The sturdy young gun, Gervonta Davis is all set to take on Mario Barrios on Saturday night for the WBA super-lightweight championship. This will be Davis’ first fight at the 140-pound weight class and over the past few months, he’s put in a cosmic amount of hard work for the same.

Many boxing pundits and bigwigs have wished Davis good luck for his fight. ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ Mike Tyson, too, added himself on that list recently. Taking it to his official Instagram handle, Tyson shared some words of wisdom for ‘Tank’.

He said, “I think Gervonta Davis is probably the greatest fighter around now. But he got a tough fight coming up. He’s at the top, no doubt about it. He showed that, but Barrios is a pretty good fighter.”

Tyson and Davis share a great bond with each other. The Maryland native idolizes ‘Iron’ Mike and wishes to be like him someday. That said, as he has progressed, Davis has challenged himself to uncover his best version inside the squared circle.

And in his 12-round war against Barrios, ‘Tank’ will only look to employ his A-game.
