In order for Gervonta Davis to step into the boxing ring to take on defending champion Jose Pedraza for the 130-pound junior lightweight IBF title in Brooklyn, N.Y., Jan. 14, a fight Davis won by TKO in the seventh-round, the west Baltimore fighter first had to win another battle. The opponent was a quiet menace: the scale.

"I had some good days and some bad ones," Davis said referring to his weight before the Pedraza fight in a news release, "but when I followed the plan, I saw great results."
