Gervonta Davis is back! The smile is back on The Tank’s face as he preps for the Saturday night showdown against Puerto Rican Hector Luis Garcia.
Barely a week ago and the gala risked a journey to oblivion. Gervonta was picked up by law enforcement on charges of domestic violence in Florida. Imprisoned for the night, the Tank reportedly came out with a $1000 bail. Then there were reports of the woman in question, who went to the media offering her version that no such incident occurred. Davis’ troubles are not out of the door entirely. Come February, he will appear in court for a 2020 case hearing. But for the time being, he seems to have set aside the turmoils on the personal front and appeared pretty confident during a recent gathering surrounded by a horde of reporters and fans. In between this bustle, the champion shared his views on a few pertinent questions. Some of which rather amused him.
