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.”

Gervonta Davis and promoter Eddie Hearn have found themselves at odds over Ryan Garcia‘s recent failed drug tests.

Garcia tested positive for ostarine in two separate tests conducted by VADA, just before and on the day of his victory over Devin Haney last month.

The social media altercation

In a surprising move, Davis came to Garcia‘s defense, suggesting that the young boxer was being set up. Davis took aim at Hearn on social media, prompting the promoter to confront Davis in private messages.

“You talk some s*** you do,” Hearn wrote after posting the messages.

Davis replied: “You know what you are.”

“Nah, and you don’t know me either. The s*** they fill your head with,” Hearn responded.

Davis went on: “”I know what’s facts and what you did before. I read through all that bull****.”

Their feud escalated publicly, with Hearn tweeting, “Only one clown here. One minute you are accusing him, one minute you are saying he’s been set up.”

Davis responded via Twitter, saying: “I know what you are and what you do. You are a snake in a suit that fake a** smile doesn’t fool me.”

Hearn retorted: “Your head has fallen off.”

Davis responded: “And I would knock your head clean off your shoulders mate.”

“With a step ladder,” Hearn concluded.

Garcia‘s victory over Haney was a significant moment, marking his comeback after being defeated by Davis in April 2023. However, the positive drug tests have cast a shadow over his win.

It’s a crazy world! Ryan Garcia tests positive for a banned substance. His opponent’s corner condemns it, but his older opponent supports him. In a recent pinch, the Victorville native came under fire for testing positive for a banned substance before and during the fight against Devin Haney last month. However, that’s not the twist in the story! The real twist reared its head when Gervonta Davis tweeted about it.

Earlier today, Mike Coppinger from ESPN broke the news on X, revealing Garcia has tested positive for “the PED Ostarine.” While Garcia has ten days to request testing of his B-Sample, most people, including ‘The Dream’ Haney, have already branded the 25-year-old a cheater. However, ‘Tank’ Davis isn’t one of them, who accused Eddie Hearn, Haney’s promoter, of concocting the whole thing on social media.

Gervonta Davis brands boxing world “d**k s***ers”

Hours after the news broke, Davis hopped on X with a scathing message for the people accusing Garcia of cheating. In a now deleted tweet, the Baltimore native wrote, “They [are] doing anything to take away the win from Ryan..if that’s the case BANNED EDDIE HEARN SILVER POON A**!” However, Davis quickly realized one tweet wasn’t enough to express his disdain!

So, he took another shot at it! In a following tweet [also deleted], he bashed the entire boxing world, backing Garcia while accusing Eddie Hearn of some serious stuff. “The whole boxing world is straight d**k s***ers.. and every boxer on my tl that claiming Ryan cheated.. tf he got to cheat for, we fought nothin[g] came back positive.. he fight on the side (DAZN) w the promoter CLEARY want his fighter to win and got PUT! Eddie know for doin[g] dirtys**t,” wrote Davis.

However, there’s always two sides to a story, so here’s how Devin Haney reacted to the new revelation about Ryan Garcia’s drug tests.

Devin Haney calls out Ryan Garcia for dirty tactics and lack of remorse

According to a tweet from Coppinger, Devin Haney has issued a statement to ESPN following the groundbreaking update. “Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive not once, but twice,” Haney’s statement read. Claiming he has always advocated for clean fights, Haney suggests Garcia has no remorse.

“Ryan owes the fans an apology, and by his recent tweet he still thinks this is a joke,” wrote Haney. Highlighting boxers put their lives on the line to entertain the masses, Haney feels his fight against Garcia can be seen from a whole new perspective. In addition, to make his stance even clearer, Haney wrote, “People die in this sport. This isn’t a joking matter.”

That being said, it’s yet to be seen whether Ryan Garcia will be able to clear his name amid the controversy. However, it’s worth mentioning that ‘The Flash’ had missed weight before the fight, so he doesn’t have to worry about losing the belt. Who do you think is on the right here? Gervonta Davis, who fought Garcia in the past or Devin Haney, who was embarrassed after Garcia exposed his lack of skills.

