Most people can not deny the hold Gervonta Davis has over the sport. He is often referred to as the face of boxing! However, there are others, who, for many, also find themselves a place in that discussion. The CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, seems to have made his choice in this divisive argument! Something that he said revealed his choice on social media today!

The entire conversation began with a simple question from Boxing News+, who asked, “Who is boxing’s most exciting fighter?” One fan promptly answered that it was Gervonta Davis and Jaron Ennis. However, Ellerbe seemingly disagreed, as he shared his own opinion! Here’s who Floyd Mayweather’s business partner thinks is the most exciting fighter!

Disagreeing with the user, Ellerbe confidently said, “Tank Davis is the most exciting fighter in the world!!!!!” In response to this, another user chimed in with his opinion, claiming Artur Beterbiev is the most exciting fighter, with Davis being a close second. However, Ellerbe wasn’t going to have any of it, as he disagreed even with the second user. 

Ellerbe said, “That’s your opinion. I say Tank, and it ain’t close.” It’s worth mentioning that Davis hasn’t fought since his stoppage win over Ryan Garcia in April last year. Despite this year-long hiatus, Davis’ upcoming fight against Frank Martin is perhaps the most anticipated fight. Moreover, both Martin and Davis have seemingly confirmed the talks for their fight.

The potential fight between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin is rumored to be held on June 22 in Huston, Texas. Previously, the fight was being planned for June 15, but when a fan on social media highlighted that the Toyota Center in Houston, which was rumored to be the venue, was booked by Megan Thee Stallion on the same date, Davis confirmed the actual date.

Responding to the user, Davis wrote, “I let Meg do her thing… [the] week after.” On the other hand, in an interview with Fight Hub TV, Martin seemingly agreed to being in talks for the fight but claimed nothing has been made official as of yet. He added, “We’re still trying to wait on the venue and the exact date, but that’s not an official thing yet.”
