American boxing sensation Gervonta Davis recently made headlines as he was arrested due to a domestic violence allegation. A lot of sporting entities and the general public voiced their opinions on Davis’ arrest. Amidst this, Conor Benn, a British boxer, lashed out at Davis with a barrage of Tweets. Even Davis reacted to Benn’s comments, and the two have been engaged in a Twitter battle since then.

The Twitter battle between Davis and Benn started after Davis’ arrest. As the news broke out, Benn Tweeted, “@Gervontaa don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house little man.”

Following that, Tank Davis quickly retaliated by saying, “Get off them drugs and come holla at me..I’ll show a glass house and a glass jaw you fu*k bum! Cold bum at that!” 

A recent Tweet made by Benn read, “@Gervontaa them threats don’t work here. Focus on staying out of prison..” 

This feud did not begin at this point, though. It references back to the time when Benn’s bout was called off because he tested positive for drug use.
