Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis just turned down a jaw-dropping $25 million to fight Conor Benn. Yes, you read that right—$25 million left untouched. It’s a sum that could make anyone do a double take, yet Davis walked away. This decision has ignited a firestorm, especially from Benn. The British boxer didn’t hold back, dishing out a cryptic, taunting message aimed squarely at Davis.

Their potential clash had everything: drama, skill, and now, a refusal. Davis’s silence speaks volumes, leaving us questioning. What’s behind his decision?

Benn calls out Davis’s bluff

Eddie Hearn, the driving force behind Matchroom Boxing, dropped a bombshell that has reverberated through the boxing community. He revealed that Gervonta Davis, a name synonymous with boxing excellence, declined a lucrative $25 million offer to fight Conor Benn. This startling decision left many questioning Davis’ motives and strategy.

In the wake of Hearn’s announcement, Conor Benn wasted no time expressing his disdain. Taking to social media, Benn’s frustration boiled over into a pointed tweet: “When It came down to it you’re just all talk no smoke aren’t you gervumpalumpa @Gervontaa🐱”. This direct call-out not only highlighted Benn’s readiness to escalate their rivalry but also underscored the tension simmering between the two fighters. And Benn made his feelings clear towards Davis by using the cat emoji, which he previously did too.
