Gervonta Davis has seemingly ruled out a potential fight with Devin Haney in the future in an exchange with a fan on social media.
The Baltimore native is undefeated with a 29-0 record and 27 knockouts after defeating Ryan Garcia by KO in Las Vegas, Nevada in April. Since then, he has been weighing up his next big fight after spending 44 days in prison in 2023.
At the start of May, Davis was sentenced over his November 2020 hit-and-run car crash which injured four people. However, he accepted a plea deal and pled guilty to four traffic offences, meaning he avoided a custodial sentence. But he was sent to jail for violating the terms and has since been released.
The WBC super lightweight champion – also known as Abdul Wahid – is now plotting his next fight to take place in the UK and is not interested in Haney being his opponent.
On Sunday, Davis posted a gif image to his social media account of a man throwing a glass of wine, which appeared to be related to his NFL team, the Baltimore Ravens, who were beaten in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
One of his fans took it as an opportunity to plead to Davis to set up a mouthwatering clash with Devin Haney, who has held multiple world championship titles in different weight classes.
“GIVE US DAVIS vs HANEY U GAH DO IT FOR DA CITY CHAMP,” the user wrote on X.
But Davis issued an expletive-ridden response, writing: “B**** f*** Haney..where my crack pipe at”, suggesting he wasn’t on board with the idea despite reports of a $20 million purse.
Gervonta Davis continues trash talk with Devin Haney
Davis’ response should not come as a surprise, as the 29-year-old has engaged in several public spats with Haney on social media with no signs of it cooling down anytime soon.
A recent post on X from Davis aimed at Haney claimed imitation, sparking a swift and cutting response from the latter.
Davis threw the first punch with a tweet asserting, “All them lil n****s wanna be like me…I’m their biggest test…so they don’t want to admit but you can peep.”
This not only fuelled discussions within the boxing community but also hinted at a perceived reluctance from Haney to face Davis in the ring. And his most recent barb at his fellow boxer only confirms his stance.
