“That Wasn’t Very Abdul Wahid of Him”: Fans Slam Gervonta Davis for Making Derogatory Remark After Being Called ‘Email Champion’

With the advent of the new year, the landscape of boxing has witnessed a significant shift. The WBA ‘Super’ lightweight champion title, once held by Devin Haney, has been officially relinquished. In the latest ratings update by the sanctioning body, published on Tuesday, Haney’s name was notably absent from the list of ‘Super’ champions in the lightweight division.

This alteration establishes Gervonta Davis as the sole and recognized WBA titleholder in the weight class. Davis, who previously held the WBA ‘Regular’ status, now stands as the undisputed champion in the eyes of the WBA. As this news broke out, one fan took a jab at Davis, which prompted a response that some may deem offensive.

Gervonta Davis gets verbally violent with a fan

In a recent social media revelation, boxing champion Gervonta Davis stirred the internet by announcing his conversion to Islam. Including his intention to adopt the name Abdul Wahid. The unexpected twist unfolded during an exchange of comments with a fan, taking the discussion into uncharted and contentious territory. This took a lot of fans by surprise.

So, when the famous boxing reporter Michael Benson talked about Davis becoming the sole WBA champion, one fan called him an “email champion“. Well, this enraged Davis and in the next tweet of the fan, he talked about taking his family member to his fight, and then also added a hideous remark in the next line.

Many fans were against such a thing and called the WBA champion out in the comments section instantly.

Fans expressed their disappointment with Davis

The boxing reporter Michael Benson again posted the screenshots of the exchange between Davis and the fan. Well, the fans showered the comments section with criticism.

One of the fans stated that Davis wasn’t following the path of his new name, i.e. Abdul Wahid.

Another fan mentioned that Gervonta Davis probably turned into a Muslim because he wanted some attention. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such a thing.

One fan stated that they understand getting frustrated with the haters.

But this doesn’t mean that anybody can respond in such a “vile” manner.

A fan remarked that they expected Davis to be better than this, especially now, since he has taken the path of Islamic religion.

An X user explained that a Muslim would never talk like this, and this clearly explains that Davis is doing something else that is making him this angry.

So, the fans were in complete opposition to Davis’s statements, and they did not condone such a behavior no matter what the circumstances were. What are your thoughts about this? Tell us in the comments section.
