With a January bout coming up and a big fight with Ryan Garcia coming up, Gervonta Davis has made it clear that he’s no longer in the Mayweather promotion. “Loved Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, Floyd Mayweather, all of them,” Davis said at a press conference Monday to promote his fight with Hector Garcia next month. “I definitely appreciate them. Now I’m just doing my own thing.” The farewell of the legendary Mayweather and the dainty Davis does not come as much of a surprise to those who follow the martial arts village. Indeed, Davis seemed unhappy with his ad shop for a while.
“Floyd didn’t do anything to him,” Davis said, hinting that Mayweather was more interested in Mayweather than in the career of his protégé. “He was always like that. Do you know what I mean?” However, Davis also made it clear that he doesn’t blame his former mentor for focusing on things other than his career. can focus on,” said the 27-0 boxer. I don’t blame him for being alone.
Interestingly, Davis says that people often overemphasize his tweets, basically it’s just a way for him to release some of the internal steam that has built up in a boxer’s life. “A lot of people think that when I tweet, I go crazy,” he said, “but I was just babbling. I’m tweeting because I’m in camp. I’m angry. If I wasn’t in the camp, I wouldn’t have tweeted.” Sure, Davis’ tweets attracted a lot of attention as well as a lot of speculation. On Monday, however, Davis appeared eager to clear things up.
“I’m not saying in the future we can’t work together or anything like that,” he said of the Mayweather promotion, “but I’m just trying to put my pants on myself.” At this point, it seems clear that the now 28-year-old Davis wants to be seen as more than simply a Mayweather patron. After all, this man has stopped all but two of his opponents at a distance, has held world championships in various weight classes and has not lost a single match. With a legal superfight with Ryan Garcia said to be ready, the so-called “Tank” boxer clearly feels he’s in a good enough position to rush into the fight without the Mayweather team. behind.
