BREAKING: Gervonta Tank Davis Says He Won't Fight Naoya Inoue — "Let Him Be Great"
Gervonta "Tank" Davis was asked if he would fight Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue — and his answer is now going viral.
Davis said he would share a card with Inoue, but he will not fight him inside the ring because of their weight difference.
"I’ll fight on a card with him, but not him. It’s weight classes for a reason. Let him be great."[against]
Davis posted the response on his MoneyTwofly account on September 27, before later deleting it.
Tank Davis currently fights at lightweight — 135 pounds — while Naoya Inoue is the undisputed super bantamweight king at 122 pounds — a huge gap of 13 pounds — which is why Davis says weight classes exist for a reason.
Fans have long dreamed of a Tank Davis vs Naoya Inoue superfight — two of the biggest punchers in boxing today — but with this statement — Davis made it clear — he respects Inoue — and wants him to be great in his own division.
Gervonta Davis — who holds a record of 30 wins — 0 losses — 28 knockouts — is known for his power — while Naoya Inoue — 30-0 — 27 KOs — is called "Monster" for his dominance from 108 to 122 pounds.
Do you agree with Tank Davis — should he and Inoue stay in their own weight classes — or do you still want to see Tank vs Inoue?
