While Ryan Garcia battles allegations of using PEDs in light of his ‘Dream’ win, Gervonta Davis found himself wading into the controversy. Most believed that Tank was earlier siding with Devin Haney after the latter lost to Ryan Garcia. However, now, ‘Tank’ has made it abundantly clear that he is not fond of ‘The Dream’. Visuals have emerged showing the WBA Regular lightweight champion confronting his Devin Haney in person.
On his X profile, boxing reporter, Michael Benson posted a blurry clip of Tank along with a group of guys having an argument with another group of people that included Devin Haney. He wrote, “An obscured video has now emerged seemingly showing Gervonta Davis confronting Devin Haney in person today…” In the video, Tank can be repeatedly heard yelling, “I’m on your side… I’m on your side.” While the clip is going viral on the internet, another entity has jumped into the mix.
Conor Benn earlier today chimed in from across the pond. The English fighter took a direct swipe at both Tank and Haney. He wrote, “Angry little man being aggressive towards women again.” While it is clear that the “angry little man” dig was toward Davis, the “women” dig seems to be a shot at Haney. Earlier this year, Eddie Hearn, Conor Benn’s promoter, wanted to match Benn against both Haney and Gervonta Davis. However, both turned it down.
The clip seems like the crescendo of a confrontation that emanated from the well-planned provocation on Tank’s side.
Is Gervonta Davis looking for a fight?
Earlier today, the 29-year-old posted images of him with a luxury jeep parked by the street. In the caption, he wrote, “Aha, can’t stop s*** and we on their side.” However, later in the comments section, he confirmed that the Mercedes Benz G63 belonged to Devin Haney.
In another deleted X post, he wrote, “Tell them how I made you and your team dip out, and I’m on your side of town. That n***a a cold b***h.” While this could all just be a troll Tank was pulling, Haney too confirmed that the car was really his. He took cognizance of Tank’s post and responded, “This n***a like my car so much, he took a picture next to it. Send him one @championmotoring.”
In the past, Haney has tried to rope Tank into a fight. But things reached an unintended peak between them when Ryan Garcia leaked footage of Haney and Davis’ sparring from their formative days. In it, Haney could be seen taking major beatings at the hands of Tank. Now that the Baltimore-based fighter is all set to take on Frank Martin in June, it seems like he’s also batting for his next opponent, which might as well be Devin Haney.
