Gervonta posted the video on his Instagram stories
The boxer Gervonta Davis has not had an official fight for months, in his last fight he defeated Ryan Garcia in April. Davis delivered a good blow to the liver of ‘KingRy’ that left him with a knee on the canvas without being able to get up.
Davis, the rising star in the boxing world, has been attracting the attention of his rivals who are eager to challenge him.
Gervonta posted a video on his Instagram stories where the boxer is seen performing sparring with good rhythm and intensity while giving some screams of strength. A few seconds later he knocks out his opponent.
A few months ago Gervonta was asked who could beat him, if opponents like Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson , Davis confidently stated, “The only person who could beat me is Gervonta Davis. Those others can’t touch me at all.”
Ryan Garcia is looking for a rematch, arguing that when they faced each other, he was not at his best. In an interview with Fight Hub TV, ‘KingRy’ said he is better than Gervonta and will do whatever it takes to get a rematch.
In September, Gervonta said he would not fight for the remainder of 2023 and would concentrate on personal matters.
It should be recalled that the boxer is involved in a legal matter related to a hit-and-run incident that occurred in May 2021. And although he was not initially expected to serve time in prison, he ended up spending most of his 90-day sentence in jail.
On the eve of Ryan Garcia’s triumphant return to the boxing ring, Gervonta Davis injected an air of mystery into the atmosphere with a cryptic Instagram post.
Garcia, who secured a knockout victory over Oscar Duarte in the eighth round, marked his comeback after a setback against Tank in April. Despite facing challenges during the bout, the 25-year-old American emerged victorious with a decisive knockout.
Gervonta Davis destroying a much bigger sparring partner that called him out
As the fight unfolded, Davis, Garcia’s former adversary, took to social media, sharing two pictures accompanied by captions that were derogatory towards Garcia.
What did Gervonta Davis post?
The initial image showcased Davis’ Ferrari, while the subsequent one depicted Garcia wincing in agony from the body shot that led to his defeat in April. The caption drew from the lyrics of British rapper Dave’s verse in Trojan Horse.
“Antisocial, I’m a loner… let’s not talk bout makin a Mil, this year I average 100 ms in a month… had a vision of running it up, and it’s working well like rum in a punch,” Davis posted.
The post left fans perplexed, prompting questions about its meaning. One fan expressed confusion.
“What does that even mean?” were the words of one fan.
“I don’t understand that type of talk,” another stated.
Various theories circulated about the post’s significance, but the prevailing belief was that Davis intended to troll Garcia. Fans reacted with a mix of amusement and disapproval.
“You’re cold for the second pic during the man’s fight,” joked one fan.
Another labeled Davis as a troll, while a third speculated that the second picture held a personal significance. Amidst the diverse interpretations, a consensus emerged that Davis, in his own unique way, aimed to emphasize the victory with the inclusion of the second picture.
Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated boxing champion, has become synonymous with a lifestyle that exudes luxury. From his flashy car collection to his extravagant mansions, Mayweather’s wealth is on full display. One of the most notable aspects of Mayweather’s lavish lifestyle is his penchant for high-end cars. His garage boasts an impressive collection of luxury vehicles, including rare and custom-made cars that showcase his extravagant taste. However, recently the boxing legend showed off something else. He took to Instagram to show off his version of the ‘man cave’ to the world.
In the video, the boxing legend showed off the impressive place. In the caption, he wrote, “It’s one thing to have a “Man Cave” but it’s another to have a King Cave! Step into my domain where the Jumbotrons flashing movies & sports, the indoor pool stays heated all winter long. Not to mention the competition is heavy in the arcade from air hockey, to basketball to foosball or just some old school mrs Pac-Man. Of course a King Cave isn’t complete without a wine cellar, filled with @lebonargent and an open bar serving nothing but the finest @goodmoneywhiskey.” However, it appears that the fans were not really impressed by his ‘King Cave’.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s King Cave fails to impress his fans
The glimpse into Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s so-called “King Cave” has sparked a wave of reactions among fans, and they’re not holding back. One fan humorously pointed out, “Man, that’s not no ‘Man-cave.’ That’s a 3-bedroom house. My garage is a Man cave, 840 square feet.” It seems Mayweather’s opulent space may have surpassed the typical concept of a man cave.
