Gervonta Davis Willing to Follow Floyd Mayweather’s Footsteps in WWE

Both professional wrestling and boxing have significantly different fan bases and sport-specific restrictions. But over time, there have been some remarkable intersections between the two. From Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis to Muhammad Ali and Mr. T, boxers have occasionally appeared in the world of sports entertainment. Another boxing celebrity now appears to be prepared to follow in their footsteps.

The two-division boxing world champion Gervonta Davis recently discussed his interest in professional wrestling in an interview with AKHi TV. While Davis’ attention is still primarily on his boxing career, he sees wrestling as a chance to grow his brand and forge new connections with his audience. Regarding the possibility of a boxing-wrestling fusion and the implications for combat sports in general, Davis’ remarks raise some intriguing questions. Could more boxers enter the wrestling arena in the near future?

Gervonta Davis Open to Pro Wrestling

During the interview with AKHi TV, the interviewer asked Davis if he would ever consider pursuing professional wrestling, to which Davis responded, “Yeah I would do that, yeah I would do that, that’s fire.” When asked if he was a fan of wrestling, Davis replied, “Yeah for sure”, and he talked about a moment where Floyd Mayweather punched the Big Show and said, “he really hit big show, that’s crazy.”

Undoubtedly, the possibility of more crossover events between the two sports exists, and Gervonta Davis’s inclination toward wrestling might lead to some exhilarating opportunities in the future. However, it’s still uncertain whether Davis will pursue his interest in wrestling or not, but his enthusiasts will surely be watching his next steps with bated breath.

Boxers who have made the transition to wrestling

Throughout the years, there have been numerous instances of boxers crossing over to the world of professional wrestling, with differing levels of triumph. One of the most prominent examples is none other than Floyd Mayweather, who has appeared multiple times on WWE shows, notably his notorious punch to the Big Show during WrestleMania 24. Mayweather’s appearances on WWE gave him the opportunity to expose himself to a more diverse audience and highlighted his charming persona beyond the boxing ring.
