Eddie Hearn’s ongoing feud with Gervonta Davis has escalated to the point where the Matchroom chief is now threatening to sue the Baltimore boxer.
The pair have had several dealings going back over the years, and Davis has often made public messages Hearn has sent him with fight offers which he found insulting.
They were talking for a while about the possibility of Davis fighting the beleaguered Conor Benn, but Davis instead decided to take a world title defence against Frank Martin this summer.
Davis has been back on social media this week making comments in light of Ryan Garcia’s failed drug test before and after his win over Devin Haney.
He came up positive for ostranine, a steroid used to help build muscle mass, burn fat and increase stamina, and for a metabolite of nandrolone, which is a synthetic version of testosterone.
In the wake of the news, Davis took to social media to defend Garcia – who he beat by knockout last April – and also take aim at Hearn in a now-deleted message on X that read “They’re doing anything to take away the win from Ryan. If that’s the case, ban Eddie Hearn’s silver spoon ass.”
