Two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter has responded to Gervonta Davis’ claims of ‘getting his a** kicked’ during a sparring session before a world title challenge against Terence Crawford.
Porter retired from the sport following defeat to Crawford in 2021 and since then he has found himself flourishing in the world of boxing media with his own podcast ‘The Porter Way’.
However, in one of the latest episodes of the show, Porter sat down with Bill Haney, father and trainer of Davis’ rival Devin Haney, and Porter shared his belief that ‘Tank’ Davis doesn’t want to fight his fellow unbeaten American.
On social media, Davis responded to Porter’s statement, questioning why he would be afraid of a super-lightweight when he ‘beat Porter’s a** in sparring’ whilst he was a welterweight.
Porter was quick to reply to ‘Tank’, defending his comments and doubling down on the fact that the fight will not happen anytime soon.
For now it seems that Haney’s next opponent will be WBC mandatory challenger Sandor Martin, after talks of a fight between Haney and Ryan Garcia collapsed.
