Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney escalate personal feud

The ongoing rivalry between professional boxers Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney escalated on Sunday following online rumors regarding the death of Haney’s mother. Davis used his Instagram account to post taunts directed at Haney, including a now-deleted message stating, “Crazy how buddy talked about my mom only for his mom to check a few weeks later.” Davis also shared a deleted photo of Haney’s mother with a caption suggesting she had “went to sleep.”

This exchange follows a series of personal insults exchanged between the two athletes. Previously, Davis had made accusations regarding Haney’s mother via a rumored burner account on X. Haney responded to the tension by posting a photo of Davis and his own mother on Father’s Day, accompanied by comments regarding Davis’s personal life and financial status.

While boxing fans have frequently called for a match between the two champions, the camps have not reached an agreement. Disagreements regarding the weight class for a potential bout remain a significant hurdle to a scheduled fight.
