Seems like the beef isn’t over yet.

Recently, IBF super featherweight titleholder Tevin Farmer was asked about his ongoing beef with WBA titleholder Gervonta Davis. The two have exchanged words over social media and interviews, but Farmer said just 10 days ago that he wasn’t going to bother with that anymore.

“I fell back from that because the fight’s not happening,” he said. “I wanted the fight to happen, Davis said he wanted the fight to happen, but for some reason, it’s not happening.”

Well, maybe not so much, as the two got into it again today on Twitter, with the war of words getting pretty nasty.

Here’s the rundown:

I’ll take farmer and the rest right after

It’s also worth pointing out that Lou DiBella jumped in here and noted that Eddie Hearn and Tevin Farmer have just one fight left on their deal. That could be extended, or it might not be, but DiBella doesn’t sound unhappy about where Farmer is or anything.

And here’s the very Boxing part: most likely, both these guys are fighting mandatory challengers next, so all of this is pretty empty for the moment.

Farmer has been ordered to face France’s Guillaume Frenois, a former European champion, and Davis has been ordered to face Panama’s Ricardo Nunez, whose main attribute is that he’s from Panama. We know that Davis will be back July 27 on Showtime in Baltimore, and it seems like it’ll be Nunez across the ring. Farmer-Frenois doesn’t have a date yet.

meh, both of them are just fighting trash atm

davis is much better though, an elite talent vs a decent one

Thats what boxing needs, more talk on social media

Nothing like some trash-talk from a couple of East Coast ghetto dudes.

I like Farmer more than Davis but Tevin will probably be dominated in this one. Gervonta has faced much tougher competition and beaten them more convincingly, especially then-unbeaten Jose Pedraza. Tevin didnt have much of an amateur career so he is still facing limited opposition as a pro.

Farmer's best bet is to up the caliber of his opposition for a couple years in hopes that he can get to the level where he can hang in the ring with Tank.

Zzzzz
A guy who faces second rate challengers and a guy who doesn't fight...

What did fighters do with their down time before they had social media to spew non-stop crap?

I wish they'd go at it in the ring instead.

So they’re both making mandatory defences on 29 July. Should be no issue making the fight after that date.

Tank is 100 he walks through him.

Gervonta Davis: I'll Try and Break Every Bone in Farmer's Body!

WBA super featherweight champion Gervonta Davis is hungry to batter Tevin Farmer, the IBF's world champion, in a high stakes unification showdown.

After the fight, both boxers called each other out.

Davis hopes a deal can get done - because he wants to punish Farmer in every single round.

"I bumped into him years ago, and there’s so much talk—he’s been talking. When we fight, I’m not gonna lie, I’m gonna try and break every bone in his body. I’m not holding back nothing. We can fight until one person dies, that’s how I feel," Davis told Premier Boxing Champions.

He cautions that a contest with Farmer would not establish the winner as the best fighter in the weight class.

Davis views himself and WBC world champion Miguel Berchelt as the best fighters at 130.

He aims to unify by the end of the year, and if that doesn't happen he intends to move up to lightweight for more gold.

"[Farmer is] not the best at 130, he’s not even top tier. Me and Miguel Berchelt would, but I don’t care who I fight as long as I get what I earned and it’s a fair shake. I’ll fight whoever. I will unify for sure by the end of this year. I’m gonna get one of those other champions. If I don’t unify though, I’m going up. If not 130, then we’ll go to 135 and snatch all of those belts up there. Keep supporting me, I fight for y’all," Davis said.
