'Tank' retained his WBA lightweight title and won the WBA super featherweight title, with fans and even UFC superstar Conor McGregor impressed by his performance.
My lord! What a vicious uppercut that was. Praying for the health and safety of Santa Cruz there. The young man "Tank" Davis has some serious venom in that back hand shot. Incredible!@ProperWhiskey fight night

Davis spoke following the fight and despite being just 25-years-old, he broke down why he went for the uppercut.
"He was just right there for it," he stated per The Sun. "He's a guy that he punches but he doesn't try and get out of the way when he punches.
"There's nowhere he could have went as the ropes were there, that's how a professional fighter knows, they adapt to the fight.
"He's a tough warrior, a strong Mexican, he came to fight, he came ready but I was just a better person tonight."


Now Davis is a two-weight champion, he's also admitted he sees his future fighting in both divisions.
"I'll maintain it at both," he continued.
"Whatever best decision that my team and I come up with we'll go with it but the best opportunity to fight, I'm not ducking or dodging nobody.
"As you know, there's no safety on this block.
"I'm a pay-per-view star, second I ain't ducking or dodging nobody, they know what it is, I'm No1, it showed tonight."
