Gervonta Davis' coach wants to fight Rolly Romero's coach

In a phone interview with EsNews, Gervonta Davis' coach, Calvin Ford, had some harsh words for Rolly Romero's coach, Cromwell Gordon Bullet.

Ford discussed how they had to change their gameplan to face Romero's awkward boxing style, but was confident that Gervonta Davis would be able to win.

Ford mentioned that Romero had previously said some unkind things about Davis, but it didn't bother their team because eventually, as stated by Davis:

"He'll have to put up or shut up."

EsNews mentioned that Romero stated that he would like their coaches to fight on the undercard, and Ford had this to say:

"We can, we can. His coach don't want that with me. Me fighting Bullet? Man, you see how I get down when I'm working. Bullet don't want this heat, that's why he never says nothing to me in my face. He knows how I get down. Come the 27th, and see how we get down that night. See the work that I put in with Tank the 28th. We're going to send a message they'll never forget."

Gervonta Davis recently posted this fight promotion video to his Instagram, where things get heated with Romero at the faceoff:
