GERVONTA DAVIS called out his promoter Floyd Mayweather after he trained his rival Devin Haney.
Davis, 25, has butted heads with Mayweather on several occasions, but appears to be at breaking point after finding out the 43-year-old has been passing down his knowledge to Haney in 4am sparring sessions.

The super-featherweight champion was so infuriated he cancelled a proposed training camp at Mayweather’s Las Vegas gym and even said he would even FIGHT his mentor.
Davis wrote online: “I’ve been doing well by my lonely… both of their ass the opps [opposition] anyway.
“I’m ready to fight whoever… including Floyd. That’s not trolling, them facts.”
Mayweather defended his decision to train 21-year-old Haney – who he has known since the rising star was nine – after insisting the lightweight champion is due to move up to light-welterweight, meaning he is no rival to Davis.
He told FightHype: “It’s obvious that I’m giving back to this world. It’s a black kid that asked for my advice and asked for my help. Haney don’t need to fight one more fight at 135, he’s going to 140.
“Gervonta Davis fights at what? He fights at 130.
“At the end of the day, I want the best for all these fighters. There’s no difference from my end. Everybody else support their own first.”
But Mayweather’s choice to train Haney was also blasted by another of his former protege’s, Adrien Broner, a friend and former training partner of Davis’.
Broner said on Instagram: “He’s one of the biggest names in the sport of boxing right now is Gervonta Davis, so why would you go train his rival?”
“I don’t get that, that’s a b**** ass thing to do.”
