“Baby Legs”: Despite Ripped Physique, Gervonta Davis Ridiculed by Fans for His Body Transformation Ahead of Frank Martin Fight

As usual, Gervonta Davis is in the headlines, but not for boxing. The American boxer is training hard to prepare for his yet-to-be-official fight against Frank Martin on June 22. However, it’s his body transformation that has seized the eyeballs, and the fans have gone berserk.

What has the WBA lightweight champion done? He recently uploaded a clip on the internet, and he appeared jacked. He seems to have added more mass to his frame and is lean and ripped. But the fans were not satisfied, as they found a way to mock him. What did they say?

Gervonta Davis maintaining peak fitness ahead of his next fight

Boxing Kingdom uploaded the clip and claimed that the 29-year-old boxer was at 4-5% body fat ahead of his rumored fight. They wrote, “Boxing Star Gervonta Davis absolutely ripped leading up to his bout against Frank Martin. Estimated between 4-5% body fat.”

Fans, who also had some jibes in the store, harshly contested the claim. Notably, many bodybuilders keep the fat percentage close to 5 before tournaments and competitions, as muscles, veins, and striations pop out and are prominently visible. This was not the case this time. So, that became a focal point when fans flooded the comment section.

Fans debate and play down ‘Tank’s physique

One fan observed that Davis was looking huge. They wrote, “Bro looking huge wtf.”

One user debated how one doesn’t lose body fat after cutting water. They announced, “Not true, when you cut water weight your body barely losses fat.”

Similarly, someone replied, “Not even close to 4-5%. He’d pass out in two rounds fighting at that bfp.”

A comment guessed the Baltimore native’s body fat to be “closer to 12%.”

Meanwhile, a boxing fan mocked Davis as he declared, “Baby legs lol.”

A fan theorized that Davis was building his body for endurance and preparing for the Frank Martin fight. They said, “He knows he has to box against Frank so he built his body for endurance. Don’t care what anybody says, this is Tank’s toughest opponent ever, and he is respecting it as such, this is gonna be a great fight.”

Someone in the comments threw a jibe at Boxing Kingdom and stated, “these accounts don’t know fitness! they see a guy w abs & estimate he’s at 4-6% body fat.”

Another comment also played down Davis’ physique as they announced, “Calling him absolutely ripped is an insane overstatement he looks ok lol he doesn’t even have a 6 pack rn neither.”

Lastly, a fan believed they had never seen Davis in “such good shape”.

Davis, at 29-0, is teased to fight Martin on June 22nd on Amazon Prime Video PPV in Houston, Texas. While he is coming off a year-long break, many fans will back him to bag a win. Meanwhile, Martin, at 18-0, is also undefeated but had a dismal performance against Artem Harutyunyan, and so is an underdog in this contest. It remains to be seen how Davis’ beefed-up physique will make a difference in the fight.
