Gervonta Davis proved his might when he dethroned a rising star with a thunderous knockout victory over Rolly Romero. The sixth-round left-hand blast extinguished Romero’s perfect record and solidified Davis’ dominance in the lightweight division. Before the explosive finish, the fight lived up to its bad blood billing.

Romero, considered Davis’ biggest threat, surprised many by holding his own. One judge even had him leading on the scorecards. But Davis, known for his knockout power, turned the outcome in his favor. Besides this, Romero sat down for an interview with his promoter Leonard Ellerbe, who recalled the conversation they had right after his fight against ‘Tank’.

Leonard Ellerbe goes back to the memory lane

In a candid conversation with the boxer Rolly Romero and his promoter Leonard Ellerbe on Fight Hub TV, details emerged about their discussion following Romero’s defeat to Gervonta Davis on May 28, 2022. Ellerbe revealed the depth of their conversation. He further highlighted Romero’s initial dejection and the subsequent pep talk aimed at lifting his spirits. He stated, “I give you another great example. After the Tank fight, we were on the plane together, we sat next to each other and we literally talk for five-five and a half hours…”

Then he also added, “Yeah, and we talked the entire time. And obviously he was dejected, you know. Coming off of his first loss, and the magnitude of what it was. And I was just like, ‘Yo like, pick your damn head up. Yo, it’s like you lost to the best motherf***er in the entire world, okay. You’re not going to fight anybody else like him. Nobody’s going to be better than him that you ever step in the ring with in this generation right here.”

He stated that the best boxer won that night, and he shouldn’t be making any excuses because he did his best as a fighter. Moreover, Romero even compared his upcoming opponent Isaac Cruz‘s fight against Davis with his fight against Tank.

Rolly Romero gives a perfect comparison

Super lightweight champion Rolly Romero throws shade at Gervonta Davis ahead of his own fight with Isaac Cruz. Romero claims Davis’s struggle against Cruz wasn’t a sign of Cruz’s brilliance, but Davis’s limitations. Romero points to a hidden injury and Cruz’s shorter stature as reasons for Davis’s lackluster performance.

Davis is known for his power, but Romero suggests Cruz’s height threw him off balance, causing confusion and hindering his ability to unleash his left hand. “Everybody says Pitbull did this and that,” Romero scoffs, implying the praise for Cruz is overblown. For Romero, the only reason for the hype is Davis’s failure to secure a knockout.

He contrasts this with his dominant performance, which ended abruptly with a knockout loss in round 6. Though the loss stung, Romero maintains a positive spin. He highlights the experience as a catalyst for growth, both in the ring and as a person.

A dark cloud hangs over Baltimore, Maryland, the hometown of undefeated boxer Gervonta Davis. A cargo ship rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday, causing a partial collapse and leaving a city in shock. The incident has taken a tragic turn, with officials presuming the six missing individuals as dead.

Search efforts have been paused as the city grapples with the aftermath of this disaster. Reports suggest the ship lost power, leading to the high-speed collision. Davis sent his prayers for the families of the victims of such a disaster, as he expressed his condolences on social media.

Gervonta Davis supports his hometown

After a year-long hiatus, Gervonta Davis is expected to return to the ring on 15 June against undefeated opponent Frank Martin. And the banter between the duo seems to have started with a sparring session. Earlier today, the Baltimore native turned to social media to warn his upcoming opponent for making some bold claims about their old sparring session.

‘Tank’ Davis hasn’t fought anyone since defeating Ryan Garcia in April last year, so fans have been eagerly awaiting his return. Even though nothing has been finalized yet, the back and forth between them points in the right direction. Meanwhile, one of Martin’s interviews with Naji seems to have rubbed Davis the wrong way!

Gervonta Davis threatens to upload the sparring video

Turning to X (formerly Twitter), a user shared a clip from Martin’s interview with Naji from Cigar Talk. In the clip, Naji questioned Martin about his sparring session with Davis, where Martin allegedly got hurt, something Davis had also claimed. In response, Martin boldly claimed that it was “Big Cap.” He went as far as to say that things were the opposite way around

Claiming he never got hurt, Martin stated, “I hurt that ni***.” Of course, ‘Tank’ Davis wasn’t going to have any of it, so he quickly hopped on the platform to reveal the truth. In a now-deleted tweet, Davis wrote, “Keep talking.. Ima upload the video.” What’s more, a social media post from Davis might just have confirmed his fight next month.

‘Tank’ Davis confirms fight is in June

Despite no official word, as per reports, Davis and Martin may share the limelight with David Benavidez and his opponent Oleksandr Gvozdyk. The fight will also see Davis’ WBA lightweight title on the line. More importantly, Davis might have confirmed his fight date with a post on social media. He shared a picture from his fight against Ryan Garcia and simply wrote “June” in the caption.