Others chimed in with comparisons, noting, “I’ve seen even better setups in smaller houses. You got mad bread, champ; use your imagination. It looks like an old folks’ Chinese restaurant in there.” The critique suggested that despite Mayweather’s wealth, fans expected a more creatively curated space.
The commentary extended to Mayweather’s fashion choices, with one fan questioning, “What’s the story with that stupid-looking hat always on his head?” This comment is in line with the recent incident where Mayweather found himself targeted by a lot of fans for his dressing sense.
Moreover, in a light-hearted jab, a fan humorously remarked, “Floyd, this is not even a man cave; this is a house atp, you’re too rich, my guy.” However, one fan came in support of the boxing legend. The fan stated, “TBE aint nobody doin it like that.”
Overall fans were left largely unimpressed with Mayweather’s recent post. What do you think about his ‘King Cave’? Do you think it looks good or do you agree with the fans? Do share your thoughts in the comments below.
Claressa Shields has achieved greatness inside the ring with her impressive performance. Meanwhile, her friendly and positive attitude has helped her win the hearts of countless people outside the ring. As curiosity among fans grew about her personal life, a recent update from Claressa satiated their curiosity. The update came via a video on X (former Twitter), shining a light onto Claressa’s taste for art.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist is at the top of the food chain in women’s boxing. Her superiority in the sport is evident through the number of titles she holds under her belt. How many? Numerous! She is the world champion in three different weight divisions, which is the reason behind her whopping $5 million net worth. Despite her massive net worth, a tiny gesture made Claressa happier than ever.
Two new paintings for the one and only Claressa Shields
In the video, Claressa announces she received two paintings and had the privilege to choose what gets painted. As she finished unwrapping the packaging, she said with excitement, “It’s so freakin cute.” Once the paintings were completely out of the box, she displayed the paintings for the followers to get a good look at. While doing so, the boxer could not hide her happiness and asked, “How beautiful is that?”
With glee smeared all over her face, she dove into the various intricate details in the painting. She especially appreciated the painting with her title belts. She even compared the belts in the painting with the real ones by saying, “Oh my god, look at all the belts. The real belts and the other belts. So nice.”
As for the other painting, she liked how real the hair looked in the other one. She said, “Is this real hair? Looks like it is, but it’s not. Man, wow!”
Claressa’s fight purses that made her a millionaire
Claressa has made the headlines for several prominent fights in her ongoing career. And given her 14-0 record, it’s clear she won all of them, taking home a substantial amount from each. What’s more, some of her most notable bouts were against Christina Hammer, Savannah Marshall, and Ema Kozin. One thing that all of these fighters have in common is the fact that they were undefeated before meeting Claressa. But which fight made her the most money?
According to a report from Sports Manor, the undisputed queen made the most money from two fights in her professional career. First, in the February 2022 fight against Ema Kozin, taking home $1 million. Second, in the October 2022 bout against Savannah Marshall, she collected another $1 million. Besides these two, she made $300,000 from her fight against Ivana Habazin.
Taking a break from intense fights, this new update from Claressa’s life introduces a new layer to her multifaceted personality. It helps her express a different aspect of her life away from the ring, helping her fans connect with her even more. Although, we want to hear from you. Did you like the paintings?
Ryan Garcia (23-1) makes his return to the ring on Saturday night, a little under eight months after losing for the first time at the hands of Gervonta “Tank” Davis. He will face Oscar Duarte (26-1-1), a lesser known Mexican boxer who possesses solid power.
19 of Garcia’s 23 victories have ended via stoppage, while Duarte has finished 21 of his 26 wins by knockout. There could be plenty of fireworks on display.
The fight will be held at the Toyota Center in Houston, with the event broadcast slated to begin at 8:00pm ET / 5:00pm PT. It will be shown live on DAZN as part of the company’s subscription service. It won’t be pay-per-view.

Ryan Garcia Net Worth
Garcia won’t be making close to the same money as his fight against Tank Davis, but he will continue to build on what has already been a very financially successful career.

Ryan Garcia jabs at De La Hoya and Hopkins before fight
The press conference for this fight was certainly interesting, as Garcia took the opportunity to take some shots at Golden Boy promoters Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins. It’s clear the partnership won’t last too much longer.
Ryan Garcia is making his first appearance since falling to Gervonta Davis and suffering his first-ever loss.
