Tim Bradley Backs Gervonta Davis’ Criticism of Turki Alalshikh

Tim Bradley has backed Gervonta Davis’ criticism towards Turki Alalshikh.
Tank was unhappy after not being invited to the Ring Magazine Award Ceremony. His rivals were present, making Tank’s absence even more noticeable: Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson. Davis is currently a world champion, unlike Haney and Garcia, who both got the nod. Garcia is also currently banned from boxing after testing positive for Ostarine, turning his Haney win into a no-contest. Tank understandably may feel aggrieved by not being invited. But Davis has not helped himself. Tank dismissed the idea of working with the Saudis when they were keen to make the Haney fight. Davis said he wanted Ferraris delivered to his door before any talk of a fight.
Turki Alalshikh reacted by saying he would only deliver a pair of gloves. Tank then slammed fighters for wanting to fight in the Kingdom. He accused them of chasing money while also criticizing the atmosphere. He called out the small crowds and said he could make big money by fighting in the US. His comments divided the boxing community. There was a perception that Davis was jealous of not getting recognition. But others, such as Tim Bradley, praised Tank for standing up for his beliefs. So much so that Bradley’s comments appeared to favor Tank over Shakur, which may have surprised fans.
Reaction
“Why they didn’t invite everybody. But they invited people they deal with…..f*** outta here. Stop d*** eating. Look at that little rat thinking he came up on something (presumably Eddie Hearn). Now tell them all [to] fight each other…since they have a heavy roster. They wanna act like this guy Alalshikh] good for boxing when he not good at s**t.
“If so why he not building the people where he from? This guy knows s**t about boxing at all and this who they’re turning to. All d*** eaters. Lol, they have to go over there to make money and still do. I sell where I’m from b****, America. They be going over there getting their ass kicked fighting in front of a total of 19 people…but becuz they rich it’s cool,” Davis said
“That’s why I respect Tank. Hey, Tank. You got a new fan, dog. You are a real one, dog. As of late, you’ve been showing me you a real one. I like that. Now, if you go over there [Riyadh, Saudi Arabia] and take back everything you said and you kiss the ring, too [of Turki] for $150m].
“You know Shakur is over there and that’s why I respect you. You’re saying, ‘I don’t need Shakur,’ because you don’t want to go over there. You don’t want to kiss the ring, but if you go back on your word, then you’re going to lose a big fan, dog, and I’m going to come at you. I’m going to come at you, dog, for real,” Bradley said
