CRAZY Gervonta Davis Story: "I Slept Outside The Gym"
Vložit

- Gervonta Davis, also known as "Tank" Davis, shares a motivating childhood story of when he started boxing as kid growing up in Baltimore that motivate you like nothing else. In this clip from my full Gervonta Davis interview, Tank talks about his early days of training, staying focused, disciplined, and how he used to sleep outside of the gym even though the daycare center next door mistook him for a homeless person, a junky, and called the police on him, Tank Davis was not deterred and continued to pursue his passion for boxing. He mentions that at that time, there were many other people who had lost focus and were motivated by money, but for him, it was always about his love for the sport. He emphasizes that his motivation and dedication to training were what led him to become a successful boxer. He serves as an inspiration for those looking for motivation in their training and for those who are passionate about boxing.

Tank " I didn't do it for the money , I did it for the sport " true warrior
Tank is about the sport 💯
Noone boxed for money @ first it was a get away safe haven for alot of black boy's when parents aint around
He do it for the love that’s real..
🤡 what Tank actually said: "I wasn't worrying about the money I was just worrying about he sport." He possibly believes that boxing was in a state that required saving before he started lacing them up professionally... IS HE BOXINGS' SAVIOR? Find out. - Journalist
Bit still won't fight Haney 👀....
The hunger was there as a youngster!! Tank was literally born to be where he is. Respect!!🥊👊🏿
Tank ain’t no youngster anymore he’s 28 should be fighting top tier fighters
@@obitriceforlife5771 who's top tier then? You're going to name like 3 or 4 people and act like the rest of the boxers he fought weren't top tier because they weren't the other 3 or 4 people you see on T.V.
@@obitriceforlife5771 yea, he’s Adonis Creed’s age from the second movie.
I want Tank to win in life at all cost. Dude is real and has that fearless it factor.
Once he pieces up Ryan Garcia he will be a household name. He will then take on Shakur Stevenson in what will be one of the most historic lightweight matches in the history of boxing.
I think a lot of people judge tank by the way he looks and then when they find out what kind of person he is they're all shocked. His humbleness is true
How does he look? I’m truly trying to figure out what do you see that I don’t. I’m from a different environment so I want to see what other eyes see that I dont
@@AppliedPressure493 like a gangster a thug that’s what he looks like but that is not what he is he just grew up in that environment he out the hood but the hood will never be out him he stays humble and real
@@BxingOT.M oh I couldnt see the gangster in him. Most boxers have that sturdy look. He looks like he could be a little bit of everything. LeBron James looks more gangster than him (in my opinion). I just don't see Tank in a gangster light/image. He still has this innocence in his look with a sturdy boxer/athletic look. He does get in trouble though so maybe that is what you are referring to.
@@BxingOT.M He doesn't look like a 'gangster' or 'thug' to me. He looks like a polite mixed dude.
@@AppliedPressure493 You are correct. Tank doesn't look thugish at all.
True grit and grind. U earned and deserve all good things that's coming and came your way champ.
Tank survived and endured a lot. Deserves all the success in the world 💯
💯
He’s my 2nd favorite women beater, 1st is mayweather
@@jacobz2269 boy, uz a 304 😆 🤣
@jacobz2269 what about your dad??? He should be your favorite..
You fought for the love, and that earned you the money. Hard work pay off.
That's the recipe 100%
🔥🔥🔥
This why he won't lose...💪🏿
Fact
Tank i hope you fight to be the greatest and not only the best!
Young G.O.A.T 🐐🐐🐐
This statement alone explains it all …god bless your team and you tank keep it going you have true support
Tank is a good man, based on the conversation we had. He has his faults like all of us do. But he's a good man who survived a lot. I wish him nothing but continued success.
He’s an idol of mine I’d love to meet him that’s actually a bucket list of mine
My brother nick nice Delomba faught Richardson, Hitchens he lost but it was awesome he said he was in the locker room talking with all his team from TMT and tank was in the room at the time he said it was an amazing experience
I’ve been through a lot in my life a lot of what tank explains and talks about were a lot of the struggles and hardships I had too I was a hockey player I did boxing for along time but wanted to to it at a high level but I was focused on pro hockey but he gives me that fire to bring it back and grind Soo what he does means a lot to people esp people that been through the gutter
This is why Tank my favorite he represents struggle he don’t care about the spotlight he’s just having fun and making sure he’s eating and the people around him fed he puts his emotions in the ring and we see that! I respect and salute you champ !
This man had a hard childhood and he still turn out too be a beautiful human bein and the World's greatest lightweight Boxer. Salute🥊
That's why you're the Tank💪🏽
While Haney had his dad drive him to the gym with a pillow and a blanket, Tank was running to the gym sleeping outside until someone came unlocked the door.
That typa grit and determination woo😮💨 … Goodluck Haney, that’s gone be hard to beat ma boy🤷🏾♂️
Pillow and a blanket 😭
@@BrianJRoberts no 🧢
Comfortable with his juice box.
No cappppp
Tank is not letting boxing go he taking that shit they better line up because tank got it on his mind 💯
You talking shit like he's soft cause he had a dad.🤡
HE KNEW WHAT TIME IT WAS. I'M GLAD YOU HAVE A TOUCHING STORY. THIS ALBUM DEDICATED TO THE WOMAN WHO CALLED THE COPS ON ME WHEN I WAS JUST TRYING TO FEED MY DAUGHTER.
BIGGIE
Damn 🔥🔥🔥
Yes sirrr
Explicit lyrics.
😭😭😭😭
Tank is a statistical anomaly and I'm glad to be able to watch his journey
This passed the polygraph, no lie told!
You damn give this kid all the respect he deserved.
Dedication 👍🏽
I already like him cuz he from Maryland but man.....he also got character......GO TANK, YOU are FANTASTIC.
He from Baltimore
Destined to be who you are champ. I admire his grind and humility. He has mastered his craft not only in the sport but the business side also.
Passionate about his work
Which is one of the reason why he is one of the greatest young boxers of this generation. Like he said he didn't care for the money and didn't do it for the money. He did It for the Love of the sport. That right there is definitely good dedication to doing what you like or should I say love. Everything that's good come to this man he absolutely deserve it.
West Baltimore in the Building! Tank is right, the daycare and the Rec but now the Rec is Tank's boxing gym. I played there as a kid
Thanks for the context! Any chance you recall the name of the daycare? May do a documentary on Tank 👀
@@BrianJRoberts it's called Upton daycare Center 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's the Upton Neighborhood west Baltimore but we all say, " we're from the Avenue *
man, whats the rec? I mean is a boxing club?
@@michaelmyers9133 tank"s boxing gym on Pennsylvania Avenue. Before it's was a boxing gym it was a recreation center and we played there as kids. The gym itself was actually a basketball court. We used to even roller skate there on Friday nights
@@cityflynn8045 thanks Man... so Gervonta stil training in Baltimore? whatever the gym is really good, I am interested in whats the price to train there...
Stories like this is why he is destined to make it destined to be great he was hungry at young age to go a step further that gym was providing more than boxing for Tank
During his formative years it meant survival. Great tragedy can beget great success, if one doesn’t succumb to it. Tank is an example (like 50 Cent, who I’ve also interviewed) that you can rise above your circumstances.
We proud of you Tank fr every time you win the whole city feels like we all won 🏆 💪🏾
Love him. I’m from the streets and made it out also. I love that guy.
🙏🏼
Fact that he said he wasn't worried about the money show's coach Calvin been in his corner this whole time taking good care of that man
True bmore warrior
I'm from Baltimore and I love how he represents he is as well true warior.
He was so adorable. I would have taken him to the gym and sat with until the gym opened. He had that it. He is him.
And People still hates my brother beautifull world with ugly people

