Gervonta Davis is a brave man. Whether it’s taking on the best boxers of his generation or making a fashion statement, the WBA lightweight champion doesn’t back down from any challenge, as he demonstrated this Saturday in his fight against Frank Martin.

“Tank” Davis lived up to his name this Saturday at the MGM Grand Graden Arena in Las Vegas, where he demolished Martin in eight rounds. With the victory, Davis retained the World Boxing Association (WBA) belt and strengthened his leverage for future contracts.

Amid the commotion caused by his demonstration in the ring, some eagle-eyed fans noticed the champion’s footwear. Davis entered the ring wearing black shoes with multicolored figures that matched his shorts.

According to fans and media, the shoes were a Chrome Hearts customized design. The luxury clothing and accessories brand is relatively young but has made its way into the market thanks to its bold and one-of-a-kind designs.

What is the price of Davis shoes?

Because it is a custom design, there is no official price for Davis’ footwear. However, some fans on X, formerly Twitter, speculated that the accessory value could be worth up to $100,000.

The high price has to do with exclusivity. In addition to being custom-made, with a unique design, Chrome Hearts advertises itself as a luxury goods brand with only a few stores in the United States, but it distributes throughout the world.

The brand began operations in 1988, and since then, it has collaborated with other stars such as The Rolling Stones, the K-pop group 2NE1, the models Bella and Gigi Hadid, and with other luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Baccarat.

Davis’s bizarre fashion choices

This wasn’t the first time Davis has stepped into the ring with custom luxury accessories. In 2021, “Tank” decided to make a heartfelt but very unusual tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers idol, Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter accident in 2020.

In that fight against Isaac Cruz, all of Davis’ clothing was a tribute to the “Mamba.” His robe and his shorts bore the Lakers colors and the numbers 8 and 24 that Bryant wore in his career. The design of the champion’s shoes was reminiscent of Kobe’s famous “Grinches.”

“Tank” Davis is a bold man in and out of the ring, and his outfits back that up. After his most recent fashion statement, we can only wait to see what else he will surprise us with in his next fights.

Gervonta Davis is already looking ahead to his next fight after taking down Frank Martin via KO over the weekend.

The 29-year-old looked impressive in defending his WBA lightweight title, with fans already wondering who he will take on next given there are several potential opponents.

One of those names being talked about is Shakur Stevenson, with fans eager to see the two step into the ring together. However, if recent reports are anything to go by, it appears fans will have to wait with Davis in talks to face Vasyl Lomachenko according to promoter Bob Arum.

The news hasn’t been warmly received by everyone, with former world champions Paulie Malignaggi insisting that Davis should be fighting Stevenson given he is in his prime.

“Now, I want to see Davis and Stevenson. That’s my issue. That’s my problem with boxing,” Malignaggi told ProBox TV.

“They make fights when it’s convenient for them when there’s an advantage. Davis looked terrific [against Frank Martin]. I was very impressed with the performance.

“But Shakur Stevenson is a different proposition than anybody else. It’s times ten when Shakur is in there because Shakur is the tall, rangy southpaw with a lot more IQ and a lot more versatility with his style.

“I’d love to see the fight. I’m saying this because I want to see the fight.

“I think Davis is very qualified for that fight. Do I edge Shakur? I’ve always edged Shakur. I think Davis is very qualified for that fight. He looks terrific.

“He’s a thinker. It’s not just the twitch and the power. It’s also his understanding in there. He knows how to set things up.

” I want to see two get it on. Not later. I want to see them get it on now in their prime.”

Davis has been criticised in the past

This isn’t the first time Davis has received criticism over his selection of opponents.

He somewhat put that to bed by defeating Ryan Garcia via KO back in April 2023.

While a unification fight against Lomachenko, who holds the IBF title, would make sense for Davis, fans are still hoping he’ll fight Stevenson, who holds the WBC title, instead.

However, should Davis beat the Ukrainian, then the Stevenson fight could be for three belts.

Gervonta Davis continued his knockout streak on Saturday night.

‘Tank’s’ stunning eighth-round stoppage win over Frank Martin to retain his WBA lightweight world title marked his 28th knockout in 30 professional fights.

Davis’ 93.3 per cent knockout ratio is the second-best in the sport for an active world champion, with only Artur Beterbiev (100 per cent) ranking ahead of him.

But there was further reason to celebrate for the Baltimore banger in the immediate aftermath of his last outing as he has now surpassed his former mentor Floyd Mayweather for career knockout wins.

While Davis has 28 KOs to his name, Mayweather could only manage 27 during his illustrious 50-0 career.

The last of those came in his final pro fight with Conor McGregor in 2017 to break a six-year decision streak.

Mayweather had a solid dig on him during his days as a super-featherweight, lightweight and super-lightweight.

But when he moved further up in weight he sacrificed size and therefore stopping power.

At welterweight and super-welterweight it was his supreme defence and expert counterpunching that won him fights over the distance.

Davis – who was promoted and managed by Mayweather for several years before their acrimonious split in 2022 – has adopted many of ‘TBE’s’ defensive traits.

Meanwhile, he also has the one-punch knockout power to make him one of the most complete fighters in boxing today.

Although he has proved to be a bigger puncher than Mayweather, he will have to get a move on if he hopes to surpass ‘Money’s’ legacy.

The 29-year-old is a two-weight world champion and has never held more than one belt at the same weight simultaneously.

In stark contrast, Mayweather won world titles in five weight classes, was a unified belt holder in two of them, and a lineal champion in four.

Since parting ways two years ago, Mayweather and Davis have been embroiled in a bitter feud.

Ahead of his fight with Ryan Garcia last year, Davis accused Mayweather of kicking him out of the Mayweather gym.

At this point, it would be a miracle if a Gervonta Davis fight didn’t end in a knockout. And it seems like they just get better and better.

On Saturday night, Tank put his WBA lightweight title on the line against unbeaten Frank Martin. After a slow start, which he later attributed to being “rusty“, Davis shut everything down with an amazing knockout that will have a high spot on his career highlight reel.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis now 30-0 with 28 KOs

This definitely wasn’t a perfect performance from Davis. We’ve grown used to seeing him start out cautious out of the gate, biding his time before finding opening for big shots. But he seemed to be particularly affected from not having fought since April 2022.

But after the first three rounds, Tank started landing really hard shots on Martin, and Martin couldn’t withstand the constant forward pressure. Martin actually started Round 8 with a couple of decent combinations, but Tank put it all to bed with a vicious left-handed uppercut that was followed by the fight-ending punch.

Tank will have plenty of options to choose from for his next opponent, although the current rumors have a fight with Vasiliy Lomachenko as a strong possibility.
