      Gervonta Davis slept on the floors of crack dens and beat prison… now he’s the face of boxing and top PPV star

      by

      GERVONTA DAVIS has had the most stunning of rises from sleeping on the floors of crack dens to becoming one of boxing’s top stars. Davis grew up on the mean streets of crime-ridden Baltimore – home of gritty hit TV series The Wire.Gervonta Davis as a young amateur boxerCredit: Twitter @GervontaDavis has had trouble with the law during his careerCredit: APBut he is now world championCredit: GettyHis parents were both believed to have battled the same crack cocaine addiction that was the central theme of the award-winning show.So it makes Davis’ journey to the top of boxing as a multimillionaire pay-per-view star even more impressive. Ahead of his fight with Frank Martin, he told Amazon Prime PPV: “I’m already a legend from where I’ve came from, for what I’ve done. “I’ve been through mad stuff; sleeping on floors, crack house, all that type of stuff, I’ve been through all that.READ MORE IN BOXING”I ain’t got to prove nothing to nobody else. That’s why I will never get too hyped about the win after I win.”Because it’s like you’ve always got to do something over and over again until you’re done. “And there’s always going to be someone next, somebody next. So, I don’t feel I need to prove myself to these people.” Davis grew up in foster care and actually came close to joining his friends as an extra on The Wire – but he was deemed too naughty for the set. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSGervonta Davis: Too naughty for TV The boxer was raised in the mean streets of Baltimore – the gritty home of hit HBO series The Wire.
      Many of Davis’ friends featured as extras in the award-wining show.
      The future world champ was meant to as well – but he was deemed too naughty for set.
      Davis told The Telegraph in 2017: “I was supposed to be in The Wire but I was getting in trouble in school and on the streets.
      “When I was a young kid my mother and father were on drugs. My mother used to leave me and my brother in the house by ourselves.
      “The authorities came and got us. It took a year or two to get us back with my grandmother.”

      He was also raised by his grandmother but did reconnect with mother Kenya in later years. Despite getting into mischief on the streets as a youngster, the man affectionately known as Tank amassed a 221–5 amateur record. He turned professional in 2013 aged 18 but before long he was a world champion under the guidance of Floyd Mayweather. Davis won featherweight gold at 22 after just four years and 17 bouts to catapult him into stardom – but trouble would soon follow. The same year he became world champ, an arrest warrant was issued to Davis after being accused of punching an old friend. Charges were later dropped but it was only the start of his legal woes. In 2021, he was indicted on 14 counts for allegedly causing a serious car crash after running a red light after a November 2020 birthday party in downtown Baltimore. His Lamborghini SUV hit another car and left it smoking, sending four to the hospital, including a pregnant woman. Gervonta Davis won the world title aged 22 under Floyd MayweatherCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdDavis was mentored by boxing legend MayweatherCredit: Getty Images – GettyDavis accepted a plea deal that saw him guilty of leaving the scene of an accident involving bodily injury, failing to notify an owner of property damage, driving on a suspended license and running a red light. He was sentenced on May 5, 2023, to 90 days house arrest and three years probation – just a month after beating Ryan Garcia in a super-fightBut on June 1, 2023, he was taken into custody for violating the terms of his home detention and sentenced to serve the remainder of his sentence in jail.Davis was released 44 days later and vowed to change for the better. He said: “Being incarcerated, it felt like I wasn’t supposed to be there.”It was a learning experience. It showed me that, that’s not where I want to be. “I’ve got kids that I’ve got to take care of, family, friends that I’ve got to take care of.”Davis being released from prisonDavis has been coached and mentored all his career by Kalvin Ford, the man who first learned to coach while in prison. Ford spent ten years in jail for drug charges but upon his release became a trainer and motivating figure for troubled youths. So more than anyone, Ford can recognise the pain prison can have on an individual. He said: “I just know he’s not the same person we’ve seen the last time we seen him in the ring. Been through a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff.”Watching him making the transition from being incarcerated to now and dealing with courts, dealing with that type of stuff because that’s a trauma and a half for you if you’ve ever been through that type of stuff.”Davis, 29, has been out of the ring for 14 months since he stopped Garcia, 25, in their mega-fight that sold over ONE MILLION PPVs. It also gave the American the self-proclaimed title as the face of boxing with over £50million believed to have been made in his career. Davis now returns against unbeaten Martin, 29, in Las Vegas and does so in a bid to prove he is the best 135lb lightweight in the world.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe said: “I just want to prove I’m the best at 135 and June 15th is just going to be a clinic. “He’s just going to be a stepping stone to where I want to be.”Davis facing off with Frank MartinCredit: PBC More

      Deontay Wilder plans to take psychedelic drug again and reveals why Anthony Joshua fight may never happen

