If confirmed, the move would mark one of the biggest changes of Davis’ professional career. Tank has worked with a familiar group of trainers throughout much of his rise to stardom, becoming one of boxing’s biggest attractions and a multi-division world champion.
Benavidez Sr. is best known for training his sons, former two-division world champion Jose Benavidez Jr. and current cruiserweight champion David Benavidez.
The reported partnership comes as Davis looks to rebound from a lengthy period of inactivity.
Tank has not fought since his controversial 12-round draw against Lamont Roach, a result that generated widespread debate among fans and media.
No opponent has been officially announced for Davis’ return, although speculation has continued to surround a potential showdown with Devin Haney after recent comments exchanged between the two fighters on social media.
Davis, 30-0-1 with 28 knockouts, remains one of boxing’s biggest draws despite his inactivity. The Baltimore native has captured world titles in three weight classes and has spent much of the past decade among the sport’s highest-profile fighters.
Neither Davis nor Benavidez Sr. had publicly confirmed the reported training arrangement at the time of publication.
