The ongoing feud between Gervonta Davis and his former mentor, Floyd Mayweather, has taken a new turn. Leading up to Davis’ fight against Frank Martin, tensions escalated as Mayweather encouraged his fans to watch UFC instead of supporting Davis, following a series of heated exchanges on social media between the two.

Despite the distractions, Davis showcased his prowess by knocking out Frank Martin in a brutal display on Saturday. After the fight, Davis revealed that Mayweather had attempted to provide Martin with tips on how to defeat him. “He was giving Frank tips and stuff like that, but I knew for sure that wasn’t going to be enough to beat me,” Davis stated confidently. “It’s cool, it’s alright, I don’t really think too much of it…he’s not going to hurt me, you know what I mean? It’s better to beef with him than to be cool with him.”

Mayweather, seemingly unperturbed by Davis’ victory, responded by leaking unreleased sparring footage between a young Devin Haney and Davis. This move was interpreted by many as an attempt to undermine Davis by showcasing moments of vulnerability from his past training sessions.

The public rift between Davis and Mayweather has captivated the boxing world, with fans and analysts weighing in on the implications of their strained relationship. Davis, once seen as Mayweather’s protégé, has now firmly established himself as a formidable force in the boxing ring, independent of his former mentor’s shadow.

 

As the feud continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how it will impact both fighters’ careers. For now, Gervonta Davis appears unfazed by the drama, focused on his path to further dominance in the sport. Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather’s actions suggest that the tension between them is far from resolved, adding another layer of intrigue to the already storied world of boxing.
