Gervonta Davis and Eddie Hearn have disagreed in DMs and on social media over Ryan Garcia’s failed drugs tests.
Davis surprisingly leapt to the defence of Garcia, who tested positive for osterine on two separate drug tests taken by VADA, the day before and the day of his upset win over Devin Haney last month.
Tank then insisted Garcia was being set up and took aim at Hearn, to which the promoter confronted the undefeated star in his private messages.
Hearn posted the DMs, in which he said: “You talk some s*** you do.”
Davis replied: “You know what you are.”
To which Hearn added: “Nah, and you don’t know me either. The s*** they fill your head with.”
The American concluded: “I know what’s facts and what you did before. I read through all that bull****.”
Their feud then went public, with Hearn tweeting: “Only one clown here. One minute you are accusing him, one minute you are saying he’s been set up.
Davis tweeted back: “I know what you are and what you do. You are a snake in a suit that fake a** smile doesn’t fool me.”
Hearn added: “Your head has fallen off.”
Davis replied: “And I would knock your head clean off your shoulders mate.”
Before Hearn finished: “With a step ladder.”
The Matchroom kingpin had already hit out at Davis in a rant earlier in the day, which had likely caught the attention of ‘Tank’.
Davis had even messaged Garcia claiming he was defending him, to which ‘King Ry’ urged a rematch to take place in the future.
Garcia was beaten by the 29-year-old in April 2023, but responded in style with his win over Haney.
But he produced two positive tests, as well as a metabolite of nandrolone in one of the samples, but the result is yet to be confirmed and is pending further enquiry.
The New York Commission who sanctioned his recent outing against ‘The Dream’ are now investigating the failed tests and could overturn the win.
Garcia has denied claims that he allegedly ‘cheated’ and insisted he will prove his innocence in the coming weeks.
