When Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis SHOCKED London - EPIC Micheal Jackson Ring Entrance (4K)
Gervonta Davis was an established world champion but still to emerge from the shadow cast by Floyd Mayweather when he flew to London to defend his IBF super-featherweight title against Liam Walsh in May 2017.
BT Sport’s then-recent investment in boxing and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions had contributed to the move to showcase not only one of the world’s most exciting young fighters but, in his mentor Mayweather - then still an active fighter - one of the world’s very biggest names.
Walsh, then 31 and in his prime, had built his reputation when, in not dissimilar circumstances, in 2011 he defeated Paul Appleby in an exciting fight to launch the often-missed BoxNation. He had since continued to improve into a world-level fighter and, at a time when Davis was yet to truly be tested, was widely considered capable of either dethroning him or, in the event of defeat, proving that he was the real thing.
When Davis and Mayweather first flew to London to promote the upcoming fight at the Copper Box Arena, Mayweather, inevitably, had other commitments to fulfil. One involved him charging fans £100 for photos at a speaking engagement having showed up late after prioritising extra sleep. At another date the van his team used was set alight; he was also interviewed by Rio Ferdinand for BT Sport.
Come fight week Davis cut a quiet figure while Mayweather, partly owing to a spat with the composed Walsh, continued to dominate what was unfolding. It was on fight night at the Copper Box that Davis, indifferent to the hostile atmosphere created by the Cromer-based Walsh’s fans, instead finally outshone his attention-seeking promoter by walking to the ring dressed like Michael Jackson and to the strains of Beat It, and then by so clinically stopping Walsh in under three rounds.
Much respect to Gervonte for showing respect to the king of pop music.
Paying homage to the King of Pop. I love it.
abdullah is town
Gervonta ❤ I loved this moment. So proud of you showing much love to the King of Pop MJ. He would have been Thrilled 💯 🥰😁
Jesus loves you!

@@user-ff8gl5lr7e I believe your saying it's been 5 years. Andddd. I just seen this. That doesn't matter. 👀✌🏽🙃
Or maybe he would just beat it
I'm so proud of tank for this . I've been watching tank since he first went professional. He inspired me to get off the couch and internet and join a boxing club and train even though I'm 41 and just focused on being fit and learning how to box . Like tank , any boxer who has developed the skills and put in the hard work deserves to put on a show like this .
Never too old to get into better shape, learn/improve skills and having fun!
Keep it up man, Sux they closed down the only boxing gym in my town after COVID
Love that courage man Keep it up ❤
Pp😂 ❤ ❤
Facts 💯
No rapper, no singer can even come close to the King of Pop ❤💥❤️🔥
Facts!
After what happened to Macaulay Culkin I wouldn't want to get close to him either😂😂😂 #NODIDDY
Or boxer....
100% True maybe Jay Z in music and Muhammad Ali might be whats close 🤷🏾♂️
@maxfrisket best ring walk of all time to me is Mike Tyson and Dmx.
The intro was just wow❤
The UK has the US beat in the boxing arena production and entertainment department. They go all out for their fighters.
Right ❤
Can't beat it!
Got to respect the Tank son 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
No we don't
@@jameshodge6238Of course the pasteys don't 😂
I am from the U.K and I love tank. Great ambassador for the sport.
@Jazz-on4sc absolutely 💯 you are right 😂😂😂
I had no clue he did this😂😂😂😂
Sound like a casual lol
Lol this before the world knew of him to hate the goat that he is now
If you know you know I been watching tank I started watching Spence when al Haymon still had him fighting outside ring events
Me either
Casual the dude is really good and fought some good competition but don’t get no credit just like they did Floyd but he humble not arrogant and he packing power and skill The we’re gonna have to watch him do what he do while they hope for him to lose but you’ll see
I'm getting ready for my first boxing match in April 2024, I can't wait!
Good luck 🤞
Good luck girl
Davis nation !!!!!
Woow
🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳
Gervonta always so humble en F everybody up in the ring. Love this guy.
Gervonta is living his life having fun😎🔥
This was a "Thriller" walk out and no one will "Beat it"
Like Micheal "beat" those cases.
@@johnhatchel9681yeah he beat the cases because it was the industry elites trying to destroy him over his knowledge and power he had over sony. When they couldn't convict him they just mu*dered him.
Jesus loves you, God Bless✝️
Entrance 🥶🔥🔥
FIRE 🔥 UNIQUE ENTRANCE
do you even know what unique means?
I've seen Jorge Arce get into the ring riding a horse with a cowboy hat
@@danielyepez5421 L 🤣 L my guess is 'No'....
My boa came out banging MIKE! He uhh Dogg!!😂💪🏽
I remember this fight, I was also 22 like Tank. Around that time I saw Tank for the first time and I think this fight or earlier I was starting to following Tanks boxing career till this day. Damn, time flies so fast, I think afterwards.
Did he win
@@Thickwititno he lost but he's 29-0 with 27 KOs but no he didn't win.
They said he won
Yoooo, I've been looking for this entrance for so many years! Thank you for sharing this. I always remembered how dope it was. A nice tribute to MJ.
Respect to the King of Pop, MJ.
Respect to King of M olesters!
@@johnhatchel9681 I love the fact that we’re all entitled to our own opinions! I love this country!
Even the ring announcer was pumped 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gervonta is one of the most spectacular and talented boxers of our time.☝️👍👋👋👋Good Luck to him.🙏🙏🙏
Have you watched Terence Crawford? He's amazing!!! I like Tank too though.
@@GetCraftyLemons I'm shocked by Terence, this is the greatest boxer, how he thinks, what technique, this is unique..☝️👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
@@fedorguzairov3929 Yes indeed!!! He is so incredible!!
The way the camera angle presented Tank’s face & the music at 1:18 was epic! 🔥🔥🔥
Clean sharp as a blade
Had homie lloking like the demon from the movie Jeepers Creepers😂😂
I was there at Stratford and I became an instant fan when I saw Davis fight. You could see he was a champion in the making!
That was awesome! He a live performance version playing.
Ain't nobody F*KN WITH BIG BRO TANK 🥊🥊 🏆!!
He wont fight anyone lol
@@mart14kthat’s cause there not good enough to fight

Pittbull cruz
Big bro ? 🤣🤦🏾
Walsh was just ANOTHER British level.
Tank should have another fight in the UK!
It will be a whole different stage now if he does, o2 Arena or Wembley stadium. The British crowd bring a crazy atmosphere. Question is who would he fight?
The king of Pop reigns @ MJ ❤
This intro was absolutely awesome and beat it is still one of the all time great songs.

Tank Davis is truly blessed! Size doesn’t matter to him! He’s a hard puncher!
Gervonta is so fast! Fantastic to watch him in action
Floyd got that Hella jacket on
Reginald McDonald said God bless you and keep up the great work out there coming from Jackson Ms and we love y'all out there ❤️🙏🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
Man came like MJ
Why Floyd can't just play the background. Gotta be seen, let your fighters shine.
Ok it’ gone be Suge Knight out there while Floyd out there showing up lil P Diddy 😂 😂
As if the entrance wasn't enough intimidation already...😅 Floyd pops out in Walsh face like a duck swanning around 😅
