What what [music] have he done in the sport? He haven't done nothing. We afraid of some It got to be somebody hitting us and and hurting [music] us.
Like he don't throw He don't have no offense. Everything is defense. Defense only win in basketball and and uh and [laughter] uh football.
[ __ ] don't win in boxing. I'm the number one contender [music] to fight Tank. So I think you got to wait on the back burner or let's get the fight going.
But we still waiting to see what Tank doing. And then [music] I think we're lining that Lucas body fight up hopefully because y'all know I want to get him up out the way. Tank is [music] the fight.
That's why I'm calling it out now. We his mandatory. We hold two WBA belts but we don't want Tank to run the 140 and now we want to fight [music] Tank cuz he's the best right now.
Jervant Davis has finally responded after Floyd Scoffield called him out. And now the spotlight is back on one of boxing's most dangerous names. You got to stay [music] on your P's and Q's with tank for the whole 12 rounds.
That is to me the biggest test for Floyd. [music] He got to keep his mind in the game for 12 rounds. But that's a talk for a different time.
I ain't trying to get into that. Yeah, that it would be a personal one there. Y man, I'm going to make sure I would love for that fight.
Y'all talk about it, man. Floyd Scoffield senior made it clear that team Scofield wants Jervant Davis next. He talked like Tank is the real test for Floyd kid Austin Scoffield.
Not because it is an easy fight, but because Tank is viewed as one of the most dangerous names in boxing. From Scoffield Senior's side, they believe Floyd has the pressure, toughness, and style to give Tank serious problems. He also made it sound like they are not interested in just building quietly or waiting around for safe fights.
They want the biggest challenge, and Tank is the fight they are calling for. At the same time, Scoffield Senior also took shots at Shakur Stevenson, saying Floyd would bring a different kind of pressure and turn that kind of matchup into a real fight. It's a difference when you go in there and break somebody nose or their jaw when [music] you're fighting.
Boxers that be was great amateurs are usually usually not saying [music] they market it very well cuz they come out, they get big budgeted [music] and they market it. The people like us that had to throw fights ourselves for build our own stadium, do all of that, it's a difference. We going to come out and break your rib.
We know your body is soft. And Floyd senior pushed the confidence even further. He sounded sure that his son's style could make things difficult for Tank because of the pressure, physicality, and mean attitude he believes Kid Austin would bring into the ring.
In his mind, Tank would not just be dealing with a young fighter trying to survive. He would be dealing with someone coming to make the fight uncomfortable every second. And again, he brought Shakur into the conversation, too.
His message was that Floyd would not allow Shakur to simply sit back and box at his own pace. So, the message from Team Scofield was very clear. They want smoke with the biggest names and they believe Kid Austin has the style to shock people if he gets the opportunity.
Drpped on me now. Kid got dropped before that fight. Kid got dropped in Spawn.
Kid got dropped in the amateurs and every time he got dropped, he got up in one. Then Jervant Davis finally responded to the call outs from Team Scofield and his message was direct. He texted Floyd Senior saying, "You're going to get your son's head knocked off, you old f.
" And he is a [ __ ] That response immediately changed the tone of the entire conversation. For weeks, Floyd Senior had been saying Tank does not want the fight and claiming that his son has the style, confidence, and pressure to trouble him. But now, Tank is answering back like he is ready to settle everything in the ring.
That makes the matchup even more interesting because Team Scoffield has been asking for the opportunity, and now Tank is putting the pressure right back on them. If both sides are serious, this could go from online talk to a real fight very quickly. But this doesn't end here.
Tank texted Floyd Jr. as well, warning him as he said, "And when I'm done with him, I'm going to spit in your face, you fat. " Floyd senior also clapped back at fans who believe Javvant Davis would easily knock out Kid Austin.
He made it clear that people are underrating his son's experience just because he is young. According to him, Floyd has been around boxing since he was a child, competing since the age of eight and building a deep amateur background long before fans started paying attention. So when people say Tank has too much experience, Floyd Senior does not accept that argument.
In his eyes, his son has lived boxing his entire life, and elite fighters would not call him in for serious work if he were not operating at a high level. His message was simple. Fans may not know Floyd yet, but Team Scoffield believes he is much more prepared than people think.
He was 8 years old. He got over 300 amateur fights. What do you mean experience?
All he know is boxing. He didn't go play football or go to school. He didn't even go to school.
So experience, they don't got more experience than him or they would have called him in to help them get ready for their championship fights. People don't call a person less than them to get them ready for a championship fight. So come on, use your head here, but right now you're talking about nothing cuz you don't know him.
