Davis: “Broner’s simply jealous”

Reigning IBF junior lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis says he’s ready shut Adrien Broner’s mouth with his fists. Broner went off on the undefeated 22-year-old fighter earlier this week in an n-word laden, homophobic tirade and even blasted Floyd Mayweather for allowing Tank on The Money Team.

But Tank fired back — saying Broner’s hate stems from simple jealousy. “I came up so fast and I’m taking his spotlight,” Davis said. “He fell short.”

Davis says Broner was supposed to be the “next Floyd Mayweather” but he fell short and it’s killing him. Davis added that the two are headed for a showdown.
