It doesn’t appear Gervonta Davis will be fighting in Saudi Arabia anytime soon.
Two weeks ago, Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh said he wanted to bring Davis to fight in Saudi Arabia.
‼️ His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has said he wants to bring Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney to fight in Saudi Arabia: “I want him [Davis] and I send message now to Al Haymon – let's do the job brother. I want to see Haney in my country. I will try to do it in 2024.” [@DAZNBoxing]

Davis then demanded two Ferraris from the Saudis after he said they upset him during negotiations for a boxing match against Devin Haney.

“They made me mad, if they want me they gotta send me something to my front door..like 2 Ferraris or [something]!” Davis wrote on social media.
“Like before I even think about going over there,” Davis added.
Alalshikh was asked by MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani if the Saudis still wanted to promote a fight with Davis, and Alalshikh brought up the boxer’s “two Ferraris” comment.
“I heard Davis said, ‘Send to me two Ferraris.’ I say to him – we will send you two gloves if you want, that’s it.”
Davis saw Alalshikh’s comment and fired back.

Davis is probably right, considering he made tens of millions of dollars for his last fight against Ryan Garcia
