One remarked: “Thought it was Johnny Depp.”
Another chimed in: “Look like Salt Bae.”
Davis, 30, stunned boxing fans late last year by revealing that he plans to call it a day in 2025.
And he’s sensationally doubled down on his proposed retirement, saying: “I’m going through a lot, been through a lot, been betrayed and s**t like that.
“It really made me want to give up on the limelight. Everybody chase being in front of the camera.
“They chase an image. I don’t want to be a part of that.
“As long as I have my money, can take care of my kids and whoever I need to take care of, I don’t need none of this You’re always being judged.
Gervonta Davis plans to retire at the end of 2025[/caption]“You always got to live for someone else. You gotta be perfect, and nobody’s perfect.
“At the end of 2025, I feel as though I should be more mature mentally, further than I am now.
“And I should be off of probation so I can travel the whole world.
“Once I can travel the whole world, people probably won’t ever see me again. I probably won’t be in America again.”
Fan favourite Davis was set to make his ring return against Lamont Roach in New York on March 1.
But he hinted over the holiday period that the bust-up at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center is OFF, writing on X: “The fight is f***ing cancelled.”
