Sean O'Malley Makes Stunning Promise On Gervonta "Tank" Davis Fight
Sean O'Malley has made quite the guarantee in regards to a potential fight against boxing champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis.
Davis' stock has been rising in the boxing world. That star power grew further with his seventh-round knockout victory over Ryan Garcia back in April. While reports have been swirling about a possible rematch between "Tank" and Issac Cruz, O'Malley has thrown his name out there as a potential opponent for Davis sometime down the road.

Davis' trainer, Kenny Ellis, told ES News that his fighter would whoop O'Malley in the first round. Ellis' comments were in response to the "Sugar" show claiming he would KO "Tank" in a boxing match. Ellis also said MMA fighters don't know how to perfect punches the way boxers do.
O'Malley has responded to Ellis on the "TimboSugarShow," promising that the fight with Gervonta Davis will happen at some point.
"I do know how to f****** punch, by the way if you guys didn't know that," O'Malley said. "I got a decent right hand, I got a pretty good left hand. Dude, I f****** rocked Petr [Yan] with a left hand, dropped Petr with my right hand, then dropped Aljo [Aljamain Sterling] with my right hand. So, I can throw a punch or two. That fight's gonna happen some day, I swear to f****** God, dude. When I have these feelings, like these true deep feelings, like I'm gonna be world champ, I would tell anybody, look them in the eyes and tell them that 'cause I knew it was gonna happen. I have that same feeling about fighting Gervonta. Like, it's gonna f****** happen."
O'Malley went on to say that he can picture the fight happening inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. "Sugar's" coach Tim Welch opened the possibility that "Tank" may not take O'Malley seriously, which will lead to him hitting the canvas.
