The rift between Davis and Mayweather has deepened over the years, despite their previous association under Mayweather Promotions. Davis, known as ‘Tank,’ parted ways with the promotional company in late 2022, opting to chart his own course under the guidance of advisor Al Haymon. While their split initially appeared amicable, tensions resurfaced, with Davis accusing Mayweather of obstructing his training access at the Mayweather gym ahead of his bout with Ryan Garcia in April 2023.
Although there seemed to be a reconciliation when Mayweather was seen cheering Davis on during his victory over Garcia, relations between the two have since soured once again. Mayweather’s recent remarks on social media, seemingly directed at Davis and other fighters, drew a sharp response from the young boxer, who accused Mayweather of financial mismanagement and labeled him a “hater.”
