In 2015, Floyd Mayweather met Gervonta Davis in one of Adrien Broner’s training camps. With his vigor, dedication, and skills, Davis impressed ‘TBE’. Likewise, in 2016 ‘Tank’ signed with Mayweather Promotions and soon defeated Jose Pedraza to win the IBF Super Featherweight title next year. Following the victory against Pedraza, Davis took the boxing world by storm as he demolished one fighter after another to unify the WBA titles before the end of 2020.

As of now, ‘Tank’ Davis is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. And undoubtedly, Mayweather’s contribution to his success is priceless. After Davis, Mayweather is now trying to establish Curmel Moton who just debuted on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo. Following a TKO victory over his first pro opponent Ezequiel Flores, Moton is now eyeing a title bout with Leigh Wood, WBA Featherweight champion, in his second professional fight. While there is discernible hype about Moton, Mayweather promised to stand by Davis.