Moreover, Davis’ fans interpreted the post in several different ways. While some thought he was teasing a rematch against Ryan Garcia, others thought it was a warning for Martin. However, given Garcia is slated to fight Devin Haney on April 20, that fight is unlikely to happen. The post most likely was Davis’ way of predicting what he would do to his next opponent, i.e. Martin.

With that said, a fight between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin has started to seem real, but only time will tell whether Davis gets to enter the ring again. Who do you think would win if the duo collided in June?

In an unfortunate twist, a cargo ship rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, causing it to collapse early Tuesday. The same city from which famed boxing star Gervonta Davis, aka Abdul Wahid, originates. As soon as the shocking news came to light, it started spreading on the internet like wildfire, leaving fans worried for the undefeated boxer.

The incident in question has potentially turned deadly as the officials revealed that the six missing individuals after the incident are now presumably dead. Moreover, the search for those six has been paused to be resumed on Wednesday morning. According to various reports, the collision was the result of the ship losing power as it barreled towards the bridge at high speed.

Maryland’s governor, Wes Moore, claimed that the crew present on the ship had sent out a mayday call moments before the collision, allowing the authorities to limit traffic to the bridge. The entire incident was caught on camera, and the ship can be seen releasing puffs of smoke as the lights on the ship flickered before the accident.

The news was then picked up by BNO News and shared on X (formerly Twitter). The American news outlet shared the clip with the caption reading, “BREAKING: Ship collides with Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing it to collapse.” Discovering the carnage in Baltimore, Ray Jackson quickly raised concerns about Gervonta Davis!

Fans reassure the hardcore boxing fan about Gervonta Davis’ wellbeing

Before anything else, as per a recent tweet from ‘Tank’ Davis, he is A-OK! In fact, he paid his condolences for the horrific accident. However, before this tweet from Davis, Jackson, the hardcore boxing fan, directly asked Davis about his and his family’s whereabouts, wanting to confirm that they were fine.

Meanwhile, one user responded to Jackson’s tweet, echoing the same sentiment and wishing for Davis’ safety amid the crisis.

Someone else highlighted that Davis surely doesn’t live on the bridge, and the chances of him being there are really low. Moreover, as mentioned before, officials managed to limit the traffic flow to the bridge before the collision.

Jake Paul’s bold comments on boxing have stirred the pot again. This time, it’s about Ryan Garcia’s defeat. Garcia, floored by Gervonta Davis with a body shot, couldn’t rise on 20th April 2023. The moment was intense, and pivotal in the bout’s outcome. Meanwhile, Paul gears up for an unexpected ring return on 20th July.

His opponent? Boxing legend Mike Tyson. Yes, Tyson, 30 years older than Paul, is stepping back into the fray. Could Paul’s critique of Garcia come back to haunt him? Fans definitely are making him regret that.

Problem Child makes his pick for the Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney fight

Jake Paul didn’t mince words on the B/S Podcast. The conversation unfolded with the co-host probing, “What do you think the odds are that the fight with him and Devin Haney actually goes through and happens?” Without hesitation, Paul estimated, “I would say it’s like a 50-50.” But it was his next remark that turned heads. When asked about his pick for the fight, Paul declared, “Devin. He’s gonna smoke him.”

He elaborated, criticizing Garcia’s dedication and heart. “One person who’s been in the gym taking the sport seriously, Ryan, isn’t taking it seriously,” he argued, “and he showed me his lack of heart by not getting up off the canvas when he basically quit.” The conversation didn’t end there. Touching upon a potential future matchup with Ryan Garcia, Paul expressed, “As like an exhibition, probably. I would love to just like deflate his little 130 pounds.” This candid exchange set the stage for the uproar to follow, as Paul’s stark assessments ignited a firestorm of reactions

Would Ryan Garcia cook Jake Paul?

Firstly, one fan expressed disdain, highlighting the irony in Paul’s critique, “Jake has no room to talk about lack of heart shown in a fight while he’s about to fight a 60-year-old man 😤.” Next, another fan reminded everyone of Paul’s own ring challenges, “Dude, you lost to Love Island Tommy Fury.” This comment cut to the core of Paul’s credibility, questioning his standing to critique others after his own defeats.

Furthermore, another fan offered a blunt prediction, “He’d cook you Jake, even with the weight difference.” This highlighted doubts about Paul’s capability to withstand fighters like Garcia, despite the bravado. This fan added a touch of humor to the critique, “If dude got hit with that same body shot he’d probably be in the hospital straight up😂.”

Whereas this person summed up the community’s sentiment with biting sarcasm, “Lack of heart but dude is gonna fight someone 30 years older than him😂😂😂😂😂.” This underscored the perceived absurdity of Paul’s upcoming bout with Tyson, contrasting it with his criticism of Garcia’s performance.

