As the lines between boxing and MMA continue to blur, another boxer is expressing interest in competing in the octagon, and the responses from purists were interesting.
Over the weekend, former super featherweight boxing champion Gervonta Davis tweeted that he would be interested in fighting in the UFC.
I think I want to fight in the UFC
— Gervonta Davis (@Gervontaa) March 10, 2018
Adding no further explanation, the tweet marinated and a number of MMA fighters weighed in.
Davis, who next sees action on April 21 against Jesus Cuellar in Brooklyn, was likely stirring the pot but that didn’t stop the responses from coming in.
To see who is interested in seeing Davis in the Octagon, flip the pages.
