‘I Ain’t No Mike Tyson’: Gervonta Davis Responds to Shakur Stevenson’s Absurd Comparison

Gervonta Davis is one of the scariest boxers of recent times. In a short span of time, the Maryland native has received some sound attention from hardcore boxing lovers. Davis possesses slick power, controlled movements, and paramount stamina, that eventually helps him outclass his opponents inside the squared circle.

But is his style anywhere close to the greats Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali? The WBO super-featherweight champ, Shakur Stevenson, feels so.

That said, ‘Tank’, in a fresh interview, responded to Stevenson’s comparisons. Es News shared this video, wherein Davis can be seen giving his real opinion.

“You know I ain’t no damn Mike Tyson versus no Muhammad Ali. It’ll be like, I won’t even say what it’ll be like,” said Davis.

‘Tank’ himself laughed over this comparison. With his comments, he cleared that there’s no comparison between him and Tyson or Muhammad Ali.

Just like any other young gun in the sport, Davis, too, shares massive respect for ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ and Ali. That said, not only Davis, but any other young boxing star wouldn’t enjoy getting compared with the likes of Ali and Tyson. This is because they may not feel worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the pioneers of the sport.