With success comes rivalries, and Gervonta Davis knows that quite well! Whether it’s Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, or Shakur Stevenson, everyone wants a piece of Davis’ fame. In a recent pinch, an old sparring clip of the Baltimore native and rising bantamweight star Elijah Pierce surfaced online, resulting in a heated back-and-forth between the fighters.

Currently, Davis is rumored to be on a collision course with fellow lightweight boxer Frank Martin this summer. However, nothing is official yet. On the other hand, Pierce is set to fight Arthur Villanueva from the Philippines.

Gervonta Davis accuses Elijah Pierce of leaking their sparring footage, amid back and forth

Turning to Instagram, Overtime Boxing shared the clip with the caption, “Elijah & Tank sparring back in the day. Great work from both guys.” When the 27-year-old boxer discovered the post later, he quickly tried to defend the knockdown shown in the clip. Elijah commented on the post, “Sorry to disappoint the Tank Franks, but that wasn’t me he dropped. [It] was my sparring partner—check again. [I] already debunked this, lol.”

However, ‘Tank’ Davis disagreed—in a now-deleted comment on the post, Davis wrote, “I knocked you out cold. And when I see you [I will] do it again. Since you [want to] keep sending this bull***t clip out.” Responding to Davis’ comment, Elijah mocked Davis’ claim that he knocked him out, suggesting he didn’t leak the sparring clip. Meanwhile, Davis himself confirmed his next fight date, albeit the identity of his opponent remains murky at best.

‘Tank’ Davis answers fan’s request

Since defeating Ryan Garcia last April via seventh-round knockout, the WBA lightweight champion has been collecting dust on the sidelines. However, since 2024 rolled, people have been abuzz about his comeback. At first, it was Conor Benn, but Davis didn’t like the offer Eddie Hearn made for the fight, so that was quickly scrapped.

However, some chatter revealed Davis may face his undefeated counterpart, Frank Martin, in the summer. While there’s no concrete evidence that Martin will be his next opponent, the month of the fight is finally confirmed. On March 21, a fan asked Davis about his next fight on X, and Davis simply responded by writing, “June.”

As the sport evolves and new contenders emerge with the quest to become the best boxers in the world. However, it’s a revolving door as a loss or a change in weight class shakes up the rankings of the pound-for-pound best. While the sport boasts a rich history filled with legendary figures and seasoned veterans who once dominated the ring, the focus remains on the current crop of top-tier boxers who redefine excellence with their unparalleled skill, unique fighting styles, and impressive winning records.

These modern-day pugilists inherit the legacy of their predecessors while forging their own path to greatness, captivating fans with their extraordinary talents and unwavering dedication to the sport. With each passing year and decade, the torch is passed from one generation of boxing stars to the next, as today’s champions strive to surpass the feats of those who came before them.

Ryan Garcia can’t catch a break! The Victorville native just became an unwitting victim to Gervonta Davis’ warning shots at Frank Martin. Davis last appeared in the ring in April last year against Garcia, and now, multiple sources suggest he would fight ‘The Ghost’ on June 15. So, Davis turned to social media today to issue a warning to Martin.

Despite his nearly a year-long hiatus from the sport, Gervonta Davis had a stable of fighters to choose from. At first, it seemed like a fight against Conor Benn was imminent, but despite Eddie Hearn’s offer, Davis saw Martin as a worthy adversary. However, the question is, how did Garcia come into this equation?

Gervonta Davis confirms fight date!

Turning to Instagram, Davis shared a still from his last fight against Garcia! The image captured the very moment when referee Thomas Taylor had stopped the fight, seeing Garcia’s discomfort because of the body shot landed by Davis beforehand. Meanwhile, Davis captioned the post simply with “June,” seemingly confirming the month for his next fight.

The image and the caption were, of course, a subtle warning for his upcoming opponent, showcasing what Martin should expect when he enters the ring against Davis. Martin and Davis are expected to headline on Amazon Prime Video pay-per-view, a second for them in partnership with PBC. Meanwhile, the Baltimore native got roped into the whole boxing vs. MMA debate.

Can Gervona Davis survive in the octagon?

In the recent past, Francis Ngannou’s venture into the sweet science has given rise to a raging debate about boxers against MMA fighters. While everyone would agree Davis would dominate most MMA guys in the ring, Tyrone Woodley thinks Davis has zero chance in the octagon against Demetrious Johnson.

In a recent Instagram post, the retired mixed martial artist spoke about the fantasy matchup, claiming, “I don’t think Gervonta Davis could defeat Demetrious Johnson. I think he would be too much to deal with.” He further added, “I think Demetrious is too skilled. I don’t think he can beat him. He would be on him like white on rice. That would be a fight I would actually watch.”

After what seems like a finalized deal between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin, the former has issued a strong warning and a prediction for his next fight! Even though Martin doesn’t have as impressive of a resume as Davis, he is an undefeated boxer. So, it would be interesting to see how Davis deals with Martin in the ring come June 15. Do you think Davis would walk through Martin? Let us know in the comments section below!
