Gervonta “Tank” Davis has never been one to shy away from making bold statements, but his latest claim has taken the boxing world by storm.

In a recent interview, the undefeated lightweight champion made the audacious declaration that he could knock out the legendary Mike Tyson in just 10 minutes, even going as far as challenging “Iron Mike” to prove him wrong.

“I’m stronger than Mike Tyson, and I could take him down in 10 minutes,” Davis said with full confidence. “People forget, this is a new era, and I’ve got the skills and power to back it up. I respect Mike, but if we were in the ring, I’d show him what real knockout power is.”

Davis’s comments have sparked immediate reactions across social media, with fans and analysts weighing in on the hypothetical showdown between the young powerhouse and the iconic heavyweight. While many recognize Davis’s knockout prowess, comparing him to a prime Tyson — known for his devastating power and lightning-fast knockouts in the 80s and 90s — has raised eyebrows.

Tyson, who is now in his late 50s but has remained active in the boxing scene through exhibitions and training, has yet to respond to Davis’s challenge. However, those familiar with Tyson’s ferocious competitive spirit wouldn’t be surprised if he issued a response, either playfully or with his signature intensity.

The challenge has quickly become a hot topic of discussion in the boxing community, with some eagerly imagining what a clash between the two fighters might look like. While a Davis-Tyson match is unlikely to materialize, the bold claim has certainly added fuel to Davis’s growing reputation as a fighter unafraid of controversy — or confrontation.
