“I Have the Whole Package”: Despite Being Branded “Modern-Day Mike Tyson”, Gervonta Davis Reveals What Makes Him Different From Former Heavyweight Champion
Gervonta Davis, also known as 'Tank', has been a prominent figure in the world of boxing. With his explosive fighting style and undeniable power, Davis has drawn comparisons to legendary boxers like Mike Tyson.
However, despite the similarities, Davis has made it clear that he sees himself as a unique talent with his own distinct style.
After his impressive victory over Ryan Garcia, Davis has been the subject of much speculation regarding his next fight.
It has been around 7 months since his last appearance in the ring, and fans are eagerly awaiting news of his next opponent.
Despite discussions about potential matchups with the likes of Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney, no official announcements have been made regarding Davis' next fight.
This period of inactivity has made Davis the least active among the top contenders. However, his undeniable talent has not gone unnoticed.
Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. has been vocal in his praise for Davis, hailing him as the most entertaining fighter among his peers.
Jones even went as far as drawing comparisons between Davis and Mike Tyson, emphasizing Davis' raw power and ability to create excitement inside and outside the ring.
In a recent interview with Youtuber Funny Marco on his show Open Thoughts, Davis addressed the comparisons to Mike Tyson.
When asked if he felt like a "mini Mike Tyson" during his fights, Davis simply replied with a resounding "No." This response sparked further discussion about the differences between their fighting styles.
Davis clarified that he sees himself as a "boxer-puncher" while categorizing Tyson as a "brawler". According to Davis, this fundamental difference in approach sets them apart, at least in terms of terminology.
When questioned about whether he believes he can knock out opponents quicker than Tyson, Davis emphasized that while Tyson possesses immense power and skills, he sees himself as having a more comprehensive skill set.
On the other hand, Mike Tyson himself has acknowledged the similarities between their punching styles.
In various interviews, Tyson has addressed the comparisons and acknowledged the explosive power that both he and Davis possess.
Despite the comparisons to a boxing legend like Mike Tyson, Gervonta Davis remains focused on carving out his own legacy in the sport.
With his exceptional talent and unwavering determination, Davis continues to captivate fans and fellow boxers alike.
As the anticipation for his next fight builds, one thing is certain – when Gervonta Davis steps into the ring, the world will be watching a modern-day powerhouse in action.
