When the grand arrivals for the Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin fight (and Benavidez vs Gvozdyk) were happening in Las Vegas, Tank was a no-show. A deleted social media post got rumors swirling, and then this video of Davis allegedly out in public the same day in Las Vegas only led to more questions about his intentions.
The identity of the man jogging in the video is unconfirmed, but is alleged to be Davis, who often runs in a hoodie based on several training images on his Instagram account.
The time and place also lines up: Davis is in the Sin City for the fight this Saturday June 15, and he suggested on his Twitter/X account that he would be missing the grand arrival.
Gervonta Davis’ deleted social media post gives a hint
A since-deleted tweet was the first sign of Gervonta Davis‘ frustration about the upcoming fight, as he wrote, “The promotion for this fight been ass..now watch ion show up to the arrivals shit today..”
Why was Tank Davis a no-show for grand arrivals?
True to his word, Davis left Frank Martin solo at the grand arrival, shifting the focus of the event toward David Benavidez and Oleksandr Gvozdyk. This strategy earned heavy critiques, suggesting Tank was making the problem worse.
“Sooo. If the promotion was bad shouldn’t he help it out?” Said a confused response to the deleted post on X. “Everybody showed up but him. This dude got major character flaws and the ppl who support him do too.”
His supporters gave him more benefit of the doubt, while some boxing fans pointed to a separate explanation for his sweltering run altogether.
“Mind games and promotion from Tank,” one fan wrote.
“But tank was recorded in Vegas running while the grand arrival was going on. 4 days out from the fight. He doing roadwork but got his fans thinking he’s mad with the promotion? Seem like he trying to make weight on Friday. Say that then,” argued a reply from someone who had seen the video.
One way or another, the truth will land this weekend.