Bounce back needed for Ryan Garcia
Ryan Garcia is currently in the process of building back up to a big fight. The rising star got his wish when Gervonta “Tank” Davis agreed to a bout in April, but Garcia was defeated by a 7th round body shot. It was the first loss of Garcia’s career.
This will be Garcia’s first fight since the loss, so eyes will be on how he bounces back and if he does so convincingly. He’s the clear favorite with -450 odds, while Oscar Duarte is a +325 underdog.
Ryan Garcia vs Oscar Duarte Fight Card
Garcia will steal the headlines, but there will be plenty of additional talent on display. Five fights will feature on the main card. Three other fights will be held as prelims, although they won’t be shown on the broadcast.
Ryan Garcia vs. Oscar Duarte
Floyd Schofield vs. Ricardo Lopez
Shane Mosley Jr. vs. Joshua Conley
Darius Fulghum vs. Pachino Hill
Asa Stevens vs. Dominique Griffin
Mosley Jr.’s last fight was an emphatic knockout victory over D’Mitrius Ballard in which he captured the vacant WBO NABO middleweight title. Schofield has started his career 15-0 and is one of the hottest prospects in the lightweight division.
Once Terence Crawford took out Errol Spence Jr., the obvious suspects emerged as his possible next opponent.
Jaron Ennis was recently elevated from interim champ to full titlist, making him a viable option. Tim Tszyu was another fighter whose name held weight. Even Jermell Charlo and Gervonta Davis were thrown around as likely options.
Each man brought something intriguing to the table. In the case of Ennis, Crawford could knock off an immensely talented young fighter whose perpetual trash talk and skills have gained him a ton of buzz. Tim Tszyu continues to run over the junior middleweight competition and has a 154-pound title to bring to the table. Charlo’s three junior middleweight titles have caught Crawford’s attention, despite being thoroughly outworked in his last outing. Davis doesn’t have the size of those who were previously named but carries enough clout and popularity to lure Crawford into the ring.
Although they were all deemed worthy, Crawford’s preferred choice is Canelo Alvarez, the super middleweight kingpin.
At one point, even Crawford admitted that he never dreamed of facing someone that much more naturally bigger than he is. With that said, the pound-for-pound star warmed up to the idea.
From the outside looking in, Crawford’s all-time great status won’t help him against someone three weight classes above him. Everyone on team Crawford, including Bomac, however, doesn’t view Alvarez as some perfect fighter unable to be touched.
To a large extent, Bomac has watched Alvarez from the shadows. He saw the Mexican star come up short against Floyd Mayweather several years ago. He saw him pick up a draw against Gennadiy Golovkin. He saw him lose a decision against Dmitry Bivol. He also sat back and witnessed him achieve a Hall of Fame level career.
With all the intel he’s gathered over the years, Bomac is confident that Crawford can capitalize on his mistakes.
“He’ll beat him,” Bomac told Sean Zittel of FightHype.com. “He got holes in his game.”
Floyd Mayweather’s new protégé Curmel Moton won his second professional fight in slightly strange circumstances on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The 17-year-old is highly rated as one of the USA’s best young talents and showed this when he won his first fight back in September.
Moton’s second pro fight was not shown live on TV
However, both of his first and second pro contests have taken place place as walkout bouts.
Moton’s first win was part of the Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo card, but happened after the main event.
And his second victory again came after David Benavidez’s stoppage win over Demetrius Andrade on Saturday night.
The reason for this is likely that the organisers had no space to fit it on the main broadcast.

Therefore, fans had to watch on social media as Mayweather Promotions streamed the fight on Instagram live, but it was not shown on TV so many missed it.
They did not miss too much action though, as it was all over inside round one.
Moton came out fast and floored his opponent Hunter Turbyfill in the early stages.
The journeyman made it back to his feet, but was soon down again from a body shot and this time the fight was waved off by the referee.
Mayweather is hopeful Moton can follow in his footsteps
Moton was declared the victor by first-round knockout.
He will likely return to the ring soon as he continues to build experience in his boxing journey.
Weeks after the IBF stripped Terence Crawford of their belt subsequently reducing ‘Bud’ to a Unified Welterweight champion, the 36-year-old is taking a break from the sport to celebrate Thanksgiving with his beloved family. Although Crawford was initially upset that the IBF assigned him a mandatory title defense at a time he had to honor the rematch with Errol Spence Jr., ‘Bud’ is finally moving on by spending quality time with his adorable family members who’ve been with him through thick and thin.