the fact that someone called the cops instead of helping him is wild. anyone who's been around that gym knows it's rough around there. Tank is 5'6" now. Not sure how they couldn't tell he was a kid when he was in school
His big ass, grown man head.
Racist daycare center in the hood
Hey Tank you're one of the few reasons why I am proud to be from Baltimore!
The mindset of a true CHAMPION 🏆💯💯💯💯✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Gervonta Hats off to you Stay Humble You are a true Champion !!! May God Bless you
man is young man right here is the realest in the boxing game.
That’s why I love this guy as a boxer! He loves the sport.
This is a GREAT example of "Delayed Gratification"!!! One of life's most valuable lessons that most people never learn.
Probably one of the most important things to teach people. Look up the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment from the 70’s. It was debunked by researchers at UCLA last year, but it’s still an interesting read on the topic!
@@BrianJRoberts Thanks, I'm gonna check it out.
So very proud of Tank! Much love and respect from Maryland. 😊
We love you in the Bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸 tank❤️💯
The process is what makes the prize so appreciated.
I respect this lad a lot. Proper solid bloke.

Tank has the superior mindset. And it was born out of necessity.
Hope Davis gets everything he deserves and needs his story and struggles was real
That’s what I call, disciplining. God Bless.
When it's all said and done he is forsure one of the greatest and possibly the greatest depending on how long he decides to fight . This man can box like a beast on front and back foot he's actually alot more technically sound than people wanna admit bit what makes tank special is his instincts for fighting he's fast powerful and deadly accurate aswell.. I guess we will see
