Floyd Mayweather Jr. has once again made headlines by sharing a historic sparring session featuring his former protégé, Gervonta “Tank” Davis. Mayweather was instrumental in propelling Davis to stardom, promoting him extensively on Mayweather Production cards. However, their partnership turned sour, leading to Davis parting ways with Mayweather as his promoter.
Since their split, Mayweather and Davis have engaged in a public war of words. Most recently, Mayweather stirred controversy on social media by suggesting that Davis’ fight against Frank Martin was canceled. In response, Davis labeled Mayweather as bitter and criticized his business practices, cautioning others against working with him.
Following Davis’ impressive knockout win against Martin, Mayweather unveiled a sparring video from six years ago featuring Davis and Devin Haney. The footage portrays a 16-year-old Haney holding his ground against Davis, who appears unfocused and erratic in the ring. Despite initial challenges, Haney demonstrates his mettle by going toe-to-toe with Davis over six rounds, showcasing his talent as a young amateur boxer.
The release of the sparring video has reignited speculation about a potential showdown between Haney and Davis, especially in light of Haney’s recent defeat to Ryan Garcia. As Garcia’s positive drug test may result in Haney’s loss being overturned, fans are buzzing with anticipation for a face-off between Haney and Davis. The sparring footage has increased interest among fans for a future bout between these two skilled fighters.