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER still plans on using psychedelic drugs – despite his defeat to Joseph Parker being in part blamed on doing so. Wilder returned in December after nearly two years out and did so boasting of becoming a new man for taking ayahuasca. Deontay Wilder ahead of his boxing returnCredit: GettyBut the feared puncher put on a gun-shy performance against Parker and in turn blew his planned super-fight with Anthony Joshua.His own coach Malik Scott suggested the psychedelic drug took away Wilder’s “violent instinct” in the ring. But Wilder, who faces Zhilei Zhang on Saturday, told the Daily Mail: “I’m looking to go back real soon. “I got Gary. He’s the owner of it out there in Costa Rica, and he always hit me up. READ MORE IN BOXING”He just wants to get that heads up when I head back out that way. And I’m looking forward to (it), I may do it after this fight.”Ayahuasca comes from stewing the leaves and stem of a jungle vine that grows in the Amazon rainforest, and it is usually drunk as a tea.It takes 20 to 60 minutes to kick in, and its effects can last up to six hours.Typical effects include visual hallucinations, euphoria, paranoia, and vomiting.Most read in BoxingWhat are the effects of ayahuasca?While the drug may affect people differently, some of the common effects include:

      Nausea/vomiting
      Diarrhea
      Anxiety
      Euphoria
      Intense visual and auditory hallucinations

But the Bronze Bomber admitted defeat for either him or Zhang, 41, could spell the end of their careers and for him, a fight with AJ.

      Premier League footballer ‘treated by paramedics’ after laughing gas addiction diagnosis as pals found him in flat

      by

      A PREMIER League star has allegedly been treated by paramedics just months after it was revealed he had a laughing gas addiction.The player, who’s unnamed, was said to have been found by pals surrounded by canisters of illegal nitrous oxide at his city centre flat.A pal is said to have found the Premier League footballer at his flat surrounded by canisters (stock image)Credit: GettyNitrous oxide, known as ‘hippy crack,’ became a Class C drug in November last yearCredit: AlamyIt is believed the player had fallen off the wagon having attended rehab in a bid to kick the habit.The paramedics who attended the scene carried out checks and gave the footballer a stark warning.The player is thought to have made several attempts to kick his addiction that has put both his health and career on the line.Police also attended but are not thought to have started any criminal proceedings.Read More on FootballThe player’s club is aware of the incident.It is believed they have been offering support for some time and were involved in the decision to send him to a specialist rehab centre earlier this season.The emergency services were contacted last month, the MailOnline reports.It’s reported the player’s family had concerns he had suffered a relapse.Most read in FootballThose fears were confirmed when a pal found him inside the flat with several bottles near to him.The player is aware of the seriousness of the problem and has made a number of attempts to quit.Laughing gas left me in a wheelchair for life – don’t make my mistakeHis club are continuing to support him in the hope he can save his career.Nitrous oxide, also known as “hippy crack”, comes in canisters — sometimes super-sized — that are used to fill balloons, which are then inhaled repeatedly.The dangers of nitrous oxide
      Nitrous oxide, also known as ‘laughing gas’, is a colourless, sweet-tasting gas discovered by Joseph Priestly in 1772.
      The Office for National Statistics reported that over a two-decade period (between 2001 and 2020) there were 56 registered deaths involving nitrous oxide in England and Wales, 45 of these since 2010.
      Deaths associated with the use of nitrous oxide occur due to secondary effects, rather than the direct toxic effect of the gas.
      Reported causes of death include acute asphyxiation due to hypoxia, or, less commonly, sudden cardiac arrhythmia, according to the government’s website.
      Deaths caused by hypoxia may occur when nitrous oxide is used in confined spaces, such as in a car or when using a face mask or plastic bag over the head.
      Heavy use of nitrous oxide can lead to the inactivation of vitamin B12, thus reducing the activity of the B12-dependent enzyme methionine synthase.
      This can lead to neurological disorders.
      Prolonged use can also lead to depression, memory loss, incontinence, hallucinations and nerve damage.

      STARS ON THE GASA string of Premier League players have been caught using nitrous oxide in the past.In 2013, then-Spurs star Kyle Walker was pictured inhaling it.Raheem Sterling was seen doing the same two years later, getting a rebuke from Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.In 2018, Arsenal stars Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Matteo Guendouzi were filmed taking it at a pre-season bash.The following year, Jack Grealish, then at Aston Villa, was snapped inhaling from a balloon.Last year, Everton midfielder Dele Alli was pictured at a do surrounded by gas canisters and alcohol.READ MORE SUN STORIESVilla’s Leon Bailey also filmed himself inhaling in his car after partying all night last March.None of these players are the ace that went to rehab.Jack Grealish was snapped inhaling from a balloon in 2019Leon Bailey also filmed himself inhaling in a car after partying all night last March More

