Gervonta Davis, also known as Abdul Wahid, is recognized for his unique lifestyle and dedication to his craft. However, he once requested a “Ferrari” from Turki Alalshikh even though his own career earnings are remarkable.
In fact, Davis said that they would have to send two Ferrari to his door if he had to accept offer to might in Saudi Arabia. This time His Excellency did not seem pleased with the fighter’s comments and his response was equally bitter.

Saudi Arabia has hosted numerous high-profile fights, with Turki Alalshikh often spearheading the efforts to showcase the action globally. Notable bouts include Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk, and Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou.
Amidst these events, His Excellency Alalshikh attempted to make an offer to Gervonta Davis for a bout against Devin Haney. However, rather than rejecting the offer outright, Davis made an unconventional demand for two Ferraris to his doorstep, essentially signaling a “no” to the proposal.

But now Turki Alalshikh has decided to respond to his demand, reminding him that he is just another boxer to fight Riyadh. His Excellency said, “I heard Davis say, ‘Send me two Ferraris.’ I say to him – we will send you two gloves if you want, that’s it.” The two-glove offer was a sarcastic reply to Gervonta Davis after he made the demand for two Ferraris despite being absent from boxing for almost a year already.

Looking at the probability, Assessing the likelihood, Sean stated, “Technically, he’s out of retirement. He’s keen on facing Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia. With about a year remaining, he just wants to step back into the ring. Manny believes he’s in excellent shape, training for this exhibition, and hopefully, it paves the way for something more significant. I foresee a professional comeback for Pacquiao.” The agent also emphasized that, at 45, Pacquiao feels he’s still in good shape to showcase his fighting skills.
