Gervonta Davis was initially signed to The Mayweather Promotions during his early days. Floyd and Tank seemed to be friendly, sharing a cordial relationship. However, this is not always accurate as both fighters have faced turmoil in their dynamic.

Tank’s remarks regarding Floyd Mayweather did not stop there. In a recent interview, Davis compared himself to the veteran. The fighter said that Money’s career at twenty-nine years of age was inferior to his own.
