Gervonta Davis didn’t mince his words when expressing his opinion on the judges’ decision for the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk fight. Despite Usyk securing a split-decision victory and becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion, Davis felt differently about the outcome.
In a now-deleted tweet, Davis shared his succinct assessment, stating, “One good round doesn’t win the fight.” His comment seemed to imply that Usyk’s standout performance in Round 9 wasn’t sufficient to sway the result in his favor, suggesting that Fury should have been awarded the victory instead.
Davis’ opinion reflects a common sentiment among some fans and analysts who questioned the judges’ decision, particularly regarding the standing 10-count given to Fury in Round 9. Despite Usyk’s dominance in certain rounds, Davis and others felt that Fury’s performance throughout the fight warranted a different outcome.
Meanwhile, Davis found himself embroiled in controversy of his own when he accused boxing promoter Eddie Hearn of orchestrating Ryan Garcia’s recent drug test failures. Hearn vehemently denied these accusations, labeling Davis’ remarks as baseless and irresponsible.
Davis’ deleted tweet and subsequent allegations drew strong criticism from Hearn, who condemned Davis’ actions and urged him to stand by his statements instead of deleting them.
In both instances, Davis found himself at the center of attention, sharing his views on significant events in the boxing world while also facing backlash for his outspoken remarks.
