One of the leading prospects in US boxing and one of America’s most talented fighters have exchanged some heated words in a new beef that appears to have formed.
Davis is a bit further along in his career to date having already become a world champion only to lose it on the scales.
He’s still undefeated, like Stevenson, but unlike Stevenson, he doesn’t enjoy a good relationship with his promoter.
Davis appears to be in limbo with this beef with promoter Floyd Mayweather in terms of when he is going to fight next but one thing is for sure, he’s not scared to do a bit of self promotion on Twitter by slagging off fellow boxers in the meantime, or give back anything thrown at him.
Here’s the back and forth between him and Stevenson so far:

Where is all this coming from? Is it because the attention is on him right now? It’s enough fame to go around. You don’t have to down every fighter who gets some Shine Tank. https://t.co/PRAEnefbGB
