"He’s NO WHERE near my weight" - Gervonta Davis shuts down rumors of fighting undefeated boxer

WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis dismissed rumors of him taking on undefeated Japanese boxer, Naoya Inoue.

Naoya Inoue is the undisputed super bantamweight world champion and is unbeaten in his professional boxing career spanning 11 years and 26 bouts. Inoue is also on a finishing streak, with his last seven wins coming via T/KO.

Davis himself is undefeated in his 29 career fights and has also won 27 of them via knockout and so, a hypothetical matchup between the two has always been a talking point for fans.

'Tank,' however, addressed one such post on Instagram and denied reports of a possible fight between the two.

Davis stated that the weight disparity was too significant, saying:

"I'm not fighting him. He's NO WHERE near my weight..idk why this page keep posting s**t like this."

The fan account deleted the post but a screenshot was posted on X alongside Davis' comment.
