New reports have emerged about Gervonta Davis’ fight against Leo Santa Cruz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/leo-santa-cruz/]. In a stunning turn of events, fans on social media have noticed the undefeated [https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/643387] champion change gloves before the fight. Several videos have surfaced where Gervonta Davis is seen training in a different pair of Grant gloves. However, when he walked out to the fight, he was wearing a pair of white ‘Winning’ gloves. Conspiracy theories have since been brewing until Davis shut them down. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/200206170551-gervonta-davis-exlarge-169-e1585497519252.jpg] Before the fight, Davis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-floyd-mayweather-gives-update-on-gervonta-davis-ppv-future-after-leo-santa-cruz-event/] was hitting mitts in the warmup, wearing Grant gloves with the logo on it, and the Mexican colors on the thumb. However, in the fight, Davis is seen fighting with plain white gloves with no logo. We suspect that these gloves are a pair of winnings gloves. Some people started accusing the American of cheating by tampering with his gloves, especially after the latest controversy surrounding Deontay Wilder and his comments [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-you-scratched-flesh-out-of-my-ears-deontay-wilder-makes-wild-accusations-against-thief-tyson-fury/]. Davis has since come out to explain the issue. The WBA lightweight and super-featherweight champion wrote this on his Twitter: “Leo signed off on both fight gloves… Ask him.” He then explained why he changed the gloves. He said, “And I changed my gloves because my first pair was uncomfortable… I do not have to cheat to win.” Thus, putting all the rumors to bed before it could even materialize. WHY DID GERVONTA DAVIS HAVE TWO PAIRS OF FIGHT GLOVES? The glove situation in boxing is something that fans do not see and therefore do not completely understand. However, one day before the fight, the fighter has to choose 2 pairs of gloves he wants to use. The opponent and his team then inspect these gloves and hand them over to the commission that has sanctioned the fight. The opponent has to sign on the gloves as a mark of approval. The sanctioning authorities [https://www.proboxing-fans.com/boxing-101/sanctioning-bodies/] then keep the gloves with them until fight night. They then hand over the gloves to the team in the dressing room. An official watches the procedure of hand wrapping. Thus, there is no room for cheating when it comes to gloves. The accusations that were coming up were from those who do not understand this procedure. Gervonta Davis won [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-conor-mcgregor-ryan-garcia-terence-crawford-and-more-react-to-gervonta-davis-vicious-ko-of-leo-santa-cruz/] that fight fair and square.

After a stunning finish to the Leo Santa Cruz fight, rumors circulated about
Gervonta Davis' gloves. The champion has since cleared the issue

