On his part, Mr. Stephen Espinoza, President, SHOWTIME Sports, stated that “‘Tank’ Davis is at the top of the boxing mountain and selling-out arenas coast-to-coast for a reason”.

Mr. Stephen Espinoza
Highlighting the abilities of “Rolly”, Mr. Espinoza said “Rolly” is an ultra-confident, power puncher on a mission. “He’s an underdog with something to prove and that makes him very dangerous. This is, by far, his biggest opportunity to date and he’s going to leave everything in the ring one way or another”.
At the press conference leading to the December bout, Gervonta said “‘Rolly’ is just here to talk. He’s trying to talk his way into winning, but he’s scared”.
“I’m coming to fight. They only talk about his power, but this is boxing. His skills are not up to par with mine. He can’t even talk about power because everyone knows I’m bringing it.
“He’s been talking for a long time. He’s trying to sell a fight, but I’m going to show him that he’s a chump on December 5. I’m not here to talk, I’m here to fight.”

“I’ve been calling ‘Tank’ out since 2017. We were supposed to spar in 2018 and he didn’t show up to the gym.
“He [Gervonta] did that twice because he knew he was getting beat. December 5th, you’re getting knocked out.”
