Cobra Fade Boxing dropped a hint, a tantalizing tease. The tweet suggests something big, something fans have been yearning for. No, it’s not a new boxing gear endorsement, nor a cameo in a movie. It’s about a face-off. A battle. And not just with any opponent. Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis might be in the opposite corner. Vegas might host this spectacle, and it’s closer than you think.
Is Teofimo Lopez gearing up for a showdown with Davis?
