Gervonta Davis has added his voice to the discussions about the upcoming Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez fight. The lightweight champion criticized the fight's arrangement and got into a social media back-and-forth with Crawford.
Crawford and Alvarez have reportedly agreed to face each other this year after meeting separately with Saudi chief Turki Alalshikh in London over the weekend. This deal comes after a year of talks between the two fighters, who are considered among the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world.
While many in boxing are excited about this match-up, Davis isn't impressed. He took to social media to voice his displeasure, focusing on not being invited to the recent Ring Magazine awards in London.
"Why they didn't invite everybody. But they invited people they deal w…f**k outta here. stop d**k eating. They wanna act like this guy good for boxing when he not good at s**t. If so why he not building the people where he from."
Crawford didn't let this slide. He responded on his own social media, poking fun at Davis:
"I see somebody mad they wasn't invited to the gala. I remember being left out. that's why when they let me in I crashed the party."
Davis fired back, focusing on money. He claimed, "I still make more than you," and added, "Yall think he chasing greatness. He's not that's what he have to do to make decent money."
Davis's coach, Calvin Ford, has also weighed in on how he thinks the fight will go, though the details of his prediction weren't provided.
As the build-up to Crawford vs Alvarez continues, it's clear that the fight is getting attention from all corners of the boxing world, even from those who aren't directly involved.
