Gervonta Davis steps up in the biggest fight of his career on Saturday against veteran Leo Santa Cruz in a battle for the WBA super featherweight and lightweight titles.

The fight will take place in San Antonio, Texas, with the contract weight set at 130 pounds, crucially this will present a challenge for the American, who missed weight against Francisco Fonseca.

Will ‘Tank’ be able to finally showcase his full potential after leaving his hometown of Baltimore to Las Vegas to work closely with his trainer Calvin Ford alongside mentor and promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr?

With Teofimo Lopez, Vasiliy Lomachenko, Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Luke Campbell and many more in the mix in and around both fighters’ weight, the winner should have many options ahead.

Here’s everything you need to know about the fight at the Alamodome in Texas.
