Gervonta Davis Risks His Boxing Match After Brawl Between Rapper Meek Mill and Gary Russell Jr in the Crowd

Gervonta Davis and Hector Luis Garcia finally fought after a long controversy. However, by the end of the bout, there was another hot topic of discussion!

While the sport of boxing is more than a century old, not often the referees have stopped the bout because of a scuffle in the crowd. It was quite a sight to see the two boxers standing in the middle of the ring, while a fight was playing out in the audience.

After the PPV ended, Fight Hub’s Marcos Villegas reported on the news. Marcos revealed in a tweet that he spoke with Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza. Espinoza revealed that Gary Russell Jr and Mill caused the whole situation. After a few minutes, Mill and his team were ejected from the arena. But some may wonder why the two fell out.

I would never let no petty shit escalate to let somebody movie run …. I just walked away .. I came to support tank and boots!!!!!! Good wins ✨✨✨✨✨

There are rumors that Gary is not exactly a big fan of Gervonta Davis. Meek Mill, on the other hand, was there to root for his friend, “The Tank.” So one can assume that the confrontation had something to do with that as well. After the whole scenario, Meek tweeted about the situation and revealed that he “walked away” from the fight.
