We’ve got a new WBA fan in the Sanders family! It’s none other than the Well Off Media tycoon, Deion Sanders Jr.! He seems to have been carried away by the lightweight championship fever, so much so that he ended up making a bold verdict on X.

Bucky is not to be blamed, though. It is Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Frank Martin who are in the ring, which makes it tough to keep away from becoming an analyst. This is not the first time that Deion Jr. passed his expert commentary as far as WBA is concerned. Earlier, it was Ryan Garcia who was on Bucky’s radar.

WBA fans were ecstatic as Tank made a triumphant return to the ring after more than a 421-day layoff. This time again, he showed why he was one of the top pound-for-pound boxers. On June 15 night, Davis was unvanquished as he took charge over Martin, knocking him out at 1:29 of the eighth round to keep the WBA championship. Deion Jr. seemed deeply touched by the duel and presented Martin’s point of view, “It was a good fight… you can tell bro got tired.

For context, we must take a Reddit comment into consideration. In front of Davis’ gigantic physique, “He (Martin) couldn’t help but keep himself on the ropes.” The pressure from Tank was too much to take as he came up with a right and two left deliveries to Martin’s face to send the Indianapolis resident to the canvas for his first career loss. This has been the second time in two months that Bucky appeared a boxing enthusiast publicly.

Deion Sanders Jr. joins the Garcia hype, taking his new friend’s side

Back in April, the heart-pounding showdown between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney shook Deion Sanders Jr. Garcia, who went off as a 6-1 underdog, dropped Haney in the seventh, 10th, and 11th rounds. Fans could not help but bask in his talents, which comprised an explosive cocktail of speed and power to win a majority decision by scores of 115-109, 114-110, and 112-112.

It was NFL veteran Robert Griffin III who first hailed Garcia for his notable victory, “Ryan Garcia talked the talk and walked the walk. His heel turn is permanent now. Villain Ryan is here to stay.” Deion Jr. soon joined him as he celebrated Garcia’s success on his Instagram story, “The whole world was sleeping on bro.” Is the hype all because Bucky and Garcia have turned friends now? The duo has been spotted together multiple times, from taking limo rides to partying together. 

While the appreciation for Garcia might stem from a friendship, there is no proper insight into what made Bucky take Martin’s side. But his venture Well Off Media might be under threat, as boxing may take up its place in Deion Jr.’s “my dear” list.