Gervonta Davis

Â  Â  Gervonta Davis Net Worth 2024: Record, Family, and Career Â Who is Gervonta Davis? Twenty-nine-year-old Gervonta Davis began his boxing journey at age five. An outstanding amateur career saw him win two hundred and six matches against a loss of only fifteen. WASHINGTON, DC &#8211; JANUARY 07: Gervonta Davis looks on before fighting Hector Luis Garcia in their WBA World Lightweight Championship bout at Capital One Arena on January 7, 2023 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) By 2013, at age eighteen, he switched to a professional career, debuting against Desi Williams on February 13. He moved three weight divisions during the next decade, winning multiple titles. Davis has yet to come across the face of defeat in his career. In 2024, Davis converted to Islam and is now known as Abdul Wahid. Â  Gervonta Davisâ€™ Early Life Gervonta Davis was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 7, 1994. He used to go to Digital Harbor School but left it early to focus more on boxing. Reportedly, he obtained his high school diploma through a G.E.D. program. Davis&#8217; parents, father, Garrin Davis, and mother, Kenya Brown, were reportedly addicted to banned substances. Hence childhood in a troubled home resulted in him being taken from one foster home to another. The area he grew up in was called Sandtown-Winchester. Located in West Baltimore, it gained notoriety as a highly crime-prone locality. Davis has often claimed to have lost quite a few friends to violence. When he was eight, he told The Sun about trying a banned substance. Seemingly he didn&#8217;t like it and decided not to touch it again. Gervonta Davis&#8217; partner and children The twenty-nine-year-old world champion Gervonta Davis has never been married. However, he has been through a few relationships over the years. Gervonta Davis and Andretta Smothers &#8211; Reportedly, the two were in a relationship for a long time. On June 20, 2018, she gave birth to their daughter Gervanni. However, the relations between Davis and Smothers soon turned for the worse. While they went separate ways, Smothers, unemployed at the time, filed a case against Davis demanding child support besides their daughter&#8217;s custody. Reportedly, Davis agreed to take care of her schooling and daycare tuition and pay up to $10k monthly as child support. Gervonta Davis and Ariana Fletcher &#8211; The details of Davis&#8217;s on-and-off relationship with Instagram model and entrepreneur Ariana Fletcher soon started grabbing headlines. At one point of time in 2019, they became so popular that they were considered the internet&#8217;s favorite couple.? But later, the couple went through a very public split. Gervonta Davis and Yaya &#8211; Gervonta Davis has been reported to have dated his mentor and promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s daughter, Yaya. Though no longer together, their on-off relationship seems to have caught much attention. Sometimes, early in 2020, details of Davis and Yaya handcuffed by police also grabbed headlines. Besides the above, Gervonta Davisâ€™s name has also been associated with Dretta Star, Dess Dior, and Aillen Giellsele. Lastly, the boxer also dated model and social media influencer Vanessa Posso. On Instagram, she enjoys a following of over half a million people. Additionally, she appears to be a successful businesswoman with her jewelry brand, RichGirlz. The couple also became parents to Giovanna Thalia in October 2021. It is still not known when they started dating, but they have broken up. Their relationship turned south ever since the Baltimore native was accused and eventually charged with causing bodily harm to Vanessa on the campus of the University of Miami in 2020. Although the case was finally dropped, the damage was done and they went their separate ways As things stand in 2024, Gervonta Davis (now Abdul Wahid)&#8217;s relationship status remains unconfirmed. Â  Gervonta Davis&#8217; Net Worth 2024 Itâ€™s natural for fans and followers to ask how much money Gervonta Davis has made through the years if boxing matches are his only source of income, or if he has other avenues that provide meaningful benefits to him and his family. Gervonta Davisâ€™s net worth hovers in the vicinity of $10 Million, according to Sports Arch. While it would be difficult to calculate the exact amount he received for each match since he debuted, we have details of the money he made through a few recent bouts. Reportedly, for the bout against Hector Luis Garcia, Tank received a guaranteed purse of $1.5 million besides a 60% share in the income generated through PPV sales. Likewise, for his fight against Rolando Romero, his guaranteed purse amounted to $2 million, besides the 50% share in PPV earnings. Going back to 2021, for the December fight against Isaac Cruz, Tank&#8217;s guaranteed purse was $1 million, along with 60% of the split up done for PPV sales. For the Mario Barrios fight in June of that year, his remuneration included the guaranteed purse of $1 million and a 60% share of the PPV revenue. For the fights against Leo Santa Cruz (2020), and Yuriorkis Gamboa (2019), his guaranteed purse stood at $1 million. However, the share of the income through PPV sales varied from 50% to 55%, respectively. However, Tankâ€™s biggest payday came when he fought Ryan Garcia. The fight fetched him a guaranteed purse of $5 Million, according to Sports Payout. Of course, his earnings from the fight will be a lot more if we consider the 50-50 Pay Per View split. Davisâ€™ earnings through a few other matches fought in the years 2017 to 2019 are as follows: Vs. Ricardo Nunez &#8211; Guaranteed purse, $750,000, PPV share &#8211; 60%; Vs. Hugo Ruiz &#8211; Guaranteed purse &#8211; $500,000, PPV share &#8211; 50%; Vs. Jesus Cuellar &#8211; Guaranteed purse &#8211; $400,000, PPV share &#8211; 50%; Vs. Francisco Fonseca &#8211; Guaranteed purse &#8211; $600,000, PPV share &#8211; 55%; Regarding endorsements, Baltimore, Maryland, headquartered Under Armour, is a company with which Davis is closely affiliated. The American sportswear giant signed the world champion in 2017. However, details about other brands he has partnered with for endorsements or sponsorships remain undisclosed. Gervonta Davisâ€™ Career Timeline Gervonta Davis started boxing when he was five years old. His amateur career was outstanding. He became the National Golden Gloves champion in 2012. Before the feat, he was the National Silver Gloves champion. Additionally, he went on to win two gold medals at the National Junior Olympics. If this was not enough, he became the National Police Athletic League and Ringside World champion twice! His amateur record was two hundred and six wins against only fifteen losses. He professionally debuted against Desi Williams on February 22, 2013, and won the match convincingly with a first-round knockout. After that, he participated in sixteen bouts for three years, winning all but one through early stoppages. Davis bagged his first world title, IBF Super Featherweight, on January 14, 2017, after knocking out Jose Pedraza in the seventh round at New Yorkâ€™s Barclays Center. He managed to defend it against Liam Walsh in May of that year but eventually lost it as he missed weight against Francisco Fonseca in their September fight. By April 2018, he took home the subsequent title, the vacant WBA (Super) Super Featherweight, after a knockout victory over the Argentine Jesus Cuellar and defended it successfully till 2019. Making his way up the weight divisions, he fought and defeated the Cuban Yurirokis Gamboa for the WBA (Regular) Lightweight title on December 28, 2019. Then, roughly a year later, on October 31, 2020, by knocking out the Mexican