Gervonta Davis has converted to Islam, following in the footsteps of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and Devin Haney. Last week, a video of the undefeated Baltimore boxer surfaced online in which Davis was seen receiving the Shahada. Now that the world knows about Davis’ conversion to Islam, many people are wondering what name he took after converting to Islam. Similarly, before Ali became a famous boxer or before he converted to Islam, his name was Cassius Clay.

Now that Gervonta Davis is a Muslim, he has adopted a new name, and his Muslim name is Abdul Wahid. Another video that emerged on the internet, shared by Dus Dawah, shows Davis receiving his Muslim name after their conversation. Furthermore, Imam Hasan Somali disclosed Davis’ Muslim name at Masjid Hidayah with Raha Batts. Subsequently, he stated:

Many if you know that he embraced Islam. Alhamdulillah, and he is Muslim, and I just wanted to talk about something that’s very important and beneficial. The attribute that he chose the name that he chose as a Muslim is Abdul Wahid.

Hence, Davis’ Muslim name was announced the way Ali received his name from his spiritual leader, Elijah Muhammad. Similarly, Tyson also has a Muslim name, which is Malik Abdul Aziz, and Tyson converted to Islam while he was serving time in prison.

Furthermore, it was revealed that Davis’ name means the servant of ‘the one’. Subsequently, the name refers to God being ‘one god’ and worshiping that one God, which is the central principle of Islam. The new name Davis received symbolizes an integral point in his conversion to Islam.