In response to the unfolding controversy surrounding Ryan Garcia’s alleged doping violation, fellow boxer Gervonta Davis has come out swinging, expressing his support for Garcia and calling for repercussions against promoter Eddie Hearn.

Davis took to social media to voice his outrage at the attempts to discredit Garcia’s recent victory over Devin Haney, bluntly stating, “They doing anything to take away the win from Ryan.” In a show of solidarity with his fellow boxer, Davis condemned what he perceives as a concerted effort to undermine Garcia’s achievements in the ring.

However, Davis didn’t stop there. In a scathing rebuke directed at promoter Eddie Hearn, Davis minced no words, calling for drastic action in response to the controversy. “if that’s the case BANNED EDDIE HEARN SILVER POON A**!” Davis exclaimed, suggesting that Hearn should face consequences if the allegations against Garcia are indeed proven false.

Davis’s impassioned response reflects the intense emotions running high within the boxing community as the fallout from Garcia’s failed drug test reverberates throughout the sport. With accusations flying and reputations on the line, Davis’s outspoken support for Garcia underscores the sense of solidarity among fighters in the face of adversity.

As the controversy continues to unfold, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on Ryan Garcia and the integrity of the sport. With voices like Gervonta Davis adding to the chorus of support, the boxing world braces for further developments in this unfolding saga.

Gervonta Davis added a new chapter to his growing rivalry with Floyd Mayweather Jr. “Tank” Davis continues to escalate his feud with his former manager, this time taking to his social media to air the legal problems that Mayweather is facing in Dubai.

There has yet to be an official confirmation from Mayweather’s corner. Nevertheless, international media revealed Dubai authorities detained the former world champion on unspecified charges.

Boxing Hall of Fame elector Rick Glase later confirmed the news via his X, formerly Twitter, account, saying, “Just got off the phone with my guy in Dubai, he told me that Floyd Mayweather is definitely being held by the Government court system there as he owes a substantial amount of money in Dubai.”

In the absence of any news from Mayweather himself, fans of the former welterweight champion were quick to question “Tank’s” claims. However, the boxer immediately responded, “He gotta pay them people that money back… if I’m lying, tell him to go live rn (right now).”

Davis’s new blow

Far from leaving the matter alone, Davis recently published a post on his Instagram Stories, showing a screenshot of a medium called Gossip of The City. In the image, you can read that “Floyd is being held by government officials in Dubai. He’s trying to work out something with them to be able to return home.”

True to form, Davis captioned the pic: “He (Mayweather) tried to leave today..they said ‘Nope, sit still before I f*ck you up.'”

In a second story, “Tank” shared a clip from the movie “Above the Rim,” with a not-so-veiled message for the former champion: “You ain’t no the motherf*cking man no more. I’m the one.”

Mayweather’s response

Amid this coming and going of social media posts, Mayweather took the time to respond to Davis. After the first revelations from his former protégé, “Money” posted a video on his social media, showing “Tank” dancing.

The former boxer captioned the video saying, “We always knew he had sugar in his Tank,” in an allusion to Davis’ sexuality.

As the feud between the two fighters continues, only time will reveal the truth about Mayweather’s arrest in Dubai.

Floyd Mayweather will be hoping he has found his Gervonta Davis replacement.

Mayweather Promotion’s up-and-coming lightweight Jursly Carlos Vargas has been drawing comparisons to Davis for his explosive all-action fight style and has got off to a flying start in his pro career.

The Curacao native turned over in November 2022, knocking out Yanko Naydenov inside the opening stanza in Amsterdam, Holland.

His devastating performance caught the eye of Mayweather, who snapped him up shortly after.

“That fight went viral, it came on ESPN and everything. Two weeks after the fight, I was on the phone with Mayweather Promotions,” he told Broadway Joel.

“Two weeks after that, I was signed and two weeks after that I moved to Las Vegas [to the Mayweather Gym].”
