Ryan Garcia Seemingly Questions Abdul Wahid’s Sexuality

by

Ryan Garcia has taken shots at Abdul Wahid, formerly known as Gervonta Davis, for a post the latter made on social media. Taken from Wahid’s Instagram, the image appears to show Wahid hugging a friend from behind as the friend makes a kissing face at Wahid. “I love my brothas” can be seen as a caption to the image. “WTF Abdul” Garcia added in a screenshot he posted to his own Instagram story. A number of people have alleged the other person in the image is Adrien Broner.

Of course, there is no love lost between Garcia and Wahid. Wahid soundly beat Garcia last year. However, comments from Wahid in recent days appear to indicate that he would be open to a rematch. That is a fight that Garcia has been hoping for since his defeat. “Obviously I’m disappointed. I tried my best but he caught me with a good body shot. I’ll come back stronger and yeah man, one day…rack up a couple wins and maybe we could do a rematch at maybe 140, 147,” Garcia said immediately after their fight.

Ryan Garcia Threatens To Drop Devin Haney Fight Over “Satanic” PRIME Sponsorship, Makes Bizarre Claim About Knowing Who “Killed 2Pac”

Elsewhere, Garcia has threatened to drop out of his fights against Devin Haney after his opponent accepted a sponsorship with PRIME. “Does not surprise me Who else would satan support other then Devil Haney. More confirmation. Yall support this I’m out. Kids are in danger from drinking this “allegedly”,” Garcia wrote in response to the sponsorship announcement. PRIME, the high-caffeine energy drink owned by Logan Paul and KSI, came under intense scrutiny last year. Several children were reported to have suffered heart attacks after consuming the beverage. Then illegal distribution in Canada led to the country banning the product.

Furthermore, Garcia’s post came after a string of posts that appeared to go against his promise to only tweet about his April 20 fight with Haney. This included a bizarre post about one of the biggest hip hop conspiracies of all time. “Would you believe me if I told you I know for a fact who killed Tupac, a lot of yall know the answer but I can prove it,” Garcia wrote on X. Duane “Keefe D” Davis is currently awaiting trial for his alleged role in Tupac’s murder. However, conspiracy theories have long connected Diddy to the case, amongst others.

Gervonta Davis Changes Name After Conversion To Islam

by

Gervonta Davis has changed his name to Abdul Wahid following his recent conversion to Islam. Directly translated, the name means “Servant [of the] Absolute One” or “Servant [of] Allah”. Wahid converted to Islam last week, formalizing his conversation on December 24. He joins the ranks of a number of high-profile Muslim boxers currently fighting. Devin Haney is also an active follower of Islam.

Wahid said he chose to convert in order to further his personal faith journey. It has been a tough year for the boxer. Earlier in the year, he spent 42 days in jail for his 2021 hit-and-run conviction. Wahid had initially served his sentence under house arrest. However, he was remanded to a jail cell after a judge objected to the conditions of his house arrest. As a result, Wahid hasn’t fought since he defeated Ryan Garcia in April. His next fight is unknown at this time.

Abdul Wahid Speaks On Potential Naoya Inoue Fight

Meanwhile, Wahid recently addressed fans clamoring for him to fight two-division undisputed champion Naoya Inoue. “I’m not fighting him. He’s NOWHERE near my weight. [I don’t know] why this page keep posting sh-t like this,” Wahid said in response to a fan-made poster hyping a fight between the pair. Nicknamed “The Monster”, Inoue has made a name for himself as a generational talent at the bantamweight and super-bantamweight divisions. He is currently 26-0 after unifying the super-bantamweight title in a fight against Marlon Tapales.

However, Waid currently fights at a minimum of lightweight, two divisions higher than super-bantamweight. That would mean a massive jump for Inoue to make to be on the same weight level as Wahid. This is more of a case of fans simply wanting to put two generational talents into the same ring, regardless of the logistical obstacles. Who would you like to see Wahid fight next year? Let us know in the comments.

In the mindset of two great boxing champions who came before him, undefeated B-More native Gervonta Davis has taken his Shahadah, therefore converting to the religion of Islam. Video footage of Davis taking his Shahadah has surfaced while criticism has already been given to the boxer for the Islamic name he has now chosen for himself.

Just as famous Muslim converts Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar chose new names along with their new religion, Davis has chosen the name Abdul Wahid, which means “slave to The One”. Imam Hasan Somali disclosed Davis’s Muslim name, explaining, “The attribute that he chose, the name that he chose as a Muslim, is Abdul Wahid. It means the servant of the One, from the names of Allah, the name of God, which is Al Wahid.”

It is not confirmed if he will continue to fight under the name Davis or his newly received name. Other athletes such as Kyrie Irving and Mike Tyson continued to use their given names in public after their conversion to the most practiced religion on the planet.
