While Gervonta Davis was putting on a show inside the boxing ring against Hector Luis Garcia, celebrity rapper, Meek Mill decided to put on a fight in the crowds. The physical altercation involving the rapper escalated to a level where even the boxers had to raise their eyebrow.

Gervonta Davis fought Hector Garcia in a Showtime PPV at the Captial One Arena in Washington DC. To watch the “Tank”, in the audience was celebrity rapper, Meek Mill. Things escalated between the Philly rapper and a crowd member while Davis was on the verge of putting a beating on his opponent. It was revealed that the person who engaged with Meek Mill was professional boxer Gary Russell Jr.

The hitmaker’s altercation led to him missing the winning moment of the fight. After the storm settled, Mill took to Twitter to address the incident. “Congratulations tankkk!!! I almost fought a boxer telling him this fight not going 12 rounds I missed the big bomb!!!!” wrote the rapper in his tweet. Davis was there to support Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Tank.

The rapper also clarified he would have never taken things to the next level to steal Davis’ thunder. “I would never let no petty sh** escalate to let somebody movie run…I just walked away,” wrote the rapper in a following tweet. Davis won the fight against Luis Garcia shortly after the altercation took place in the front rows of the crowd.
