Leaked Footage EXPOSES Gervonta Davis: Here’s What REALLY Happened..!
The boxing world is reeling from a bombshell leaked video that has surfaced, exposing a heated altercation involving Gervonta “Tank” Davis during his controversial March 1, 2025, fight against Lamont Roach Jr. at Barclays Center. The footage, which has garnered over 10 million views on social media platforms like X under #DavisExposed, captures a tense exchange between Davis and his trainer, Calvin Ford, shedding new light on the events that transpired during the ninth round—a moment that has since become the epicenter of one of boxing’s most heated controversies. As allegations of bribery and referee bias swirl, this video has ignited a firestorm, prompting fans, fighters, and analysts to question what really happened that night.
The leaked footage, first shared by an anonymous source on YouTube, shows Davis and Ford arguing in the corner between the eighth and ninth rounds of the lightweight title bout, which ended in a majority draw (115-113, 114-114, 114-114) before being overturned by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) into a loss for Davis on March 5, stripping him of his WBA lightweight title. In the clip, Davis, visibly frustrated, can be heard shouting, “Man, I can’t see! You tryna cheat now?” in response to Ford’s suggestion, “We can fix this—pay the right guy, Tank.” The implication of bribery, aimed at influencing referee Steve Willis’ controversial non-knockdown call after Davis took a knee in the ninth round citing grease in his eyes, has sent shockwaves through the sport.
This revelation comes on the heels of Willis’ own bombshell statement to *Boxing Scene* on March 7, where he confirmed the audio’s authenticity and claimed he was offered $50,000 by someone from Davis’ camp to “look the other way” on close calls—a bribe he refused. Ford, in a subsequent interview with *FightHype* on the same day, admitted to the conversation but denied direct involvement, blaming a “third party” in their entourage while insisting Davis wanted no part in any cheating. The NYSAC, already under fire for its handling of the fight and its failure to use instant replay due to a “technical issue,” has expanded its investigation, with potential sanctions looming for Davis and Ford, including fines, suspensions, or even criminal charges if bribery is proven.
The establishment narrative—that Davis’ loss was a fair outcome based on the NYSAC’s review—crumbles under scrutiny with this footage. Critics argue the commission’s decision to uphold the ruling, announced earlier today, ignored mounting evidence of misconduct, possibly due to political pressures or a desire to avoid further embarrassment after their replay system failed. Posts found on social media reflect a growing sentiment that the sport’s integrity is at stake, with some users calling the fight “scripted” and others branding Davis a “cheater.” However, Davis’ supporters counter that the video is being taken out of context, pointing to his frustration in the footage as proof he rejected Ford’s suggestion outright.
Davis, now 30-1, has not directly addressed the leaked footage, but his history of legal troubles—including a 2020 domestic violence arrest and a 2023 hit-and-run case—casts a shadow over his defense. Roach, now 25-1-2 and the new WBA lightweight champion, reacted furiously to the NYSAC’s ruling, posting on social media, “HE IS A SUMBAG,” a typo-laden jab likely aimed at Davis or the officials. The boxing community remains divided, with fighters like Terence Crawford previously accusing Davis of cheating, while others, like Jaron Ennis, have defended him against criticism in the past.
As the NYSAC digs deeper, the leaked footage has exposed a potential underbelly of corruption in boxing, raising questions about fairness, oversight, and the lengths some may go to secure victory. Whether this marks the end of Davis’ reign or a redemption arc for Roach, the sport faces a reckoning. Stay tuned for updates on social media under #DavisExposed as this scandal unfolds!
