Roy Jones has heaped praise on Gervonta Davis by comparing the heavy-handed fighter to Mike Tyson.
Davis enjoyed the biggest win of his career earlier this year when he stopped Ryan Garcia with a vicious body shot to close the door on their rivalry which had been brewing for a number of years.
Now seen as one of the brightest talents in boxing, the Baltimore man is currently seeking his next challenge as he looks to preserve his unbeaten record.
Surrounded by other top name such as Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney, ‘Tank’ won’t have to look far for his next challenge and his performances so far have earned him a positive appraisal from the former heavyweight world champion.
“Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson are entertaining, but Tank is the most entertaining guy because he has that Mike Tyson level of entertainment,” said Jones when speaking to Sporting Post.
“He's very powerful and anything can happen at any time, inside or outside the ring. Tank is a modern day Mike Tyson.”