Of course, ‘Bud’ needs to be in his element before the rematch with Spence Jr. And what better way to find his peace and joy than a memorable Thanksgiving? On that note, Crawford took to Instagram and showed his fans how he celebrated the holiday with the most precious ones of his life.
The simplicity of Terence Crawford touches fans’ hearts
Terence Crawford is no ordinary champion in the sport. He is the first male boxer to become Undisputed in two separate divisions. In addition, in his last match against Errol Spence Jr., ‘Bud’ earned a guaranteed figure of $25 from the fight. Yet, you would be surprised to know the manner in which the pugilist from Nebraska celebrated Thanksgiving. Despite his financial success in the sport, Crawford paid zero heed to luxury by opting for simplicity.
As a result, a fan said, “Bro is so humble. So much respect to you homie!”
Similarly, one added, “It’s crazy how ‘Bud’ got all this money and [yet] looks like a regular person, amazing.”
On the other hand, one wrote, “Legend in the ring and even more legendary by being the daddy his children deserve.”
Meanwhile, one joked by writing: “Bro got so many kids, Terence stays busy.”
Finally, one declared, “This guy carried himself like a true champion.”
In this context, it is also worth mentioning that besides the family photos, Crawford teased his fans with a “fire” turkey.
Crawford cooks a delicious turkey for his fam
In addition to the photos he uploaded, Crawford took to one of his Instagram stories to disclose the turkey he cooked and munched on. Apart from that, he informed the fans that it tasted delicious. “I ain’t gon’ lie to ya’ll, but this turkey was fire. I don’t even eat turkey like that,” Crawford said. Frankly speaking, it was quite hilarious to see him eat and argue that he cooked the best turkey.
Mike Tyson has made a new prediction for the upcoming Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk fight but has caveated it with the warning that he ‘could be wrong.’
After many months of speculation, a firm date was finally announced for the first undisputed heavyweight match-up in 24 years. Fury and Usyk will come to blows on February 17 when the WBC, WBC, IBF and WBO belts, plus the lineal title, will all be on the line.
The fight was originally planned for December 23 but in light of Fury’s battle with MMA fighter turned boxing novice Francis Ngannou – who enlisted ‘Iron’ Mike to help him train and has since been ranked by the WBC – it was pushed back to give him time to recover.
As such the excitement is already building for when the two best in the division come together. The fight presents Ukrainian southpaw Usyk with a chance to become undisputed in a second division following his achieving that feat down a cruiserweight, a similar achievement to one made by Evander Holyfield.
Speaking to FightHub TV, Tyson was asked who he thought would come out on top – and is picking ‘The Gypsy King’.
“I’m gunna look forward to that fight. I’m going with Tyson Fury, I think he’s going to overpower him, catch up with him and overpower him, that’s what I think but I could be wrong.”
Tyson, who was used to being the smaller man throughout his heavyweight career, was asked about the impact of facing shorter opponents.
“Little guys are difficult to fight ’cause they’re harder to hit ’cause they’re smaller. He runs a lot, he moves a lot, Tyson’s probably gunna have a few rounds to get used to his moments but it’s gunna be difficult, he’s very small, very fast.”
Whatever happens, the boxing world doesn’t have long to wait to find out.
The first time Claressa Shields and Maricela Cornejo went head-to-head, they co-starred in a YouTube video.
When it hit the internet in 2019, Shields was already a two-time Olympic gold medalist with several professional titles, including the undisputed middleweight championship. Cornejo was a seven-year veteran, but still building an online brand that encompassed boxing, fashion, fitness and self-help.
Claressa Shields, the undisputed middleweight champion, is one of boxing’s most dominant competitors of any gender.
Their conversation, which appeared on Cornejo’s YouTube channel, touched on boxing, of course, but also on the two women’s shared histories as survivors of childhood sexual assault. The interview showcased both women as vulnerable, tender, supportive and sisterly; professional colleagues with the makings of close friends.
On Saturday in Detroit, Shields and Cornejo will meet as opponents, with Shields’s undisputed middleweight title at stake. The pairing highlights the close-knit world of elite women’s boxing, where bitter rivalries abound, but where boxers can be each other’s friends, fans, training partners and adversaries, often in fairly quick succession.