You're wasting my time. Floyd Scoffield Jr. also made it clear that he is not trying to waste energy arguing with fans on line.
While people keep saying Jervant Davis would knock him out, Floyd said his focus is on training, recovery, and living like a real fighter. He explained that he is always in the gym working on his craft. And after training, his priority is getting his body right again.
That shows a different side of him. Instead of trying to win every internet debate, Floyd sounds like he wants the work to speak for itself. For him, going back and forth with fans who have already made up their minds only brings stress.
So while the outside noise keeps growing, he is trying to stay focused on the gym and the moment that could come next. Arguing with ignorant people who no matter what I say, they still gonna be set on their opinions that I'mma lose the fight or soal. So why am I going to waste my time?
Like not for you mills. Of course, I'mma give y'all the interviews cuz y'all just y'all doing understand. We understand.
I'm not going to go back and forth with people online cuz I don't gain nothing from that besides stress. I ain't got time for that. Then Floyd senior took the confidence to another level by saying that Jvant Davis and Shakur Stevenson are not threats to his son.
From his side, Team Scoffield believes Floyd has already been built for those kinds of fights. He spoke like a father who feels he raised a fighter from the ground up and prepared him for this level through years of sacrifice, training, and discipline. In his eyes, people are not just watching a young fighter talk big.
They are watching the result of a long boxing life that started early and was shaped through hard work. That is why he sounds so sure when he talks about Tank and Shakur. He truly believes Floyd is not just ready for top names, but built to beat them.
Tank and Shakur and them ain't no threat for us. We got them ready for their fight. You sound like the father in there.
No, he said he sound like I raised a good son. You probably not doing that with yours. You would know that because I raised that.
I Hold up, young man. You're talking that. That's rule number one.
So apparently your father didn't teach you that. That's talking while I'm talking. That's what I raised as a as a parent by myself since two from homeless.
So, hold up. Hold up, young man. So, understand greatness.
Like I said, you understand greatness when you're speaking to it. That's what I raised from homeless. So, if you can say, "Oh, he talked like a great man.
I did a greating job. " So, you like I said, you're witnessing greatness. But Floyd Senior did not stop there.
He also doubled down on the idea that Jervant Davis does not really want the fight with Kid Austin. He said he has been telling people from the beginning that Tank was never going to step into the ring with his son and now fans are simply watching it play out. From his side, Tank already had time to fight Floyd when he was his mandatory, but the fight still did not happen.
He also brought up past comments where he says Tank admitted he would not fight Kid when Floyd was only 17. To him, that proves this is not about timing or business. He believes Tank understands the danger, does not want the matchup, and will continue avoiding it no matter how much fans push for it.
I told y'all from day one, Tank ain't never going to fight, kid. Y'all just watching it play out. Y'all the one they the ones who believe this.
Tank didn't fight us for a year. He avoided us as his mandatory. Y'all think now he's all of a sudden gonna want to get in the ring with Kid.
He said it out of his own mouth. I would never get in the ring with that kid when Kid was 17 years old. So it's like people would have forced this man into a fight he don't want.
He don't want the fight. He never going to want the fight with kid. I mean it is what it is.
Some some fighters know. Floyd senior also pushed back on the idea that Tank Davis is bigger than the sport or can simply do whatever he wants. When a fan brought up the argument that Tank has enough star power to avoid certain fights, he rejected that completely.
In his eyes, no fighter is bigger than boxing, no matter how popular they are or how much money they bring. He said that if Tank is mandated to fight Floyd and still does not take the fight, then the system should hold him accountable. Floyd senior believes champions come and go and boxing always moves on to the next name.
So from his side, Tank may be a star right now, but that does not mean he should be allowed to avoid his responsibilities. He said, "One of your fans says Tank bigger than y'all program. He do whatever he wants to do.
You believe that? He can do whatever he want to do. They want to mandate him to fight us and they won't be stripping him.
So that's Bus. Nobody is a big is bigger than boxing. They the way they they replace these champions left and right.
We only have 10 to 12 years on that throne before they replaced him. So nobody bigger than boxing in the program. Then Floyd Scoffield Jr.
tried to shift the tone with a more respectful message. He tweeted, "We love you, Jervant, and we are just having fun with the marketing for the fight. Either way, we have to fight for that world title.
Thank you for the opportunity. Let's put on a great fight for the fans. This is both of our legacies in real time.
