Gervonta Davis and Billy Joe Saunders have unexpectedly begun a fiery beef online after the former world champion took aim at 'Tank' over footage of him talking to P. Diddy. The hip-hop mogul is currently enthralled in a serious legal case involving sexual assault and human trafficking.
Davis in turn targeted the parenting skills of Saunders, criticizing the Brit's leniency towards his son's appearance.
The former WBO champion took to Instagram in a seemingly unprovoked attack on Davis, and posted the following in relation to the American's past domestic violence case:
"She got made because he had the baby oil treatment. And then domestic violence come in to the house."

The WBA lightweight champion appeared genuinely confused by the super-middleweight boxer's attack, as he took to X and wrote:
"Quick question... Is Billy Joe Saunders losing his mind or [something]?"
Before the 30-year-old decided to fire back at his fellow pugilist, writing this on X:
"He wanna dm somethign crazy and his 10 year old son has his shoes on the wrong feet and his son's Air Max 95 [are] fake... I know a wanna be when I see it."
He added:
"He got a nerve to have many men on this picture.. Many men should beat ya a** for letting ya son go out like that.. He's a reflection of you, Red Neck"

Gervonta Davis slams Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson matchmaking
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul faced off on Nov. 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas in the former heavyweight champion's first professional fight since 2005. Entering the ring at the age of 58 years old, there was anticipation from fans about whether or not Tyson would be able to turn back the clock and knock his oppponent out.
But 'Iron Mike' suffered a unanimous decision defeat in a performance that showcased the 31-year age gap between him and his opponent, much to Gervonta Davis' disgust.
'Tank' was recently interviewed by Fight Hub TV, where he was asked for further comment on his previous statement that Paul was a "clown". He said:
"Because why was [Paul] even wanting to fight him? And who told Mike Tyson to fight anyway?"
The WBA champion was also asked if Tyson has damaged his legacy by fighting Paul, and he said:
"Yeah, they did. They definitely did."
