Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather’s once-strong mentor-mentee relationship has hit rocky shores in recent times. Davis, under Mayweather’s guidance, maintained an impressive undefeated record of 26-0 within two years of turning professional. However, tensions began surfacing before Davis’s 2022 fight with Rolando Romero, leading to Davis’s departure from Mayweather Promotions to take control of his career.
Speculations surrounding Mayweather’s extended stay in Dubai have emerged, with Davis alleging financial woes as the cause. Davis took to social media, accusing Mayweather of being unable to leave Dubai due to unpaid debts, contrasting Mayweather’s public image with his alleged predicament.
Mayweather, meanwhile, has highlighted his discipline and mindset in interviews, underscoring his ability to maintain motivation despite immense wealth. Davis, however, responded by sharing snippets of Mayweather’s interview alongside scathing remarks about his alleged financial troubles.
The feud escalated when Mayweather retaliated on Instagram, posting an old TikTok video of Davis dancing and mocking him for his alleged financial mismanagement. Additionally, Mayweather shared a video of Shakur Stevenson calling out Davis, suggesting Davis’s reluctance to engage in significant fights.
Despite the social media back-and-forth, Mayweather has remained silent on the allegations regarding his stay in Dubai. As fans await clarification, the feud between Davis and Mayweather continues to captivate the boxing world, raising questions about their once-solid bond and the underlying tensions driving their public spat.