boxer Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round, not only did he defend the WBA (Regular) Lightweight but won the WBA (Super) Super Featherweight also in turn. On June 26, 2021, he met Mario Barrios at Atlanta, Georgia&#8217;s State Farm Arena, and netted the WBA (Regular) Super Lightweight title. Ever since, he has been defending it despite challenges from the likes of Isaac Cruz (December 5, 2021), Rolando Romero (May 28, 2022), and Hector Garcia on January 7, 2023. Davisâ€™ last fight was against Ryan Garcia and it went on to become the biggest PPV event of his career. â€˜KingRyâ€™ suffered his first career loss at the hands of Davis, the latter securing a stoppage win over the Victorville native with a liver shot in the seventh round. The event generated a live gate of $22.8 million and roped in over $100 Million in revenue. Overall, Gervonta Davisâ€™Â  professional record stands at twenty-nine wins, of which 93% came through knockouts. Gervonta Davis&#8217; signature boxing techniques Southpaw -Â Gervonta Davis is a Southpaw and has been observed to use a pawing jab against orthodox boxers. Defensively, it allows keeping a distance between himself and the opponents. For offensive purposes, Tank employs either a leading left hook or left straight punch to the body, especially when fighting against bigger foes. Outstanding ring IQ -Â Time and again, Davis has proved to have an innate ability to read an opponent. A good example would be the fight against Leo Santa Cruz. Standing at five feet and six inches and a sixty-seven-and-a-half inch reach puts him in a disadvantageous position against bigger fighters. So he smartly manages the range, sidestepping every attack the opponent throws. In his decade-long career, barely has there been an instance when Davis got hurt by shots thrown at him. Strong right hand -Â Even though he is a perennial left-handed boxer, there&#8217;s no reason to doubt that Tank would be weak with his right hand. Though typically in the southpaw stance, his right hand would be in front to deflect the opponent&#8217;s incoming shots.? However, as exemplified by the Leo Santa Cruz fights, he can use his right offensively to set the final shot with his left on either the face or body. Pressure fighting style -Â Though Gervonta Davis could be equated as a switch-hitter, let there be no doubts about what he enjoys doing the most in the ring. He loves stalking his opponents and loosens up a barrage of punch combinations when the time comes. It perplexes the foe into committing a blunder. That&#8217;s when Davis lands a fight-ending knockout blow like a classic pressure fighter. Powerful lead hook &#8211; The southpaw stance requires Davis to keep his left hand back while using the right hand to land jabs and for defense. However, the style hasn&#8217;t deprived the Baltimorean to alternately use his lead hand for thrusting a hook, either to the body or face. Often at a close range, he might need more time to chamber in the dominant left hand for that perfect hook. So instead, very intelligently, he shoots the hand most relative to the opponent. In most cases, it has been found that Tank&#8217;s opponents were barely prepared for such an onslaught. Accurate puncher -Â It&#8217;s not enough if you know how to execute a punch. It should find its target to make it useful, else it&#8217;s nothing but a sheer waste of energy. Tank has often claimed that accuracy is the key to his power. After all, for a boxer who has won 93% of his matches through knockouts, it&#8217;s relatively understandable the kind of precision he would have to stop twenty-seven opponents early in the fight! Gervonta Davisâ€™ Partnerships and Endorsements The American sports apparel and accessories company based in Maryland, Under Armour, signed the boy from their hometown, Davis, in 2017 With that, &#8216;Tank&#8217; joined the esteemed company of elite boxers like Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez. After signing â€˜Tankâ€™, the companyâ€™s senior vice president for global brand management, Adrienne Lofton told the Baltimore Sun, â€œOur I-95 billboards are our hometown heroes. We look for the next best talent all over the world. So being a young athlete from Baltimore, we knew about him.&#8221;Â  To announce the partnership, Under Armor plastered Davisâ€™ face across a couple of billboards embellished with the catchphrase &#8211; â€œBaltimoreâ€™s ownâ€. Apart from the Baltimore-based company, his other brand endorsements cannot be ascertained as of now. Gervonta Davisâ€™ Career Stats Gervonta Davis has twenty-nine fights under his belt, suffering no losses, and he has won 27 of them via knockout. Only, two of his fights went the distance. Davis has a KO rate of 93.1%. Gervonta Davisâ€™ charity and foundation Gervonta Davis believes in giving back to the community he once grew up in. In his latest charitable venture, Davis plans to revitalize his childhood block in West Baltimore. He bought a nine-house block in Sandtown, Winchester, to convert them into affordable housing. GTD Development, owned by Davis, will be involved in the renovation work. Recognizing Davisâ€™ efforts to invest in the community, City Council Nick Mosby said, &#8220;Tank, when he goes around the world, he literally carries the city of Baltimore on his back,&#8221;Â  Â &#8220;For you to come back, invest in your hometown, invest in your community, and invest in your block &#8211; is truly, truly special,&#8221; he added. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Gervonta Davisâ€™ house The Baltimore native bought a penthouse condominium at Silo Point in Locust Point last year for $3.4 million. He bought the splendid condominium from Baltimore developer Scott Plank. Charlie Hatter, CEO and co-owner of Monumental Sothebyâ€™s International Realty said he brokered the deal.Â  Davis had been looking for a new apartment, and Sotheby was happy enough to show him a video of the loft-style penthouse. Davis developed a liking for the stunning estate and was ready to seal the deal. â€œBaltimore has nationally known celebrities and [Iâ€™m] glad to see them investing in Charm City,â€ Hatter said. Gervonta Davis titles Davis has held multiple titles in three different weight divisions. He won the IBF Super Featherweight, WBA (Super) Super Featherweight, and WBA (Regular) Super Lightweight titles. He currently holds the WBA (regular) lightweight champion which he won in 2019. Â Gervonta Davis&#8217; car collection Mercedes G-63 AMG To celebrate his victory over Rolando Romero, Davis bought a customized Mercedes AMG 63 from Champion Motoring in San Diego. Powered by a V-8 engine, the SUV boasts great off-road capabilities. The starting price of this car is $156, 450 before options. USSV Rhino GX The car was again commissioned through Champion Motoring in San Diego, California. The starting price of the car is $ 331,00. Adding his personalized touch, Davis has his handwriting imprinted at several places on the body of the car. Rolls Royce Cullinan The customized grey Rolls-Royce Cullinan was bought by Davis again from his preferred dealership in San Diego, Champion Motoring. The base price for a Cullinan is around $ 332,00. Lamborghini Urus The undefeated boxing champion has a knack for purchasing flashy cars, and this particular car was brought from the same dealership in San Diego. He expanded his car collection by adding a custom-built Matte Grey Widebody Lamborghin9i Urus, which cost around $400,00.It is equipped with a V-8 petrol twin-turbo engine that takes only 3 seconds to travel from 0-100 mph. Lamborgini Aventador This luxury car is the most exquisite piece of roadster in his car collection. The supercar costs around $450,000 and can reach 0-60 mph within only 3 seconds.

