Gervonta Davis’ punching power was proved once again when he took on the punch machine challenge.

The hard-hitting 5ft 5ins unbeaten American boxing star has a stunning record of 29-0 (27 KOs) – which gives him a 93 per cent knockout ratio.

His next fight looks set to be against Frank Martin on June 15, and fans will be expecting another KO.

And it’s easy to see why when you look back to Tank’s history of proving his power.

Prior to Deontay Wilder vs Dominic Breazeale in 2019, both heavyweights made separate appearances on the Inside PBC Boxing show to give interviews and test their strength on the punch machine.

Coincidentally, a young Davis was on the same programme as Breazeale and so also had a go at the challenge.

Wilder sent a rhyming video message to the pair before the show began and challenged them both to beat his high score of 927, that he previously set with his weaker left hand.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t Gervonta Davis and Dominic Breazeale,” Wilder said, “Welcome fellas to a place where we will test your will.

“The bag that is placed before you will test your power and your skill.

“When I did it, I calculated a whopping 927.

“And that was only with my left hand, so imagine if I touch either of your chins, you’re bound to go to heaven.

He scored an incredible 939 and then realised he’d surpassed Wilder: “I beat him!”

Next came Breazeale who was only able to register a score of 889, despite holding a huge size advantage over Tank.

Joshua took the punch machine challenge during an appearance on the Graham Norton show in 2017.
