Three-division boxing champion Gervonta Davis survived a plane crash earlier today.
The 26-year-old went live on Instagram minutes after the accident and revealed that his plane crashed before it took off completely. Davis also clarified that he didn't suffer any injuries.
From what Davis showed during his live Instagram session, the plane that he and his team had boarded slid off the runway. 'Tank' added that the pilots could have flown the plane through take off, but decided not to do so when they suspected a technical failure, suggesting that the pilots weren't to be blamed.
“I’m good, it’s just that my a** is hot, I’m sitting on this hot-ass concrete... For everybody wanting to fly private, I think it’s over with. I’ll be driving or catching a train," said Gervonta Davis.
Gervonta Davis' Instagram live video was later uploaded to YouTube by Fighthype.com. Watch the video below:
