Gervonta "Tank" Davis might be serious about retiring from boxing in 2025 ... 'cause the undefeated fighter tells TMZ Sports he already has his post-fighting plans figured out.

We caught up with the 30-0 boxer after his press conference with Lamont Roach -- a 25-1 fighter he's set to face on March 1 at the Barclays Center in New York -- in which he mentioned his days in the ring are numbered.

Naturally, we had to follow up on that proclamation ... and it sounds like Tank's got it all mapped out.

If you thought Jake Paul was done taking on much older opponents, think again ... 'cause his next opponent was born long before the United States of freakin' America was founded -- a 392-year-old shark!!

El Gallo made the silly declaration on social media on Thursday ... joining in on the running joke about his knack for fighting people who have been around a lot longer than him.

In case you missed it, one X user shared a post about an alleged ancient shark that's been chilling in the Arctic Ocean since 1627 ... and everyone had the same response -- Jake Paul's got a new nemesis.

Jake Paul's meteoric rise in boxing is showing no signs of slowing down ... 'cause just weeks after his massive showdown with Mike Tyson, the Problem Child is being added as a playable character in "Undisputed Boxing!"

The video game makers made the announcement Thursday morning, saying Paul would be added to the project as part of "The Problem DLC Pack" on December 12, alongside other fighters like James "Buster" Douglas, Otto Wallin and Marco Barrera.

While his in-game beard is a little darker than his real-life facial hair, the developers seemingly nailed the rest of his character design!

Bryce Hall is returning to the ring ... and he's fighting MMA star turned boxer, Kevin Ferguson Jr. -- son of the street fighting legend, Kimbo Slice!

TMZ Sports has learned the 25-year-old TikTok star turned fighter will throw down with the former Bellator MMA star at BKFC's KnuckleMania V event next month at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

Eddie Alvarez vs. Jeremy Stephens -- both former UFC stars -- will be the main event.

"Baby Slice" last fought in April 2023 with Misfits Boxing ... losing via second-round TKO to Okemka Jibunor.

Mexican boxer Israel Vazquez -- a former three-time world champion in the super bantamweight division -- has passed away at 46 years old after a battle with cancer.

"May God give strength and support to his wife Laura, their children, family and friends during these difficult times," Sulaiman said on X.

Jake Paul's win over Mike Tyson did nothing to change Claressa Shields' opinion on how she'd fare against the boxer ... 'cause she tells TMZ Sports she still believes she'd whoop El Gallo's ass in the ring.

We caught up with the former world champion out at LAX ... and got her thoughts on all things Paul after his unanimous decision win over Iron Mike -- as well as the hate he's gotten over the years.

Shields believes the backlash isn't much about his skillset ... but more about his choice of opponents.

Conor McGregor might've lost his gig as the face of Proper No. 12, but his business corner isn't completely empty ... with one company telling TMZ Sports the results of the recent civil case will have zero impact on its relationship with the UFC superstar.

McGregor has racked up countless endorsement deals throughout his career ... including a deal with Swedish fitness brand Boxbollen, a product that promotes exercise at home.

We spoke with Boxbollen co-founder Jacob Eriksson days after a jury found McGregor liable for assaulting Nikita Ni Lamhain in 2018 ... and he said while the company takes these matters seriously, it's not abandoning the Irish athlete.

Amanda Serrano suffered a GNARLY gash above her eye fighting Katie Taylor, but the boxing star tells us she wasn't concerned about the massive cut ... she was only worried she'd miss Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson!

"Thank God that the doctor was a plastic surgeon and I told him, 'Please, I have two requests. Please don't make it look really bad, and can you do it in a little rush? Because I have to go watch Jake,'" 36-year-old Serrano told Babcock on TMZ Sports.

"[The doctor] did a great job and I'm happy with it. Thank God it's in the shape of the eyebrow so you can barely see it with a little bit of makeup."

Dee Devlin just went scorched earth on Conor McGregor's sexual assault accuser ... lighting her up in a series of Instagram posts on Tuesday afternoon.

In the IG Stories, the UFC superstar's longtime partner called Nikita Ni Lamhain -- who just won her civil case against McGregor in Ireland last week -- a liar ... and said straight up, "My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world."

Devlin claimed that back in 2018, prior to Ni Lamhain's suit against McGregor, Ni Lamhain would send "messages and pictures of herself over and over to my man" ... despite knowing he was in a committed relationship.

Ne-Yo is getting into boxing ... as a manager! The Grammy Award winner just signed his first fighter, Paul Bamba!

TMZ Sports has learned the R&B star recently signed 35-year-old Bamba, 18-3 with 17 knockouts, just about a month before the boxer fights Rogelio "Porky" Medina for the WBA Gold Cruiserweight title.

“I’m honored to work with NE-YO in this capacity and I’m grateful for his unwavering confidence in me,” Bamba, the WBA NABA Cruiserweight champ, said.

Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions is firing back at all the critics claiming his huge win over Mike Tyson wasn't legit ... saying there were absolutely zero restrictions stopping either side from performing to the best of their abilities.

There were plenty of naysayers after El Gallo defeated Iron Mike via unanimous decision ... mostly from people who refused to believe a 27-year-old YouTuber could beat a 58-year-old boxing legend.

Some dissected clips of the fight ... claiming there was evidence Tyson was pulling punches, with the belief being he did so to secure a bigger payday for letting Jake do his thing.

The developers of the super popular "Hitman" video game franchise are severing ties with Conor McGregor in wake of his civil assault case loss last week.

IO Interactive -- which put the controversial UFC superstar in its "Hitman" universe via an update earlier this year -- wrote in a post on X that it will begin removing all of its McGregor-related content this week.

"In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor," "Hitman" officials said, "IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately."

'Tis the season to see Mike Tyson's ass again?? That's at least what one male revue is hoping ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned the boxing legend is getting a hefty offer to host a holiday bash with his viral buns on full display!!

The folks over at Kings of Hustler in Las Vegas tell TMZ Sports they were among the millions of people who saw Iron Mike's ass during the Nov. 15 fight night on Netflix ... and shortly after his NSFW moment, they knew they wanted more.

As a result, the joint is now offering Tyson a $125,000 check ... just to show up and sport some chaps AND a banana hammock during its holiday festivities.

Conor McGregor didn't hold back Saturday morning ... just a day after he was found liable for assault in his civil rape case in Ireland.

CM first responded to an X post from the Irish Independent newspaper about the outcome of his case, which included the line, "Justice has been served."

The MMA star replied, "Justice was served for James Lawrence, yes! Deplorable what they done. Nikita hand, vicious liar! APPEAL!"

If Mike Tyson's days of getting paid to step in the ring are officially done ... fitness guru Shaun T tells TMZ Sports the boxing legend could still easily find a steady stream of revenue on an unlikely source -- OnlyFans!!

The "Insanity" workout star -- who's developed a massive OF following in recent years -- tells us after the world got a glimpse of Iron Mike's buttocks during the leadup to his fight with Jake Paul last week, he's confident people would fork over cash to see it even more.

In fact, Shaun T -- who's actually pals with Tyson -- jokingly scolded the 58-year-old for putting his ass on display before the Paul fight without charging!

Sydney Thomas -- the ring girl who went viral during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight -- is opening up on her newfound fame ... telling TMZ Sports she's received a ton of new business opportunities in the days following her breakout appearance.

Thomas was quickly dubbed the "real" star of the night after El Gallo defeated Iron Mike ... with social media showing serious love for her throughout the big event.

We caught up with Thomas one week after the night that changed her life ... and she said it's been "insane" in the best possible way.
