Gervonta Davis always makes headlines when he has a microphone in his hand, and this time was no exception. The boxer was a guest on ‘A Safe Place Podcast’, where he talked about everything and, as usual, Gervonta did not hold back and had no filter in giving his opinions
His use of social media, especially X, is somewhat controversial as he even messes with the haters who attack him on Elon Musk’s social network. He is quite a character, but in the ring he is one of the best in the world, that cannot be debated
Is he going to retire from boxing?
The famous rapper Lil Yachty was very blunt in questioning Gervonta about whether his upcoming fight with Lamont Roach would be the last of his career.
The boxer left a response that reassured those familiar with the sport:
“I have more plans. Definitely some more heads on the wall,” Gervonta commented
Without a doubt, this will give his fans peace of mind, as he always threatens with the idea of hanging up his gloves and not returning.
‘Tank is sorry’
Gervonta Davis did not hide that he is very happy with his career, but he has a thorn in his side, because he wanted that fight no matter what.
“In the back of my mind. I was like, ‘Damn, he was a fighter that I was supposed to fight. Or I was asked to fight,'” said Gervonta.
Who is he talking about? ‘Tank’ refers to Vasyl Lomachenko. Last year they were very close to closing negotiations for that fight, but everything went downhill once the Ukrainian decided to pause his career
However, Davis does not endorse those who criticized Lomachenko for not accepting the proposal and is very sure that it is not about ‘fear‘:
“I felt like he didn’t like people saying he was scared or something like that. I thought I don’t think that’s the case,” the Baltimore boxer said
In this case, ‘Tank’ is on the Ukrainian’s side in thinking more about his family: “Now he’s older and has kids. Now it’s more about the kids. I feel like, you know, all that energy. I mean, we still want to make money, but now 80% is about the kids,” he said
On the other hand, a retirement for Loma would be very close according to his ideas, he placed December 2024 as his date to stop being a professional boxer, for now he still does not speak out and only leaves intrigue to the world of boxing.
