Saturday (January 7) was an eventful night in the boxing world. An entertaining fight card, with undefeated Gervonta Davis fighting in the main event, took place in Washington, D.C.

Although, there was some commotion occurring within the crowd during the main event as well. Meek Mill was in attendance to support his friend, “Tank” Davis. Former WBC featherweight Gary Russell Jr was also there, sitting close to the Philadelphia rapper.

However, Russell was there in order to show support for Davis’ opponent, Hector Luis Garcia. Davis and the former champion have formerly beefed. As a result, it seems as though the “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper and Russell are responsible for firing off some choice words for each other.

The two, along with their crews, subsequently stirred up an altercation. In the footage, the pair of attendees’ can be seen shoving each other and yelling at one another. One of the referees even had to pause the fight in the ring in order to address the commotion in the crowd. Thankfully, it didn’t escalate beyond a shoving and yelling match.

Meek has since taken to his Twitter account to defend himself. “I would never let no petty sh*t escalate to let somebody movie run …. I just walked away ..” says the Philadelphia native. He says, “I came to support tank and boots!!!!!! Good wins.”

“I was nice to everybody at that fight if you was there you saw! The blogs gone put up the aggressive part after I respond to something aggressive … everybody in that section seen my level of respect towards others… i just gotta step my response game up!” he continues afterwards.

Jake Paul Reacts To Rumors Of $2.5 Million Fight With Tommy Fury

by

After a long time spent asking, it seems Jake Paul took things a step further to get Tommy Fury to fight him. Moreover, rumors had spread around the Internet that he offered Fury $2.5 million for a fight, after a few failed attempts. Recently, the Paul brother took to Twitter to make a cheeky statement concerning the boxer.

“I cannot confirm nor deny this accurate statement,” he wrote. “What I can confirm is Tommy Fury is never going to see the kind of money he is being offered to step in the ring with me. And yet he’s still on the run.”

Readers likely remember that the last we heard from the two was a four-round knockout prediction from the British star. While this kind of money would probably entice most to fight, Fury has bailed out before. When he tapped out the first time, it was due to injury, and later had issues getting into the country.

Regardless, fans disagreed on the fight’s prospects and whether Fury should even engage. “It is wrong Jake Paul is the biggest name in boxing,” wrote one user on Twitter. “The sport should be ashamed. But fair play to the guy. Its no accident he’s at the top.”

Even with boxing purists shaking their fists at the podcaster and vlogger, they give him credit for the hustle. Also, he recently partnered with the Cleveland Browns as a member of their social media team. While boxing may be his main endeavor, he’s seeking a bag with everything he does.

Many respect that grind, even if seeing his name in Twitter replies can get exhausting. “Honestly think there’s just too much at stake for him,” said a faithful tweeter about Fury. “He can’t possibly bear losing to YouTuber Jake Paul. Forget the money, he could never look his dad and Tyson in the eyes again. He doesn’t want to take the risk.”

Still, what do you think of Jake Paul’s jabs at Tommy Fury and him putting up $2.5 million on this fight? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on this showdown.

Immediately after this went down, Davis was let go on bail. He eventually went home and attempted to clear his name. For instance, he spoke about how he would never put his hands on the mother of his children. Davis was very adamant about this, and overall, he was able to gain support from his fans.

Gervonta Davis To Seek Counseling

According to an Instagram story from Gervonta Davis’ baby mother Vanessa Posso, he never actually hurt anyone. Posso claims she made the call to the police during a heated verbal altercation. Needless to say, it seems as though Davis is innocent in all of this. However, it still remains to be seen what will happen with the charges.

Furthermore, Posso has stated that she and Davis will now be seeking counseling so they can properly co-parent their child. Overall, they don’t want to continue fighting like this as there is clearly some toxicity present. Hopefully, they are able to resolve this peacefully.

In addition to all of this, we reported yesterday on how Posso allegedly put feces on Davis’ toothbrushes. This was an incredibly disgusting act, and if true, is certainly a red flag. Davis appeared to be quite shaken up about this, just as any person would be.

This remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the boxing world. Additionally, let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments below.

Mills Lane Had An Amazing Resume

During his career, Lane got to officiate some truly memorable fights. Of course, the most iconic is the match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. This is where Tyson ended up biting Holyfield’s ear off in a truly gross display of aggression.

While speaking about his father to ESPN, Terry Lane revealed just how amazing of a father Mills was. He spoke about his dad’s soft side and that people truly looked up to him and respected him.

“The past 20 years after the stroke were pretty tough, to be honest,” Lane said. “… We’re relieved of the outpouring of support. He was just this really amazing father and husband and I don’t know if people got to see that kind and sensitive side of him. My mom took care of him since the stroke; he never spent one night in a nursing home. I don’t know if Dec. 6 is my dad’s date of death or a new life for her.”
