Imagine the outcry if Gervonta “Tank” Davis backed out of a fight with Vasiliy Lomachenko because he simply wasn’t “in the mood” to fight Loma.
Some boxing fans and media would be outraged, condemning Tank and proclaiming him a fraud.
Recently, Lomachenko’s manager explained that Loma wasn’t interested in fighting and wanted to take time off to spend with his family.
There are noticeable double standards in boxing, especially when it comes to white fighters, where if roles were reversed, Davis would be criticized for cowardice.
It’s important to hold everyone equally accountable for their actions and behavior in the sport.
