"He did press, gym, and weigh in" - Gervonta Davis' hairstylist breaks silence on fan backlash after 'Tank' blames grease for controversial knee

An unlikely factor seemingly played a role in Gervonta Davis settling for a majority draw in his recently concluded clash against Lamont Roach Jr. The draw stands as the lone blemish on Davis's otherwise perfect record, with 30 wins, comprising 28 knockout victories.

The fight ended in controversy after 'Tank' voluntarily dropped to a knee in the ninth round. He claimed that the hair product he was using caused irritation in his eye.

The moment sparked debate as his opponent and boxing fans argued it should have been ruled a knockdown. The questionable decision-making lapse from the referee seemingly changed the outcome of the fight.

Following fan backlash, Davis's hairstylist defended herself, stating that she had done his hair days before the fight. According to a post on X by @HappyPunch, she said:

"I did his hair WEDNESDAY, It's SATURDAY! He did press, gym, and weigh in. That's no excuse, how much grease did I use damn”

Davis, meanwhile, took to X to clarify his stance and wrote:

"They took the fight from me and made it a draw [because] I did that bullsh*t knee. But I landed the most punches in the fight. He didn’t even hit me [with] a punch when I took the knee. I get it though. I shouldn’t have done that, but that hair grease was burning my eyes!"
