#3 WBC and #3 WBO ranked lightweight contender Keyshawn seems thirsty for a title shot against WBA 135-lb champion Tank, knowing that the money he will get will be massive and life-changing. If Tank blesses Keyshawn with a fight, it doesn’t matter if his career goes downhill from that point.
Keyshawn wants the fans to see him as he doesn’t need Tank, but the reality is that he does. His behavior is so transparent. He is a classic example of a needy fighter who lacks the confidence to create his own path like successful stars like Tank did. So, try to ride their coats, looking for a boost.
Fans believe that lightweight contender Keyshawn (11-0, 7 KOs) is in need, using the name Tank Davis as influencers to help stimulate interest in his 10-round fight against Gustavo Lemos (29-1 , 19 KOs this Friday, November 8). , at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
Keyshawn, 25, mentioned Baltimore native Tank Davis more this week than he did his opponent Lemos, which suggests a couple of things:
- Desperate for a payday
- Help needed to create interest in the Lemos fight
- Overconfident
During an interview on Wednesday, Keyshawn said about Tank, “I’ll stay at 135 until you beat me.” Today, Keyshawn changed his tune, saying he doesn’t need Tank, but then, in the next breath, he asks him to send him a contract.
The way Keyshawn can’t stop talking about Tank it sounds like he’s obsessed with him and begging for a chance to share the ring with the Face of Boxing. Keyshawn barely mentions his opponent, Lemos, for Friday because he’s too busy droning on Tank.
“Brother, I don’t need you. I ain’t gonna fight. I make real (money?). I don’t need you, bro,” said Keyshawn Davis social mediaspeaking of him he doesn’t need Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. “If you want to fight me, send me a contract. If you don’t, I will be as popular fighting with you or not fighting.
Keyshawn’s comment about not needing Tank Davis is a distinctive sign of insecurity for a person who lacks self-esteem and self-esteem and needs to be in the presence of the King of the lightweight division to feel healthy. Keyshawn wants Tank’s fight and can’t stop hitting him.
“I’m going to make my money fighting you or not fighting you,” Keyshawn said. “So don’t screw up, thinking I’m chasing you. Don’t chase me, dude, dwarf. Don’t chase me. I’m not chasing Teofimo. He’s running away from me. I’m not trying to fight Shakur. So stop it mention it.”
Keyshawn’s comment about not needing Tank’s fight is to protect what little ego he has in case he never gets the match. Saying that he doesn’t need him, Keyshawn tries to protect his ego when he is dismissed as unworthy.
“I don’t need any of these fighters to build me up. I’m trying to make the biggest fight happen,” Keyshawn said. “For my first main event, I gave everyone an interesting fight. I can fight a bum. I fight with Gustavo. I don’t need to do it.
“Call me a fighter who is 11-0 who sells 10,000 tickets like The Businessman. Who sells like me before he becomes a world champion besides Ryan Garcia? said Keyshawn.
There is a big difference in the money that Tank and Keyshawn make for their fights. Keyshawn’s reported purse for Friday’s fight against Lemos is $75,000. In contrast, Tank did $10 million for his last defense against Frank Martin on June 15.
