‘That’s a Bi*tch A*s Thing to Do’: Adrien Broner’s Warning to Floyd Mayweather About Gervonta Davis Came True in 2022
Follow Us
For the longest time, the crown prince of boxing, Floyd Mayweather, and his prodigy, Gervonta Davis, had one of the most heartwarming camaraderies in the sport. As a part of Mayweather Promotions, Davis was often considered Mayweather’s blue-eyed boy. However, over the last few months, fans and the boxing fraternity witnessed this bond gradually weakening. The same culminated in Davis leaving Mayweather Promotions in 2022. In fact, four-division world champion and Davis’ former training partner, Adrien Broner, previously knew that Davis will certainly leave Mayweather.
Broner is currently set to make a comeback after a hiatus of almost 2 years. And will be facing Ivan Redkach for a welterweight showdown. Meanwhile, he was in an Instagram Q and A with Sam Jones in 2020.

During the session, Broner gave insight into the Davis-Mayweather issue.
Adrien Broner felt that Floyd Mayweather wronged Gervonta Davis
At that time, Mayweather had begun training Devin Haney. And there were also a few videos showing Mayweather engaged in mitt sessions with Haney.
Broner, on the other hand, felt that Mayweather wronged Davis by training his rival. Talking about the issue, he did not mince words while saying, “One of the biggest names in the sport of boxing right now is Gervonta Davis. So why would you go train his rival? I don’t get that. That’s a bi*ch a*s thing to do. And if nobody feeling like that then f*ck them too. But I’m totally on Gervonta’s side. I’m siding with him.”
