At the final face-off ahead of the fight between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis, boxing legend Bernard Hopkins, the current Golden Boy Promotions executive touched ‘Tank’. This behavior of Hopkins immediately angered Davis and the latter ran into an altercation with the former unified middleweight champion of the world. Following the incident, in an interview with Ariel Helwani, Davis demanded Hopkins sat back and let the “young ones do it“.
Later, Davis tweeted his anger and questioned why Hopkins came near him. In his opinion, he should have “slapped” Bernard Hopkins as soon as he touched him. Meanwhile, the trainer of Gervonta Davis, Calvin Ford publicly stated the possible reason Hopkins touched ‘Tank’ at the official weigh-in.
