Gervonta Davis, after bidding adieu to Mayweather Promotions, has taken shots at Floyd Mayweather on many occasions. His beef with the 50-0 legend runs so deep that the three-weight boxing champion removed ‘Money’ protege, Curmel Moton, from his upcoming fight card against Frank Martin. However, the protege seems to have found a spot on another card for his 4th professional bout.

Curmel Moton, born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada, had an astonishing 61 wins and 3 losses in his amateur career. And that successfully translated into his professional career as the 18-year-old is yet to taste defeat as he rides high with momentum with a 3-0 undefeated streak. Now, it seems like he’s found himself a spot in a big event after getting snubbed by Gervonta Davis.
