“I Slept With His Daughter!” Gervonta Davis EXPOSES The REAL REASON Behind His Feud With Floyd Mayweather!

The boxing world was stunned late Wednesday night when Gervonta “Tank” Davis dropped a bombshell revelation that could forever alter his fractured relationship with mentor-turned-rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. In a jaw-dropping interview with *The Ring*, Davis, the WBA lightweight champion, confessed, “I slept with his daughter!”—claiming this personal betrayal is the true root of their bitter feud, which has escalated since their 2022 fallout. The explosive admission, shared on X and already amassing over 8 million views, has ignited a firestorm of reactions, leaving fans and analysts reeling as the lightweight division’s drama reaches new heights.

Davis, 30, with a 30-0-1 record (28 KOs), and Mayweather, 47, the undefeated 50-0 legend, have been at odds since Davis left Mayweather Promotions in 2022, accusing Mayweather of financial exploitation and control. Their public spats have included social media jabs, press conference clashes, and a recent backstage verbal war after signing for a June 2025 mega-fight. But Davis’ latest claim, made during a candid sit-down in Las Vegas, adds a deeply personal layer to their rivalry, shocking even seasoned boxing insiders.

“I kept it quiet for years, but that’s the real reason Floyd turned on me,” Davis told *The Ring*, his voice steady but intense. “It happened back in 2021, before we split. I was young, reckless, and it was a mistake, but Floyd found out, and he’s hated me ever since. That’s why he’s been trashing me, trying to sabotage my fights—look at the Roach draw, he’s still got it out for me.” Davis didn’t name Mayweather’s daughter but hinted it was Iyanna Mayweather, 24, Floyd’s eldest child, who has occasionally appeared at boxing events with her father.

Mayweather, reached for comment by *ESPN* early Thursday, dismissed the claim as “bulls**t” and a “desperate stunt for attention.” In a terse X post, he wrote, “Gervonta’s lying to save face. This is fake news—I don’t even respond to clowns. June’s fight will shut him up for good.” Iyanna Mayweather, however, has not publicly addressed the accusation, though sources close to her told *People* she’s “distraught” and considering legal action for defamation.

Posts on X reflect the polarized reaction, with #DavisMayweatherDrama trending globally. “This is wild—Tank sleeping with Floyd’s daughter explains everything!” tweeted @BoxingFanatic2025, while @MoneyTeam2023 countered, “Tank’s making this up to distract from his weak draw with Roach. Floyd’s untouchable.” Fans are split, with some believing Davis’ claim adds context to Mayweather’s icy demeanor, while others see it as a publicity stunt ahead of their June showdown.

The feud’s origins date to 2017, when Mayweather mentored Davis to his first world title, but tensions boiled over in 2022 when Davis accused Mayweather of taking a 50% cut of his earnings. Since then, Mayweather has called Davis “ungrateful” and “overrated,” while Davis has hinted at deeper personal issues. This revelation, if true, could explain Mayweather’s reluctance to reconcile and his recent support for Davis’ critics, like during the controversial draw with Roach on March 1, 2025.

Boxing analysts like Timothy Bradley on *SportsCenter* called the admission “a game-changer,” saying, “If this is real, it’s a bombshell that explains their hatred. But we need proof—Davis better have receipts, or Floyd will bury him in court.” Legal experts suggest Iyanna or Mayweather could sue for defamation if the claim is unproven, but Davis’ camp insists he’s prepared to provide evidence, including texts and witnesses.

As the June 14, 2025, mega-fight looms, this shocking twist has supercharged the buildup, turning “Legacy vs. Dynasty” into a personal vendetta. Davis vows to “settle this in the ring,” while Mayweather remains defiant. Posts on X continue to flood in, with #DavisMayweatherDrama reaching 10 million interactions. This scandal could redefine their legacies and the lightweight division’s future.