      Football wonderkids who went off the rails – from Prem ace’s month-long burglary spree to star’s £64m cocaine bust

      by

      THEY were once the bright-eyed youngsters tipped for greatness – but even with all the talent and potential in the world, the football industry can be a fickle place. With so much fame and fortune so young comes a dangerous downside, and whether it’s a result of injury or by going off the rails, football careers can easily come to an abrupt end.Former teen sensation Jamie Cassidy was jailed for his involvement in a cocaine drugs operationCredit: PAJamie Cassidy played alongside the likes of Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen as a youngsterCredit: AlamyWhich means sadly not all top league ‘wonderkids’ are going to be able to carve out the illustrious careers they’d once hoped for, and some encounter a spectacular fall from grace. Here are the teen football prodigy whose lives went off the rails to varying degrees after being tipped for big things, and how it impacted their career.Jamie Cassidy Jamie Cassidy, 46, was once a hugely popular youth player who starred in Liverpool’s star-studded youth side in his heyday, alongside the likes of Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen.During his teenage years he became one of the top goal scorers in youth football country, and he won the FA Youth Cup in 1996.READ MORE FEATURESHowever, sadly it all went downhill after his career was hampered by injury, and without his football career, Cassidy spiralled into a life of crime.Last month he was jailed for 13 years for his role in a huge drug conspiracy alongside his brother, which involved using encrypted phones to import cocaine into the UK from South America.Cassidy pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and conspiracy to conceal, disguise, convert or transfer criminal property.Ciaran Dickson Ciaran Dickson played for Celtic and Rangers and had been tipped for first team footballCredit: GettyThe young footballer pleaded guilty at the High Court in Glasgow to death by dangerous drivingCredit: SpindriftFormer Celtic and Rangers starlet Ciaran Dickson, 22, was once tipped for first team football and scored two goals in his first two appearances for Celtic’s B team.Most read in FootballHowever, Dickson consistently flouted the law over the years and this ultimately led to tragedy as he went on to kill a teenage pedestrian in a drunken hit and run while still signed to the top team.Forensic scientists calculated that Dickson was approximately more than three times over the drink drive limit.Thomas Ross KC, defending, said: “Nothing said by Ciaran Dickson can offer comfort to Aidan’s family and friends… He recognises that he is fully deserving of a sentence of imprisonment.”Dickson’s previous convictions also include careless driving from December 2020.He was also convicted of punching his ex following their split in April 2023, and was ordered to do 180 hours of unpaid work.Callum Flanagan Callum Flanagan had shown real promiseCredit: EmpicsFlanagan pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and was handed an eight-month sentence at a young offenders’ institutionCredit: PA:Press AssociationAt Man United in the Nineties, Callum Flanagan was a highly regarded youth player who’d shown real promise.However, shortly after scoring in Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Man City in the FA Youth Cup, everything changed in 2004 when the then-19-year-old was driving team-mate Phil Marsh home after a training session. In what he later described as one of the “most harrowing days of [his] life”, he raced fellow United youth player Mads Timm, crashing and flipping his Honda Civic. He was released from the club shortly after, and after pleading guilty to dangerous driving was handed an eight-month sentence at a young offenders’ institution.He has since turned his life around, and reportedly now lives in Australia where he’s carved out a career as a personal trainer and firefighter. Speaking to an Australian paper, Flanagan said: “If I could give any advice it would be to focus fully on football and don’t let outside things get in the way.” Ismail H’MaidatIsmail H’Maidat was jailed for his role in a spree of armed robberiesCredit: AlamyFormer Arsenal trialist and Crystal Palace wonderkid Ismail H’Maidat cost Roma £3.5million back in 2016 and seemed destined for great things.But just two years later in 2018 he was jailed for 46 months for his role in a month-long spree of armed robberies – despite earning at the time a reported £9,000 a month.The Dutch-born star, who trialled with the Gunners in 2012 and joined Crystal Palace the following year, robbed betting shops, a supermarket and a petrol station.Quincy PromesQuincy Promes’ career was blighted by injuryCredit: GettyQuincy Promes lived the high life before being sentenced to six years in prisonCredit: Instagram @qpromesFormer Holland star Quincy Promes, 32, stood out when he played for the likes of Sevilla and Ajax, but his career became blighted by his recent serious run-ins with the law.Last month the winger was sentenced to six years in prison for his involvement in the smuggling of 1,363kg of cocaine into Antwerp, estimated to be worth around £65million.That wasn’t the first time the ex-Netherlands international has been in trouble, having received an 18-month sentence just last year for stabbing his cousin in the knee at a family party.Now the Dutchman is serving time in the infamous Al Aweer prison in the UAE – a far cry from the high life famous footballers usually enjoy.Andy van der MeydeAndy van der Meyde’s personal life went off the rails after a turbulent spell at EvertonCredit: Getty Images – GettyAndy Van Der Meyde came out of the famed Ajax academy in the Nineties, and helped Holland reach the Euro 2004 semi-finals.He managed to avoid getting in trouble with the law, but he saw his personal life spiral after he encountered a turbulent spell at Everton that led to problems with gambling, sex, drugs and depression.He struggled in his first season with injuries and quickly fell into an alcohol and prescription drug-fuelled spiral, eventually quitting football at just 32.READ MORE SUN STORIES”You can quickly go off the rails because there is no limit and you could do what you wanted,” he previously said. “It was going out and drinking, and not thinking of reality.”Andy van der Meyde pictured during a photo shoot in January 2015 at his house in The NetherlandsCredit: Getty – Contributor More
