The two-division boxing world champion Gervonta Davis recently discussed his interest in professional wrestling. Regarding the possibility of a boxing-wrestling fusion and the implications for combat sports in general, Davis’ remarks raise some intriguing questions. Could more boxers enter the wrestling arena in the near future?
When asked if he was a fan of wrestling, Davis replied, “Yeah for sure”, and he talked about a moment where Floyd Mayweather punched the Big Show and said, “he really hit big show, that’s crazy.”
Undoubtedly, the possibility of more crossover events between the two sports exists, and Gervonta Davis’s inclination toward wrestling might lead to some exhilarating opportunities in the future.
However, it’s still uncertain whether Davis will pursue his interest in wrestling or not, but his enthusiasts will surely be watching his next steps with bated breath.
One of the most prominent examples of boxers crossing over to the world of professional wrestling is Floyd Mayweather, who has appeared multiple times on WWE shows, notably his notorious punch to the Big Show during WrestleMania 24.
