After refusing $20 million last year, the Saudis have offered a lucrative opportunity for Davis and Haney to get in the ring and put an end to the debate of who is the best. However, the stars don’t seem to be aligned the right way, as nothing has come out of it yet. Resulting in ‘Tank’ receiving hate from the community, so the 29-year-old had something to say through his Instagram post.

A right swipe away, ‘Tank’ had a message for his haters. He wrote, “I come out on top and escape s**t. I cannot be sitting ’round stressed. Even when I’m down, I know how to play it.”

Fans demand to know the fight date

The responses to the post ranged from questions about his return to the ring to comparisons with Devin Haney. One user demanded Davis to announce his next fight. “Announce your next f**ken fight already,” wrote the user. While a fight with Haney is possible, no one is sure if Davis would take up a difficult fight after being out of the ring for eight months at this point.

Another user questioned Davis about an ankle monitor. The user wrote, “Ankle monitor?” Davis is currently serving his prohibition, stemming from a guilty plea regarding his November 2020 car crash that injured four people.

Someone else revealed they were looking for a fight date, swiping through the images Davis shared. “Me swiping through the thread fast af thinking it’s a date in there somewhere,” wrote the user. There obviously wasn’t a date in there, resulting in more wait for the fan.

One devoted fan boldly declared Davis was better than Devin Haney. “Better than devin haney,” wrote the user. 

After Davis expressed his thoughts and emotions through the Instagram post, some fans were left excited while others – not so much. What did you think of the post?
