      If Gervanta Davis fights a Brit next I would have zero issues with him rocking the Union Jack and wearing a flat cap.

      Man up people
      I don’t understand you, whats there to be secure about? The dude wore the colors backwards on his robe and the sombrero was on backwards.

        Agree with this really.

        He's a little man. You've got to build the hype somehow.

        Good luck to him. He's exciting and he's going to bring fireworks for his whole career.

        I didnt watch the fight live the other night but I'll watch the next one if he's in there with a good fighter.

        That's the acid test really as a Brit boxing fan. Would you stay up in the small hours to watch a guy fight? Especially a little guy.

        Davis and his team are clearly doing something right.

        Maybe he's not a nice guy who knows? I'm never gonna have a pint with him

            i winced when i saw him come out in it. it was very disrespectful, tasteless and designed to provoke racial tension.

              IMO he should've tried to find a less offensive way to agitate fans.
              I figured Floyd did it because it was cinco de mayo. Ditto Fury. Had no idea why Tank did it.

                nahh...it's well known that black americans are so sensitive when it comes to race/culture matters so it's not a good look for a black guy like davis to do something that if it's the other way around will result in outrage on their part.

                  what if a mexican or white fighter puts on an afro wig and wears a dashiki?

                  would you be ok with that? something tells me you would scream racist..

                      what if leo came to the ring wearing a dashiki and an afro wig?
