The world of boxing is currently preparing to witness one of the most anticipated fights in the lightweight division. The former WBC interim lightweight, Ryan Garcia, will face his longtime nemesis, three-division world champion, Gervonta Davis, on April 15, 2023. Moreover, fans are at the edge of their seats in anticipation of this sensational showdown. Meanwhile, there was news that Davis once knocked out a known heavyweight during a sparring session. However, in a recent interview, heavyweight superstar, Mike Tyson, shared his doubts about the same.

During a 2020 interview with ESNEWS, Davis’ sparring partner gave details about him knocking out a heavyweight. Reminiscing the day, he said, “Before I was about to spar Tank, he was sparring this big bull, a heavyweight bull. And Tank hit that ni**a . He hit him so hard that he was on the top of the rope just like this. I thought he died. I ain’t gonna lie, I thought he really died.”

‘Tank’ on the other hand, nodded in agreement.

The same interviewer recently met Tyson. And, in conversation, told ‘The Baddest Man on The Planet’ about the knockout. The champ responded by saying, “Stop. Stop Tank. You didn’t knock a heavyweight out. You got him on crack. And you took the dive. Come on man.”

Tyson was further reminded that it took place in Baltimore. Hearing this he hilariously added, “Man, you know how many crackheads are there in Baltimore, man.”

It sure looks like the heavyweight demigod himself is very doubtful of Davis knocking out a heavyweight.

Gervonta Davis and his wheelchair woes

Tyson’s statement came at a time when Davis was seen in a wheelchair. Davis was recently in attendance at the Super Bowl LVII at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

This was when he was seen using a wheelchair to get around the venue. It was reported that he had suffered an ankle injury. However, he mentioned that he will make a full recovery before the Garcia fight.
