LOL. UFC fighters want that boxing paycheck but don't understand that boxers have the autonomy to choose opponents.
It's not about not wanting "smoke." It's about professional self-determination, a foreign concept to those who let the kickboxing instructor choose their fights.
Enough said… you don’t want that smoke in a real fight. I hear you! Good luck champ 👊🏿

Disgusting. Sometimes the veneer wears off & people say what they actually think. In this case, repeating despicable racial tropes of Black fighters as unintelligent & unthinking.
I know Gervonta & I know Mike, and they're deeper thinkers than the person who made this statement.
Eddie Hearn: "The dangerous thing about Gervonta Davis is he's not a deep thinker, not articulate. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way. He's a bad motherf***er. Like Mike Tyson. That makes him dangerous because he's fearless, you can't get into his head." [
