Jake Paul confirms upcoming Netflix boxing match with Mike Tyson, rejects brother Logan Paul’s claims

Gervonta Davis has now taken to social media and shown exactly how much money Eddie Hearn offered him to fight Conor Benn next.

Earlier this month, the two boxers welcomed a transatlantic showdown as they exchanged trash talk online.

This resulted in Benn’s promoter Hearn sending an official offer to one of Tank’s representatives.

However, a fight between them has not materialised and Hearn said he was told the offer was ‘insulting’.

This week it emerged that Davis has now agreed a deal to face Frank Martin next instead, and will be staying with Al Haymon’s PBC.

And in the early hours of Saturday morning, the American dismissed claims that he turned down $25million to fight Benn by publicly revealing Hearn’s offer.

In the email to Davis’ rep, Hearn wrote: “Gervonta asked me to contact you regarding our offer to fight Conor Benn.

“We would like to talk further regarding this fight and our plan would be to stage this fight in May in the USA.

“We would offer $10million plus an upside on the gate and PPV that I would like to discuss further with you.

“Do you have a good time to discuss this week? Kind regards, Eddie.”

In short, Hearn’s offer consisted of a guaranteed $10million purse, plus a percentage of the money generated from PPV sales and ticket sales.

However, there are few fights out there for Davis that will prove as lucrative as the Garcia showdown was, and he will certainly be taking a pay cut when he faces Martin.

Benn reacted to Davis leaking the offer by tweeting: “Clearly Gerv-umpalumpa doesn’t know what upside means. Stick to fighting women. All talk, no smoke @Gervontaa.”

Davis replied: “U will beat the dog s*** outta you, we all know this! I was just trying to be good for the sport and beat ya ass in ya home town but the spoon fed white boy keep trying to cheat me outta my f***ing money bitch.”

Davis concluded: “Too late dummy, what y’all people don’t understand [is] I DON’T NEED Y’ALL.”

The English promoter said that ‘Tank’ could have made over $10 million to face his rising contender this summer

Talk of Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ next opponent being Conor Benn has already fizzled. According to Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, Davis turned down a lucrative offer to make the fight happen.

After Benn’s win over Peter Dobson earlier this month, Davis and Benn traded words on social media. The two sides seemed to agree to enter into negotiations for a fight, but Hearn said Davis “didn’t really want to discuss” the offer that was made.

“We made him an offer, which he felt he didn’t want to discuss further,” Hearn told iFL TV. “…It was over the $10 [million guaranteed] but it also had PPV bonuses beyond that, gate bonuses beyond that. So it could’ve been $20 million, could’ve been $25 million. But he didn’t really want to discuss it.

“I made him an offer that I felt was an offer that was quite powerful for the fight and could also lead to a lot more than that beyond the basic but, you know…I think he probably doesn’t really understand the dynamic of the deal, the numbers. I might go back.”

Benn is still waiting on the results of his recent hearing with the British Boxing Board of Control in regards to his failed drug tests ahead of his planned 2023 fight with Chris Eubanks Jr.

Hearn said that the team has pivoted to several other opponents for Benn for a fight that he hopes will take place in the U.K., assuming the results of the BBBofC hearing go their way. Among those opponents is former junior welterweight and welterweight champion Danny Garcia.

“Danny Garcia reached out to our team to talk to me directly, and I’ll be talking to him this week,” Hearn said. “I love the fight with Danny Garcia, the USA or the UK. Like I said, four or five names, and he’s definitely in the mix.”

Garcia’s most recent fight came in July 2022 when he defeated Jose Benavidez Jr. That is Garcia’s only fight since the end of 2020.

Davis has not fought since knocking out Ryan Garcia in April 2023. In May, Davis was sentenced to 90 days house arrest and three years probation for a 2021 hit-and-run incident. He violated the terms of his house arrest and served the remainder of his 90 days in jail before being released on July 14.

While Davis has become one of the primary faces of boxing, he has not faced a deep roster of opponents and should be looking to parlay his fame into big fights. With Benn off the table, options are seemingly running thin for top-tier opponents who would be available for a summer date with Davis.

• It appears Jaron “Boots” Ennis is set to defend his IBF welterweight championship against mandatory challenger Cody Crowley with the target date for the fight to take place on the undercard of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s next PBC pay-per-view. Ennis has long been calling for a fight with Terence Crawford and also was interested in a fight with Mario Barrios, but the IBF order leaves him with no choice for his next outing if he wants to remain champion. There are, of course, some sticking points remaining for the plan, including Alvarez needing an opponent and a date to get the card together and that happening amid rumors that Alvarez and PBC could be on the outs.

• Things between Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall are heating up before their rematch on April 27. In addition to trading words, the two nearly brawled at a recent media event.
• WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman is no stranger to strange ideas, but he took things to a new level when discussing the upcoming fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion, suggesting the fight be scored by five or six judges, rather than the standard three. “That is my recommendation. We will see,” Sulaiman told Sky Sports. “Boxing is a sport in which change is very difficult to get. We’re purists, traditionalists, we don’t want changes. I will continue to make the proposal. Some like the idea, some of the people in the decision-making process. We will see.”

There have been many great fighters over the years, but very few have had as much impact as Gervonta Davis. His undefeated record is evidence of his skills. Davis has not fought since he defeated Ryan Garcia in April last year. While he did have an offer to fight Devin Haney, Tank rejected the offer, claiming to want at least a few Ferraris from the Saudis as a gift for making the fight.

However, after Conor Benn defeated Peter Dobson earlier this month, Davis responded to Benn and asked him to make him an offer for a fight. Eddie Hearn, elated by the discourse, even sent Tank an offer worth about $15 million dollars. But it seems now that their fight will not be taking place. Let us find out why.

Boxing reporter, Michael Benson revealed some important news regarding the matter. Benson wrote, “Eddie Hearn has revealed that Gervonta Davis has not accepted their offer for the Conor Benn fight as things stand,”. According to Benson, Hearn has revealed that Davis has rejected their fight offer for Conor Benn. While the reasons remain unknown, it is sad that the two will not be fighting.

Benson proceeded by adding, “So they are now in talks with Danny Garcia, as well as four/five other potential opponents for Benn’s next fight,” revealing that Hearn has talked of a plausible fight against Danny Garcia and many other fighters for Conor Benn. Considering Benn’s notoriety, Ring Magazine’s trainer of the year, Bob Santos put his thoughts on Conor Benn, fighting his pupil, Mario Barrios.

Mario Barrios, the WBC World Interim welterweight champion, was called out by Conor Benn. Bob Santos, his trainer, gave his thoughts on the matter. Bob Santos believes that Conor Benn vs. Mario Barrios will be a challenging bout, possibly even more so than Conor Benn vs. IBF welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.

“Either fight would be a difficult fight, but that is what Mario Barrios has always been about. He has been about challenges,” said Santos. He proceeded to say, “One thing I like about Mario Barrios is he is a guy who never made excuses.” Santos believes it will be a challenging fight for both opponents. However, it remains to be seen if a fight between the two will in fact happen.

Do you think Gervonta Davis had a specific reason for rejecting the offer against Conor Benn?
