Gervonta Davis’ cryptic message could be an unexpected dig on Floyd Mayweather’s birthday
Davis’ post could’ve been aimed at his old coach

Mayweather and Gervonta during better days
On February 24, 2025, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. celebrated his 48th birthday and, while the occasion was filled with tributes and messages from fans and celebrities, one post stood out. That was in the form of a cryptic message from none other than his former protégé, Gervonta “Tank” Davis, which has fueled further speculation about their fractured relationship.
Davis, a former Mayweather Promotions fighter, posted a training video on social media, accompanied by a caption that read: “Life is better when you’re gone and I don’t need ya… #TheONE.” The timing of the message, coinciding with Mayweather‘s birthday, immediately raised eyebrows, with many interpreting it as a subtle but pointed jab at the undefeated boxing icon.
The tension between Mayweather and Davis has been well-documented. The two had a public falling-out after Davis left Mayweather Promotions in 2022, despite initially being groomed as the next big superstar under Mayweather‘s guidance. Their relationship worsened in 2023 when Davis claimed he was banned from Mayweather’s gym while preparing for his fight against Ryan Garcia. Further controversy arose when Davis accused Mayweather of mishandling financial matters regarding a Dubai event.

Mayweather, for his part, has not remained silent. Shortly after Davis‘ post, he shared an old sparring video featuring Davis and Devin Haney, which some viewed as an attempt to undermine Davis’ credibility.
With Davis now focused on his upcoming fight against Lamont Roach Jr. on March 1, the boxing world remains intrigued by this ongoing feud. Whether Davis’ post was intentional or merely coincidental, it has certainly added another layer of drama to one of boxing’s most complicated mentor-protégé relationships.
