In the world of boxing, blows are exchanged in the ring. But what about fashion jabs outside it? Imagine two renowned fighters, Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney, embroiled in a feud. This has already been the case with them for weeks, but this time, it’s not about contracts or fights.
It’s about tank tops and necklaces. Sounds odd, right? A recent Twitter post showcased both boxers in strikingly similar attire. The observation was amusing, but Davis’ response? That’s where the intrigue lies. He didn’t just jab; he swung with words. But what exactly did he say?
From gloves to garments: Gervonta Davis and Haney’s face-off
Davis, known for his straightforwardness, didn’t hold back. He responded with a blunt comment, “He been doing this for years..he’s a d**k eater.” This retort, bold and unfiltered, was soon deleted. Yet it resonated with the intensity of their ongoing rivalry. It’s more than just boxing; it’s about asserting dominance in every aspect.
Davis isn’t new to deleting some of his comments on other tweets. Not so long ago, he made some remarks on a fan’s niece.
Davis’ heated response to fan’s provocative comment
Davis finds himself in a heated social media exchange more often than most other boxers. It all started when a fan dismissively labeled him an “email champion,” referencing a remark by boxing reporter Michael Benson about Davis being the WBA champion.
The comment struck a nerve. Davis’ reaction was swift and fierce. He retaliated by mentioning the fan’s niece, coupling it with a distasteful remark. This outburst sparked immediate backlash. Fans and followers, unaccustomed to such aggressive conduct from the champion, flooded the comments, calling him out for the inappropriate and alarming response. Davis’s tweet, a volatile mix of personal and professional elements, added a controversial chapter to his public persona.
Where should the line be drawn between an athlete’s professional prowess and their expressions, especially in the era of social media scrutiny? How do these outbursts affect the perception of an athlete in the public eye?
