“Trying to Max Out This Run”: Days After Being Branded the “Modern-Day Mike Tyson”, Gervonta Davis Shares Inspirational Message About Staying Focused

As the boxing world stands now, there are only some who can stake the claim of being the face of the sport. Some of these are Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson, and Devin Haney. All these boxers are currently on the top of ESPN’s list of the top-four lightweights. However, even among them, one name stands out the most- Davis. ‘Tank’ proved his might against boxing sensation Ryan Garcia earlier this year as he sent the boxer tumbling down in the seventh round of the match-up.

Both Stevenson and Haney are currently receiving much scrutiny from fans. Stevenson for not focusing on building a legacy and focusing on money and Haney for his controversial victory over Vasyl Lomachenko. Moreover, Davis has even earned the acknowledgement of the former heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. Recently, ‘Tank’ came out with an inspiring message for his fans.

Gervonta Davis has managed to establish himself in the hearts of boxing fans all over the world. He has repeatedly proven himself a menacing opponent to everyone he has faced. Out of the 29 fights he has fought so far, he has won 27 via KOs. Thus, there remains no question about the might of the punches of the young boxer. Recently in an interview with Sporting Post, Jones Jr. said that Davis reminds him of Mike Tyson saying, “Tank is a modern-day Mike Tyson.” While he praised ‘The Dream’ and ‘Sugar’ Stevenson as well, for the WBC lightweight champion, he said, “Tank is the most entertaining guy because he has that Mike Tyson level of entertainment”.

The former world champion stated that Tank is unpredictable and with him, anything can happen “inside or outside the ring.” Recently, Davis was even called out by UFC champion Sean O’Malley. As the rumours of a potential bout sprung up, Davis took to Instagram to share a motivating message with his fans. He shared a picture of himself sitting on a stool in the middle of the ring. In the caption he wrote, “Sometimes staying focus will get boring… Stay locked, I’m trying to max it out this run!!”.
