Gervonta Davis, now Abdul Wahid since he converted to Islam, called out Conor Benn. After Conor Benn won his fight against Peter Dobson, ‘Tank’ took to social media and expressed his interest in fighting ‘The Destroyer’. Immediately, Benn replied to Davis with a positive message. Soon, promoter Eddie Hearn joined the conversation too.
Benn publicly declared he wanted to face none other than Gervonta Davis next in the ring. At this, although ‘Tank’ slammed Conor Benn, he instructed ‘The Destroyer’ to start preparing for the fight. Here is what happened on X.
Smell of a fight: Gervonta Davis, Conor Benn, and Eddie Hearn “on the same page”
In December, last year, Conor Benn declared on X that the winner of his potential fight with Devin Haney should face Gervonta Davis. Additionally, ‘The Destroyer’ called ‘Tank’ a “dwarf“. Now, after Benn defeated Peter Dobson on February 3rd via UD, Gervonta Davis took to X and reminded ‘The Destroyer’ that he was “still waiting”. In his reply, Benn assured ‘Tank’ that the fight was on its way. “It’s coming don’t worry,” wrote Benn. In addition, Benn tagged Eddie Hearn and asked the same to dive in.
In his reply, Eddie Hearn wrote, “Done“. At this, Benn expected Gervonta Davis to take a screenshot of the conversation that took place between them on X. Likewise, he added, “Let’s just wait Gervunpa lumpa to screen grab the conversation“. However, the current WBA Lightweight champion, who accused Benn of cheating, replied he was on the same page as Benn and Eddie.
Following this conversation involving Eddie Hearn, Conor Benn and Gervonta Davis emphasized that they would share the ring.
A day of multiple callouts for Conor Benn!
Of late, team Devin Haney wanted to land a fight with Gervonta Davis. However, there has not been a deal. On the other hand, when Conor Benn stepped inside the ring with Peter Dobson, Errol Spence Jr. and Devin Haney mocked ‘The Destroyer’. While Spence Jr. referred to Benn’s failed VADA test, Haney questioned Benn’s power. As a result, after the fight, Benn challenged both Spence Jr. and Haney. At this, although fans expected either Benn vs. Spence Jr. or Benn vs. Haney, ‘The Destroyer’ declared he wanted ‘Tank’ next.
Likewise, Benn wrote to Davis, “Don’t be all talk either, let’s make sure this happens next.” In his reply to Benn, Davis wrote, “You doing too much talking now…stfu and get to work, see you soon”. With that said, do you think Davis and Benn will fight? Would you like to see the bout?