" That tweet changed the feeling after all the back and forth between Team Scofield and Jervant Davis. Floyd made it clear that the trash talk is part of building the fight, not real hatred. But at the same time, he reminded everyone that this is still serious business because a world title opportunity is on the line.
He is showing respect to Tank, but he is also making it clear that he wants to fight and understands how big it could be for both of their careers. Then, Boxing Kingdom tweeted, "Negotiations are reportedly progressing for WBA lightweight champion Jervant Davis to face mandatory challenger Floyd Scoffield Jr. The sides still have until June 22nd to reach a deal before purse bids are ordered.
" That update made the Tank Davis versus Floyd Scoffield Jr. situation feel much more serious. After all the callouts, interviews, and pressure from Team Scoffield, it now sounds like the fight is actually moving through the business stage.
Floyd is the mandatory challenger. So, if both sides cannot agree on terms by June 22nd, purse bids could be ordered. That puts pressure on everyone involved, Tank is the champion and the bigger star.
But Scoffield's side believes this is their chance to force the opportunity and prove they belong at the top. At this stage, the fight is no longer just about who talks louder. It is about whether the business side can match the energy that has already been built.
Yvont Davis's coach Kenny Ellis along with Floyd senior and kid Austin all spoke about the possibility of Floyd fighting Tank Davis. That interview made the matchup feel even more real because both sides are now talking openly about what could happen next. Yeah, this fight this fight I think would be good for Tank cuz even both Tank need a tuneup.
Floyd need a tuneup. The whole goal in boxing is to fight the best and Tank is the best. I don't care what nobody say.
I know we the under underdog, but how do you challenge yourself? My son challenge yourself. I agree, but it's it's not up to me and you.
I hopefully whoever's in charge, they can make it happen, you know, for whatever it takes. [music] But like it's it's a good fight. It's a good fight.
Real good fight. Well, right now Oscar and them claim they talking to PBC that they're in negotiations for that fight. Tank is coming back.
So better be ready. They better be ready. So we have a a a tweet, you know, with Tank saying [music] he will get his little whooped.
I have none of those twitches that Tevin has. I'll beat the duck out of this. Team Scoffield believes Floyd has earned the opportunity as the mandatory challenger and they are confident he can give Tank a serious fight.
Floyd's senior has been very vocal, saying his son is not afraid of the moment and has been built for this level. At the same time, Kenny Ellis represents the tank side where they know Jervant is the champion, the bigger name, and one of the most dangerous punchers in boxing. That is what makes this matchup so interesting.
One side sees a rising challenger ready to shock the world, while the other side has a proven champion who has already shown he can end fights with one shot. With negotiations reportedly moving forward, this interview only adds more heat to a fight that fans are now watching closely. And the thing is my son win, lose a draw, it don't stop his career.
It only made sure that he made the bad. So his family is secure. So the rest is just the icing on the cake.
Our goal is to make sure our young men is straight. He will make millions for this fight. His kids is okay now.
The house paid for. Now go have fun. Whatever happened in boxing.
So people could think what they want. Nobody capp number one. [music] Um, it's you supposed to challenge the champ.
Win, lose or draw. You lose, you go back down. You build back up as a boxer.
That's what make you great. Damn. It's been a year for Scoffield already.
Yeah. Last June. It's about to be a year.
And Tank is a year and a half. They both each other tune up. No matter how it how it looks.
And my son, I've been saying he's the greatest of all time. When do we get a chance to prove it or go after it? This is a huge risk for my son.
What happen if my son going against the king, right? What happen if he win? What happen if if god forbid he stop tank?
How is his life the next day? So with with this journey of life, you got one life. Have fun.
Risk. Have fun. Go for it.
Go for it. What's the worst that could happen? You lose.
Nobody expected you to win. So, you know, it's a win-win for my son no matter what. Just getting in the ring is a win-win for him.
Just to be in the ring with is is a good experience for him. You know, for real, he would learn from whatever tank teach him in that ring, he would carry that on throughout his boxing journey. Oscar De La Hoya also spoke on whether Jervant Davis versus Floyd Scoffield Jr.
will actually get made and he sounded optimistic. He explained that on paper the fight should happen because the WBA has ordered it and Golden Boy is now waiting to review the proposal from PBC. Oscar made it clear that the business still has to make sense for everyone involved, especially the fighters, but he believes the fight can happen if both sides truly want it.
Tank and Scoffield will get made. I I on paper it should get made. Uh the WBA, I believe, ordered that fight.
Um, we have I was talking to uh Tom Brown here and um you know he's going to obviously send in his proposal to Eric Gomez. We're going to you know study it. We're going to dissect it and um obviously if it makes sense it makes sense that we make the fight.
