Kai Cenat Demands Adin Ross Pay Up $10K Over Gervonta Davis & Ryan Garcia Bet

by

The matchup between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia was one of the most exciting and hyped boxing displays of the year, bringing in all corners of pop culture. Even Jay-Z popped up to narrate a promo video for Tank. However, when it comes to the world of streaming, this fight caused a potential conflict between two of its biggest stars. Kai Cenat recently clowned Adin Ross after Davis’ victory, demanding his $10K from a bet they made. Unfortunately for Cenat, it seems like he won’t budge on that cash anytime soon, as he feels “robbed.”

“Adin! I need my money!” the biggest Twitch streamer in the world exclaimed from his seats to the match. “I need my ten thousand Adin, I need it!” Then, in a video published by Ross, who himself is a massive streamer, he had some bad news for Kai. “Yo, Kai, I’m scamming you,” he said with a serious look on his face. “Come get your money back, bro, I don’t care. I’m mad as f**k. I got robbed. He didn’t really get knocked out, it was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m scamming you, a hundred thousand percent. I’m not even joking, bro, you’re scammed. You got scammed, bro.”

Kai Cenat Won Bet With Adin Ross, And He Wants His $10K

After this exchange, it will be interesting to see how much of this is in-the-moment anger or legitimate dodging. Of course, Adin Ross is no stranger to controversy, especially when it comes to streaming. While he no longer works with Twitch, his blasted support of Andrew Tate and other actions led public favor towards him to sour. That being said, he recently opened up about his opioid addiction, which is a much larger obstacle to overcome and one that fans should show sympathy and concern for no matter his statements.

Meanwhile, Kai Cenat recently got banned on Twitch for reportedly “repeated explicit simulated sexual activity in GTA.” While this is probably just one visit too many to the game’s strip club, it’s merely temporary. Hopefully he makes his return soon. When he does, it’s almost a guarantee that he will address this in some fashion, whether from a pure boxing match perspective or to keep demanding his money from Adin. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news on Ryan Garcia, Gervonta Davis, Adin Ross, and Kai Cenat.

Ryan Garcia Hopes For Future Rematch With Gervonta Davis

by

Gervonta Davis versus Ryan Garcia was billed as the fight of 2023. It was something of a unicorn – two undefeated fighters in their prime who fight exclusively on competing PPV networks. Davis, the WBA regular lightweight champion, was 28-0 before the fight and fights exclusively on DAZN. Garcia, a former interim champion in the same class, was 23-0 and fights exclusively on Showtime. But, to the delight of many, the two would face off in a non-title match in Vegas.

Titled It Doesn’t Get Better Than This, the fight pitted two brutal fighters against one another. The bout would end in a knockout, that was for certain, Davis is a knockout specialist, having finished 26 of 28 fights in that manner. Meanwhile, Garcia has become famous for his devastating left hook. The fight was massively hyped, with wild wagers, jaw-breaking promises, and a Jay-Z-narrated fight video.

Garcia Concedes Defeat But Promises Comeback

However, the fight was much more reserved than some fans may have expected. There were hard hits, yes, but both fighters fought strategically, waiting for the perfect time to strike. That moment came in the seventh round, as Davis found a chink in the armor and delivered a brutal liver shot. Garcia sunk to one knee and while Davis thought he was playing “mind games”, Garcia was eventually counted out. It was the second knockdown that Davis had delivered during the fight but it was the one Garcia couldn’t come back from.

Taking to Instagram after the fight, Garcia graciously accepted defeat. “Obviously I’m disappointed. I tried my best but he caught me with a good body shot.” Garcia began. However, he vowed that he was far from done. “I’ll come back stronger and yeah man, one day
wrack up a couple wins and maybe we could do a rematch at maybe 140, 147.” However, in separate interviews, Garcia said his immediate goal was to add weight and return to his traditional class of junior welterweight. “I plan to fight the best fighters at 140 [pounds],” Garcia told reporters. The fight contract does contain a rematch clause, but only a loss by Davis would have triggered an immediate rematch plan. However, Davis is currently due to be sentenced for his involvement in a 2020 hit-and-run that injured four people.

Gervonta Davis And Ryan Garcia Make Another Bold Promise

by

Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia have already taken numerous steps in ensuring that their April 22 bout is going to be the boxing event of the year. The catchweight fight, which pits the reigning WBA lightweight champion against the former interim WBA champion, is already set to be a star-studded Vegas affair. The fight features two undefeated boxers and has the feel of a title fight, despite no belt being on the line.

But Davis and Garcia have also gone out of their way to make the spectacle as hype as possible. Last week, the fighters agreed to make it an all-or-nothing bout. Both will wager their purse on the result, meaning the fight immediately became a winner-takes-all affair. Now, just over 24 hours before the bell rings, they have once again made headlines.

Davis And Garia Vow To Break Each Other’s Jaw

Both fighters spoke to ESPN after their public press conference. Garcia (23-0) envisioned silencing the sold-out crowd at T-Mobile Arena. “I see him getting caught with a left hook, just slept – goodnight,” Garcia said, “One of the most brutal knockouts you’ve seen in many years. And the whole crowd’s just going to go silent and we’re all going to have to take a knee. I see that. Seriously.” Additionally, Garcia is barely speaking hyperbolically. While he has only finished nine of his 23 career fights via knockout, his devastating left hook has become his signature. This includes his last fight in July 2022 against Javier Fortuna.

However, Davis was undeterred by the 24-year-old’s bravado. “All he talks about is that one punch. I only need one, too. I touch that jaw and I’m telling you: you’re going to sleep. I’m going to break your jaw, I promise you. Don’t even bring your mother or your daughter.” Furthermore, Davis has a resume to back up his comment. Davis is a knockout specialist, finishing 26 of 28 fights through KO. Despite the barbs, we will have to wait until Saturday night to find out which of these powerhouse fighters will come out on top. Davis v Garcia: It Doesn’t Get Better Than This is set to start 8pm EDT on April 22.

Gervonta Davis & Ryan Garcia Make Massive Wager

by

Gervonta Davis is one of the best boxers in the entire world right now. Overall, there are people out there who compare him to the likes of Floyd Mayweather. This is an apt comparison when you think about how they fight. Moreover, Davis is still undefeated and it feels like there aren’t a lot of people out there who could actually beat him. However, Ryan Garcia probably has the best shot of actually doing it. The two are set to fight on April 22nd, which is this Saturday, and it should be a match for the ages.

Heading into this fight, these two have had a whole lot of animosity toward one another. It is very obvious that they do not like each other, which is perfectly normal and okay. In fact, it is only going to improve the quality of boxing we see in the ring. Although many are saying Davis is the clear favorite, it will be hard to count Garcia out of this one. Last night, the two got to talk to each other on a Kai Cenat live stream, and it led to a pretty interesting wager that has massive financial implications.

Gervonta Davis Vs. Ryan Garcia Gets More Interesting

In the clip above, Garcia suggests that they should wager the entire purse of their fight. Whoever wins the match will get all of the money. Overall, this is a very bold suggestion, especially coming from the underdog. Although, Kai Cenat and Gervonta Davis seem pretty happy with the wager. Davis has all of the confidence in the world right now, and so does Garcia apparently. Either way, the fight just got a lot more interesting, and there is even more reason to watch now.

Whether or not Garcia will be eating crow, remains to be seen. Additionally, there is no guarantee that he even signs the contract which makes the wager official. This is one of those tools that can be used to draw attention to the fight. However, it doesn’t mean something will actually get signed. Let us know who you believe will win the fight, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.
