Bill Haney belittles Gervonta Davis

Recently, Gervonta Davis converted to Islam and changed his name to Abdul Wahid. Likewise, in his recent appearance on the Porter Way Podcast, Bill Haney referred to ‘Tank’ as Abdul Wahid as he belittled the boxer’s abilities. According to Bill, he initially thought Wahid could put his son Devin in a fix. However, as he witnessed Gervonta’s latest fights, he claimed he was convinced that ‘Tank’ was no longer a match for ‘The Dream’.

Initially, I would have thought the toughest task would be the former face of boxing, Abdul Wahid. Initially, I would have said that. But, the more that I watch him, the less confidence I see in the kid,” stated Bill. In his opinion, Davis is trained only to deal with Mexican boxers with questionable footwork in the ring. Likewise, he added, “The kid is built up and manufactured against slow-foot Mexican fighters. He’s never fought anyone that resembles Devin.

In this connection, Bill also referred to the Dog-House sparring match between Davis and Devin. Although Davis announced he almost knocked out Haney, the latter denied the claim. In doing so, ‘The Dream’ stated that he beat up ‘Tank’ good. Similarly, echoing his son, Bill concluded, “The last time we were in the ring together, he [Davis] got cooked.” However, it is worth mentioning that ‘Tank’ recently claimed he would make Bill Haney shed tears.