He also claimed silver at the U.S. National Championship in <a href="http://amateur-boxing.strefa.pl/Nationalchamps/USA2006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2006</a>. 
He turned professional at the age of 18 and has gone on to claim titles in 3 different weight classes. 'El Terremoto' still has sufficient time left in the sport and will look to carve out a niche for himself and claim titles in many more divisions.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Leo Santa Cruz: Record
</h2>
'El Terremoto' has put together a 37-2-1 <a href="https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/374624" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">record</a>. He started off his journey at bantamweight and went undefeated in 19 fights to earn his first full title shot. In this time, he claimed the WBC Youth interim bantamweight title vs Stephane Jamoye. The gold cemented the then 22-year-old as a top prospect in the bantamweight division.
'El Terremoto' won the IBF bantamweight title against Vusi Malinga and made 4 successful defenses. Subsequently, he moved up to super bantamweight and earned a championship bout against Victor Terrazas.

'El Terremoto' returned the favor just 5 months later and claimed the super featherweight title in 2019 vs Miguel Flores. However, Santa Cruz lost his title to Gervonta Davis in 2020 after he was viciously <a href="https://www.premierboxingchampions.com/davis-vs-santa-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">knocked out</a>.

Despite this, 2021 could be a career-defining year for the Mexican. It may be the last time we see the talented fighter compete for a world title.

 Santa Cruz's trainer and father Jose Santa Cruz suffered from cancer. As a result, he is always keen to be a part of initiatives to spread awareness about the condition.

He started off his journey at bantamweight and went undefeated in 19 fights to earn his first full title shot. In this time, he claimed the WBC Youth interim bantamweight title vs Stephane Jamoye.

Subsequently, he moved up to super bantamweight and earned a championship bout against Victor Terrazas.  LOS ANGELES, CA &#8211; JUNE 09: Leo Santa Cruz (gold shorts) in the ring as he gets ready to start against Abner Mares (not pictured) in their WBA Featherweight Title &amp; WBC Diamond Title fight at Staples Center on June 9, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.
