Floyd Mayweather has reportedly leaked footage of Gervonta “Tank” Davis getting knocked out during sparring, sparking significant controversy in the boxing community. This incident adds to the ongoing tumultuous relationship between Mayweather and Davis, characterized by both mutual respect and frequent clashes.

The friction intensified when Mayweather commented on the financial habits of some boxers, suggesting they were wasting their earnings rather than investing wisely. Davis perceived this as a direct jab at him and retaliated on social media, accusing Mayweather of being stranded in Dubai due to unpaid debts. Conor Benn joined the fray, publicly calling out Mayweather on social media and accusing him of being a fraud for not paying jewelry debts.

In response to Davis’s allegations, Mayweather shared a video on Instagram of Davis dancing, captioning it with a mocking remark. He also posted a video of Shakur Stevenson challenging Davis to a fight, further escalating tensions. Stevenson’s challenge emphasized that Davis should focus on actual fights rather than his beef with Mayweather.

Meanwhile, the boxing community has been buzzing with speculation about potential matchups. There were rumors about Davis possibly fighting Frank Martin in June. Earlier, Conor Benn and his promoter Eddie Hearn had eyed Davis as a high-stakes opponent, offering a lucrative deal that Davis ultimately turned down, leading to further drama when Davis publicly disclosed the details of the offer.

Amidst this turmoil, Davis threatened Mayweather on social media, suggesting he might physically confront him. The situation was further complicated by rapper 50 Cent, who frequently mocks Mayweather and used this opportunity to amplify the drama by reposting Davis’s threat.

Shakur Stevenson also weighed in, urging Davis to stop avoiding their potential fight. Stevenson’s undefeated record and WBC lightweight title make him a formidable opponent, and he emphasized that their rivalry is independent of Mayweather. Stevenson is set to defend his title soon, and he insists on a fight with Davis, adding to the pressure on Davis to respond.

In another twist, Ryan Garcia, who lost to Davis in April 2023, has expressed interest in a rematch but only under specific conditions, including a catchweight of 144 pounds. Garcia is riding high after a recent victory over Haney and seems determined to settle unfinished business with Davis.

Fans and boxing enthusiasts continue to debate hypothetical matchups, particularly a fantasy bout between Mayweather in his prime and the current version of Davis. Mayweather, known for his technical prowess and undefeated record, is contrasted with Davis’s aggressive and fan-friendly style. This debate was reignited when a fan poll speculated on how a fight between the two would play out, with many favoring Mayweather’s skill over Davis’s power.

Despite all the drama and social media battles, the boxing world eagerly awaits Davis’s next moves, whether it will be a fight against Stevenson, a rematch with Garcia, or a bout with Frank Martin. As these potential fights loom, the anticipation continues to build, ensuring that the spotlight remains firmly on Davis and his future in the ring.
