Gervonta Davis has escalated his feud with Devin Haney — and the two boxers might have come close to blows outside of a nightclub in Las Vegas.
Davis and Haney have traded blows online in recent weeks, ever since Haney fell to a surprise defeat in his bout with Ryan Garcia. But the latest development in their feud has taken it from a simmer to a boil, running the risk of a physical altercation.
Why are Davis and Haney beefing?
Davis mocked Haney relentlessly on social media following the Garcia fight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, as hopes dim for a long-gestating bout between the two. Those hopes certainly will not have gotten a boost after the WBA lightweight title holder Davis posted a photo of himself to Instagram in which he claims to have located Haney’s Mercedes-Benz SUV.
And to make matters worse? Davis took a picture right alongside it.
The super lightweight champion Haney made light of Davis’ provocative post by jokingly asking San Diego-based dealership Champion Motoring to send Davis his own luxury vehicle, and some might have thought that this would bring an end to the latest installment in their feud. But later, phone camera footage appears to show Davis and Haney outside a club, shouting at one another amidst the commotion outdoors.
It’s anyone’s guess as to who will write the next chapter in the Tank – Haney saga, but as long as the two can’t come to an agreement, their differences will have to be settled outside the boxing ring.