“If anybody wants to get in the ring and fight for my belts, I’m going to put all that friendship to the side,” said Shields, who is 13-0 with two knockouts. “This is prizefighting. It’s not friend fighting.”
The Shields-Cornejo title fight, which will headline a card at Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit, is the highest-profile women’s bout of early 2023, and a follow-up to the blockbuster events that vaulted women’s boxing into the spotlight last year.
Last April, a lightweight title bout between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano sold out Madison Square Garden. Taylor won a decision in a raucous brawl that drew 1.5 million viewers to the streaming platform DAZN, which will also show Saturday’s bout. Six months later, in October 2022, Shields defeated Savannah Marshall in a high-stakes, high-octane title bout in London. A reported two million viewers watched that fight.
Organizers of both events claim each was the richest bout in women’s boxing history, and most years either matchup would have stood alone as the single most significant women’s bout on the schedule. They featured big names, full arenas, competitive action and, not coincidentally, sustained promotion leading into fight night.
This weekend’s bout between Shields and Cornejo is different.
Cornejo, who is 16-5 with six knockouts, committed to the bout early last week, after Shields’s original opponent, Hanna Gabriels of Costa Rica, failed a doping test.
Maricela Cornejo enters Saturday’s fight against Shields with a three-bout win streak and renewed confidence in her skills and tactics.
Even with a new opponent and short marketing runway, Shields’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, views Detroit as one reason this fight could draw fans. Putting Shields, who grew up in Flint, Mich., atop a card at the new arena in Detroit also places her squarely within the city’s boxing tradition, he said.
“This is not a city where there is no boxing history. This is one of the richest boxing histories in the world,” Salita said. “The pressure that she’s under and the doors that she’s opening, every fight is a super fight for her.”
Sugar Ray Robinson spent his childhood in Detroit, and Joe Louis made the city his home base. In March 1980, three months after Joe Louis Arena opened, Hilmer Kenty, the first world champion from the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit, defended his lightweight title there. Kronk’s most famous product, Thomas Hearns, who was nicknamed the Hitman, fought in the cofeature on the same card.
Shields, 28, enters Saturday as one of boxing’s most dominant competitors of any gender. She rarely loses rounds, and has only lost two official fights in her life. As a 17-year-old amateur she dropped a disputed decision to Marshall in the lead-up to the 2012 Olympics, and in October 2021 she lost a mixed martial arts bout to Abigail Montes in the Professional Fighters League.
But as a professional boxer, Shields has won world titles in three weight classes, and has been the undisputed champion at 154 and 160 pounds. She has defeated so many champions that she has begun seeking rematches with boxers she has outclassed.
Her 2018 bout against Gabriels ended in a lopsided decision win. Salita said that if Shields wins on Saturday she might face the winner of an upcoming bout between Marshall and Franchón Crews-Dezurn, both of whom Shields has already vanquished.

The search for a stiff challenge spans sports — Shields hopes to return to mixed martial arts later this year — and every boxing division, from 147-pound welterweight to 168-pound super middleweight.
“I watch all of them, just in case they want to make that jump,” Shields said.
Saturday’s card falls at the midpoint of a busy period for high-level pro boxing. Earlier this spring, Gervonta Davis knocked out Ryan Garcia at 136 pounds, while Devin Haney squeaked past Vasiliy Lomachenko to remain the undisputed lightweight champion.
Later this summer, Stephen Fulton of Philadelphia and Naoya Inoue of Japan will meet in a super-bantamweight title fight that excites boxing purists. And on July 29, the long-delayed meeting between the welterweight champions Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas.
For her part, Shields was set to rematch Gabriels, when the Costa Rican contender tested positive for a steroid, clostebol. Gabriels said she absorbed the substance inadvertently, claiming it was an ingredient in an ointment she rubbed on her dog to help him heal from surgery.
Either way, she was scratched, and replaced with Cornejo, who was already training for a different bout.
Cornejo, 36, recently relocated from Seattle to Las Vegas, where she works with the renowned trainer Ismael Salas. She and Shields have one common opponent, Crews-Dezurn, who has defeated Cornejo twice.
But Cornejo enters Saturday with a three-bout win streak, and, after working with Salas, renewed confidence in her skills and tactics. She maintains a healthy esteem for Shields, but remains focused on upsetting her.
“She knows I respect her, and she respects me as well,” Cornejo said. “But when we get in a fight, it’s either you or me, honey.”
