Berlanga, a super middleweight boxer on the rise, used to be a fan of Davis. But that changed in a flash one night when both fighters were at the same club. Berlanga was there as a guest of the owners, and his dad was with him.
Here's where it gets messy. Berlanga's father, who knew Davis from the amateur boxing scene, tried to say hello. He went up to Davis and said, "Yo, what's up champ," while giving him a friendly pat on the shoulder.
But Davis didn't take it well. At all.
"He just went crazy, like 'don't touch me!'"Berlanga said in a recent chat on the Mr. Jay Hill Network.
That's when Berlanga lost his cool. He couldn't believe Davis would disrespect his dad like that.
"I just snapped. We just started arguing back and forth... That's where our beef started."
Since then, the two fighters have been at odds. It's a feud that's been simmering under the surface, with fans wondering if it'll ever lead to a showdown in the ring.
Davis, known as 'Tank' for his knockout power, has his own drama to deal with. He's coming off a controversial draw against Lamont Roach and is looking at a rematch, though no date's been set yet.
For Berlanga, this isn't just about boxing anymore. It's personal. He can't forgive Davis for disrespecting his father. The question now is: will these two ever settle their differences with gloves on?
Fans are eager to see if this bad blood will lead to a fight. But with Berlanga climbing the ranks at super middleweight and Davis typically fighting at lighter weights, it might be a long shot.
One thing's for sure - this feud isn't going away anytime soon. And in the world of boxing, where personal rivalries often fuel the biggest fights, you never know what might happen.
