Gervonta Davis reveals the real reason he is leaving Floyd Mayweather after Rolando Romero fight

Gervonta Davis revealed he will leave Floyd Mayweather after his fight with Rolando Romero following months of speculation over his future.

The American star, 27, says there isn’t any ‘bad blood’ between them despite previously calling him ‘jealous’ in a since-deleted tweet.

“I feel as though it’s my career so I feel as though I need to be the one to control my career, you know what I mean. And it’s time.
