Gervonta Davis meets Leo Santa Cruz in a blockbuster fight in San Antonio on Saturday.

The American and Mexican will come in at the 130 pounds, but both the WBA super featherweight and lightweight titles will be on the line.

Tank has been guided to this point by promoter and mentor Floyd Mayweather Jr, with the pay-per-view event the first of his career.

Santa Cruz, now 32 and seven years Davis’ senior, will hope his work rate will cause his opponent issues, having struggled to put away a determined Yuriorkis Gamboa last time out until the 12th round after flooring the Cuban in the second.

Here’s everything you need to know about the fight.
