Gervonta Davis pushes Rolly Romero off the stage during the faceoff - his reaction is priceless

Gervonta Davis pushed Rolando Romero off the stage after the pair successfully made weight in New York.

The lightweight rivals were both comfortably inside the 135lbs limit at Friday’s weigh in at Barclays Center, home to the Brooklyn Nets.

And when two boxers who blatantly don’t like each other hit the scales, it was always going to be a spiky affair in the Big Apple.

Romero, 26, has spent the past couple of months desperately trying to wind up Davis, 27.

But as he stepped in front of his rival, ‘Tank’ gave him a little tap on the back which tipped him over the edge.

And Floyd Mayweather‘s protégé, who weighed in at 133.7lbs, says he fully expects Romero to bring the heat when the duo finally collide.

“We have to wait and see what happens. He’s predicting a first round knockout, but I’m predicting something else.

“A lot of fighters are calling each other out but aren’t fighting. He worked his way up to this point and called me out.

“Now the fight is happening, so it’ll be great to have him on my
