Leonard Ellerbe Responds to Floyd Mayweather’s Alleged Kidnapping in Dubai and Gervonta Davis Altercation
In a shocking revelation, Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, confronts the turmoil swirling in the world of boxing. Rumours of Floyd Mayweather’s alleged kidnapping in Dubai and the following fallout between Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Mayweather Promotions are creating tumult within the boxing world.
Ellerbe Defends Mayweather
In a recent report, it was insinuated that Floyd Mayweather Jr., former professional boxer turned boxing promoter, was held against his will in Dubai. Although these allegations have plunged the boxing community into deep concern, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, has categorically denied these rumours.
“We have heard the rumblings about Floyd, and I am here to tell you that they are baseless, unfounded, and untrue,” said Ellerbe, defending his long-term friend and business partner. The duo has spent more than two decades building Mayweather Promotions, a powerhouse in the boxing industry.
Mayweather and Davis Rift
Simultaneously, the world of boxing is abuzz with the supposed tension between Floyd Mayweather and two-time super featherweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis. This rising star in boxing is signed under Mayweather promotions and his recent outbursts targeting both Mayweather and Leonard Ellerbe have further stirred the confusion.
Addressing these claims, Ellerbe responded, “We’ve always supported Gervonta Davis in his journey. This alleged ‘beef’ is merely a distortion of the truth.” He further added that Mayweather Promotions would continue to stand by Davis and aid him in his professional progression.
Davis, despite his fallouts with Mayweather, has always praised him for his mentorship and acknowledged that Mayweather has been instrumental in shaping his career. The CEO emphasized this point saying, “Floyd has always taken Gervonta under his wing, teaching him not just the ropes of the boxing ring, but also the ways of the world outside it.”
Mayweather’s Continued Influence
Despite retiring in 2015, Floyd Mayweather Jr. reckons a vast influence in the world of boxing. Being an undefeated five-division world champion with a career spanning two decades, Mayweather has set high standards within and outside the boxing rings around the world. Still, rumours and speculation continue to follow him like a shadow, causing chaos within the boxing fraternity and his loyal fanbase.
Conclusion
As far as Mayweather’s alleged kidnapping and Davis’s supposed beef with him are concerned, Leonard Ellerbe stands firm in denying the credibility of these assumptions. He gunned down the allegations, stating that Mayweather is safe and that there is no animosity between him and Davis.
Ellerbe chose to focus on the boxing prowess of both Mayweather and Davis. “Floyd’s legacy lives on in the boxing world, where he continues to inspire young boxers like Gervonta,” affirmed Ellerbe. “As for Davis, we always expect big things from this young man. He is talented, determined, and ready to take on the world.”
In conclusion, Leonard Ellerbe maintains that Mayweather Promotions is here to promote and support talented individuals to thrive in the boxing profession and that controversies like these will never deter them from their mission.
