy to talk about when he knows. Whether personally or not That his best days had passed. Because at that time When the period of retirement was forced upon him He would wish with all his might to be as powerful as he is today.
Davis, who just turned 30, is talking about retiring. It is not because he feels that he has achieved all he has to achieve or earned all he has to earn. But it’s because he knows. Like a 20-day smoker who is sadly lighting up a fire. Their next cigarette One day he will have to stop.
