Gervonta "Tank" Davis was absent during the grand arrivals in Las Vegas, leaving his trainer, Calvin Ford, to address the media and explain his absence.
Earlier, Tank had informed his social media followers that he would not attend the grand arrivals, criticizing the promotion for his title defense as inadequate. While some fans thought he was joking, Tank was serious and did not attend, leaving Ford and Martin to handle the promotional duties.
Calvin Ford suggested that Tank’s absence might be due to his physical condition, stating that Tank might not have felt up to attending. However, Ford assured that Tank would be present for the final press conference and the weigh-in, which are crucial events he cannot miss. Tank’s decision not to attend has sparked various reactions, with some speculating it could be related to the lesser attention his fight with Martin is receiving compared to his previous bout against Ryan Garcia.
On social media, Tank expressed his dissatisfaction with the promotion:
"The promotion for this fight has been a@$. Now, watch ion show up to the arrivals s@#$ today.”
