“I wouldn’t mind knocking out Gervonta Davis, I’m telling you that fight is going to happen…I would love to go out there and box him…I don’t know if he’s a big enough star for the UFC to let that happen, but it’ll happen.”
Boxing reporter Elie Seckbach caught up with Gervonta Davis’ coaches, Calvin Ford and Kenny Ellis, and asked them about O’Malley’s comments.
Coach Ford had no idea who O’Malley was, while Ellis fired at the UFC superstar.
“Tank gonna whoop his a–, in the first round. Any tiny lightweight would beat him, Tank, Shakur, Haney, all those guys would beat him cause they’re boxers. All of them would knock him out.
“You better leave those boxers alone before you get knocked out.”
