Gervonta “Tank” Davis confronted fans angrily at a press conference about his November 14 exhibition fight with Jake Paul.
Davis admitted he “doesn’t care” what fans think about the Paul fight or his cancelled rematch with Lamont Roach, Jr.
He claimed fans want to see him fail and even discuss his personal life, which he dismissed.
“Sit Back and Be Fans,” Tank Urges
Davis told paying fans to accept the fight and enjoy the sport, criticizing those who switch allegiances.
He argued that fans unfairly judge fighters for their personal lives or unpopular career choices.
Tank stressed that spectators should appreciate boxing as entertainment rather than criticize fighters’ decisions.
Comparing Himself to Mayweather
Davis compared fan reactions to his own with the scrutiny Floyd Mayweather faced, calling it inevitable.
He acknowledged Mayweather earned respect through career-defining bouts before taking cash-grab exhibitions, a path Tank has not yet completed.
Critics say Tank still has unfinished business with meaningful fights, which fuels debate over his Paul bout.
