Gervonta Davis, now Abdul Wahid having converted to Islam, has resumed his training. Although boxing fans do not know who he is fighting next, the WBA Lightweight champion of the world is busy grinding in the gym. On that note, Wahid was recently found working on his footwork. Honestly speaking, he was light, spontaneous, and effective.
Likewise, out of appreciation and curiosity, a boxing reporter took to social media and posted Wahid’s training video. However, after a fan intervened, Abdul offered a word of caution over his latest name. Here is what happened.
Gervonta Davis, now Abdul Wahid, dazzles with his impressive footwork
Taking to X, boxing reporter Danny shared a brief clip of Gervonta Davis working on his footwork. In the clip, taking a step back, he suddenly shifts from southpaw to orthodox with a shuffle. Then, ‘Tank’ throws combinations in the air on his backfoot, staying outside the pocket. Soon, the WBA Lightweight champion is found mixing his head movement with body shots. Finally, the 29-year-old pivots to his right after throwing a jab, a cross, and a right hook. At this impressed by Davis’ workout, a curious Danny wrote, “Tank working on his footwork…I wonder who he’s fighting next“.
However, a fan by the name of Damian objected to Danny’s caption and said, “Tank? Ain’t his name Abdul now [?]” At this, as the fan’s tweet came to Gervonta Davis, now Abdul Wahid’s notice, the champion said, “Abdul will smack the s**t outta you. Keep it up…Damian“. Anyway, now that ‘Tank’ is training, we cannot help but wonder who he will face next.
Who is Abdul Wahid’s next potential fight?
Last year, Sean ‘Viva’ Gibbons, head of Manny Pacquiao’s MP Promotions, told the media that they wanted to stage a rematch between Gervonta Davis and Isaac Cruz. Likewise, he had even claimed that PBC would bring the fans ‘Tank’ vs. ‘Pitbull’ II in the form of a post-Christmas gift. On that note, considering Gibbons’ statements, boxing fans can expect Davis vs. Cruz II. Meanwhile, ‘Tank’ and Devin Haney have been exchanging words on the internet.
Recently, Turki Alalshikh announced that he would like to stage Davis vs. Haney in Saudi Arabia this year. So, Davis vs. Haney is another option. With that said, who do you think Abdul Wahid is preparing his footwork for? And what do you have to say about his footwork? Let us know in the comments below.