But look, it's all about making sure that the fighter gets what they want. And uh we as promoters PBC and and and and Golden Boy, you know, we just want to make sure that we we do uh not have any differences whatsoever in order to make this fight happen. So, will it happen?
I I believe so. Only if the fighters want it. Oscar also pushed back on the idea that it may be too soon for Scofield.
In his view, Floyd is in a great position because he is always in the gym, constantly improving and getting stronger. Oscar sees this as a major opportunity for Scofield because he has everything to gain and nothing to lose. That can make a young challenger dangerous.
If the tank fight gets finalized, Floyd would be walking into the biggest moment of his career with the chance to change everything. Keep keep saying that. I I think I think Floyd Scoffield is in a great position.
He doesn't leave the gym. He's the he's he's probably the the the hardest worker in boxing today in the gym. He's just growing.
He's getting stronger. He's getting faster. He's getting better.
And he's still a baby. So his his his man's strength is coming is coming forward now. And so look, if that fight happens, which hopefully it can happen, I would say third quarter of this year.
Um, hey, I think it'll be a great fight. And don't don't uh don't don't count out uh don't count out uh Floyd Scoffield because I mean, he has everything everything to win and nothing to lose. Bernie Thoxer also reacted to the WBA mandating Jervant Davis versus Floyd Scoffield Jr.
and he did not hold back when talking about Team Scofield's confidence. Bernie said Floyd senior has been talking a lot, but in his view, some of that talk sounds unrealistic. He pointed out that Scofield's side has called for big fights before, but when certain opportunities came around, things did not always play out the way they were presented.
I've been hearing Scoffield talk a lot, man. And he's just out of his mind. You know, the kid, I like the kid, but I mean, this guy be talking, he's talking real delusional.
I mean, you know, he's talking real delusional for a guy that backed that called for the fight for Shakur forever and then when he got to the fight, he backed out the fight. It's just like Richard Hitchens, you know, he was doing all that talking and that he get to the fight and he don't fight, you know. I mean, you know, you give them a lot of play.
Nobody else give them play. Me, you give them a lot of play. So, they going up, you know, from from your from your uh platform.
But, I mean, the stuff he be saying is just ridiculous. From Bernie's side, if Tank Davis is listening, he might as well call their bluff and take the fight. He believes Scoffield has some attention around his name now.
But he also feels Floyd still has a lot to prove before talking like he is ready to beat someone like Tank. So, for Bernie, this matchup is interesting. But the pressure is really on Floyd Scoffield Jr.
to back up all the noise. If he gets the fight, the talking will not matter anymore. He will have to prove it under the lights.
If I'm tank, you know what I'm saying? Scoffield got a little following, so let's pull his bluff. Let's call it and fight him if I'm tank.
But you know, a boy just be talking way too much. He don't be doing nothing. He just doing too much talking.
And he talking like his son is like, I mean, he got that one round knockout of Kevin Farmer. That's good. But I mean, come on, man.
Come on, man. Come on, man. He He's He's I mean, he he got a lot to backing up to do.
Zab Judah also gave his reaction to Floyd Scoffield putting pressure on Jervant Davis for the fight, and he looked at it from both sides. At first, he said he respects the Scoffields and likes what they bring to the conversation. But when Tank's name came up, Zab made it clear that he still believes in Jervant.
He pointed out that nobody really knows what Tank is doing behind the scenes because Tank has been quiet and could be training privately the whole time. Zab also reminded people that Tank's left hand is extremely dangerous and that is not something any fighter can play with. So while Chafield is calling for the fight and trying to force the opportunity, Zab still sees Tank as a serious threat who can change everything with one shot.
I like the Scoffield, man. I like this scorefield. Bernard, I I mean, you know what?
You know [music] what? Wait a minute. take that back because a lot of time has been going on with Tank and Tank, you know, I don't know what Tank's doing.
I don't know. We don't know if Tank training if Tank been just quiet and training this whole time. But one thing I'm going to do is I'm going to believe in my in my southpaw, my Southpaw brother right there.
I ain't gonna fry my little bro. And I listen, bro, David, I play with that left hand. That [ __ ] is dangerous.
I ain't even gonna play with it. So I don't know. I don't know.
Yeah, a lot of people are waiting for Tank to come back. Like like I get I get a lot of DMs about it. Like people ask me like if I know what's going on.
I I think he'd be doing a 3 4 in the morning training [music] with the team. Nobody Nobody get to watch him, you know.
