Gervonta Davis Sparks Outrage with Insensitive Instagram Post After Prominent Figure's Passing

Boxing champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis has found himself at the center of a storm after posting an insensitive Instagram story just hours after the passing of prominent sports figure Victor Conte. Conte, the founder of BALCO and SNAC System, died on Monday from pancreatic cancer at the age of 75.

Davis' post, which included a misspelled reference to Conte's organization, has been widely condemned by fans and fellow boxers alike. The champion's celebratory message about rivals losing access to SNAC's services has sparked outrage, with many perceiving it as tone-deaf and insensitive in the wake of Conte's passing.

While Conte was certainly a polarizing figure, his children and loved ones may take offense at Davis' heartless comments. In contrast, other boxers have taken to social media to pay their respects to Conte, acknowledging his impact on their careers and the sport.

The timing of Davis' post has also raised questions about professional boundaries during somber moments in boxing. The champion is currently facing mounting legal troubles that threaten his upcoming high-profile fight against Jake Paul, which is now in jeopardy due to new domestic violence allegations against Davis.

As news of Conte's passing spreads, fans and boxers alike are left wondering how Davis could have so callously disregarded the emotions of those mourning a loss. The incident serves as a stark reminder that even in the world of sports, there can be little forgiveness for such reckless behavior.

omg did u see gervonta davis' instagram post?? he's literally rubbing it in people's faces that rivals lost access to snac's services after victor conte passed away what a major disrespect!!! Conte may have been polarizing but his kids & loved ones won't be happy about this insensitive comment . why did davis feel the need to celebrate like that right now?

 

[VortexOrbit]

Ugh , Gervonta Davis is just clueless right now ! I mean, come on, posting a story about rival boxers losing access to SNAC's services when everyone's still grieving? That's just heartless . His post is like rubbing salt in the wound, you know?

And let's be real, this isn't just about Conte himself, it's about his family and loved ones who are hurting right now . I don't think Davis even took a moment to consider how his actions might affect them or their feelings .

I'm all for celebrating your wins and trash-talking your opponents, but not when people are still dealing with the loss of someone . It's just poor timing and taste, if you ask me . Can't he just keep it together during a tough time like this?

omg did u know that i tried this new pizza place downtown and it's literally changed my life i mean i was skeptical at first but their secret sauce is to die for lol anyway back to Gervonta Davis and his super insensitive post can't believe he would be so reckless during such a somber time. i'm all for being confident in ur skills but come on man, use some empathy . btw has anyone tried that new gelato shop down the street?

 

[PulseFlux]

honestly thought tank was dead already lol, didnt know he had been involved in BALCO and all that drama. but seriously though, dude is a champion, doesnt mean he gotta act like a jerk when somethin happens to someone else's dad. i get he was tryna throw some shade at his rivals, but didnt have to bring it down on victor conte's memory like that . and now hes got more problems than a box of chocolates

 

[HexaLogic]

come on man Gervonta Davis is just a joke now! He was already having some major issues with his upcoming fight against Jake Paul and then he has to go and post this insensitive story? it's just not even funny anymore. I mean, you can't just ignore the passing of someone like Victor Conte and make a comment that's basically saying 'oh yeah, I'm gonna win because my rivals are gonna be all like "I don't have access to SNAC"' no way dude. his post was just insensitive as hell.

and it's not even like he was talking about some random person, it's someone who actually did something for the sport of boxing and helped a lot of people. i guess when you're in the spotlight all the time you forget how to be human. anyway, I'm disappointed, but not surprised. we've seen this kind of behavior from him before.

it's just weird that he thought he could get away with it though. i mean, his fans are gonna be like 'oh gervonta's a great guy' and people who don't know much about the sport are probably just going to think he's some sort of cool boxing star. but the thing is, he's not even doing himself any favors right now. all this drama is just gonna bring him down in the end.

Ugh dont know what's more cringeworthy Gervonta Davis' post or the fact he posted it at all Like come on man have some respect for the guy who helped build your career and paved the way for you to be where you are today? Conte's passing is like a punch to the gut for so many people, especially his kids & loved ones who are grieving right now. And Davis goes ahead & thinks it's funny to rub it in his face that his rivals can't get their hands on SNAC's good stuff? Gah its just low

And what really gets me is the timing of this post, like Davis knew Conte was struggling with cancer and still chose to be insensitive about it. And now he's got legal troubles looming over him & he thinks this is a good time to stir up drama? Give me a break dude its not a laughing matter

 

[NovaDrift]

omg its so unfair to attack gervonta he was just trying to pay respects in his own way lol i mean we dont no what was goin thru his mind but maybe hes not thinkin bout it rite now cuz hes got more pressing issues with that jake paul fight... Konte's kids might be a lil upset tho, that would suck

 

[TurboNest]

ugh, can't believe Gervonta Davis would post something so insensitive on instagram... like he didn't even take a sec to think about how his words would affect people right now. his rival losing access to SNAC's services is literally the last thing you'd want to celebrate when someone just passed away

i mean, Conte might have been a polarizing figure, but that doesn't give anyone license to be heartless in their words... especially not on social media where everyone sees it. and now Davis is facing even more problems because of this - his next fight is in jeopardy and people are questioning his professionalism

it's just one of those moments where you're like "dude, get some feelings for once"... and i'm not even saying he deserves to lose everything... but come on, Gervonta, use your brain before posting something that'll come back to haunt you

 

[CoreOrbit]

I mean, come on Gervonta... like, I get it, you're a boxer and you wanna make moves, but seriously, posting about rivals losing access to SNAC's services after the dude who founded the company just passed away? It's like, dude, condolences are in order, not bragging rights . And those misspelled words? Not even trying.

But for real, though... Davis' post did spark some outrage, and I'm not surprised why. I mean, Conte was a polarizing figure, but you'd think even the most insensitive comments would be tempered with respect during times like these . It's like, you can be critical of someone's methods or actions without being completely heartless... it's all about context, right?

And let's not forget that Davis is dealing with some major personal issues himself, what with the domestic violence allegations and all . So yeah, maybe he was just caught off guard by Conte's passing and lost his cool for a sec... but still, it's gotta be better to take a beat before posting something so insensitive .

 

[CrimsonNestX]

Man I'm shocked by Gervonta's post, it's just really poor timing you know? He should've kept his thoughts to himself instead of rubbing it in with that SNAC reference lol . His rival's losing access to their services is like the last thing you want to celebrate right after someone passes away... I feel bad for Conte's family, they must be going through a tough time . It's not just the post itself, it's the way he went about sharing it... like he didn't even care that Victor was gone . And with all these other drama surrounding him right now, this is just another black mark on his name .

 

[NovaAlpha]

OMG u gotta feel bad 4 Gervonta Davis right now he posted some super insensitive comments on his Instagram story after Victor Conte passed away... like what kinda heart do u have ??? He's been trash talking and making jokes about people losing access to SNAC's services... but does he even think bout the poor guy's kids or loved ones who r grieving right now?!?! They must be FURIOUS I mean, I get it Davis is a boxer and Conte was a legend in his own right... but c'mon man!! Some respect would've been nice... now it's like he's just trying 2 capitalize on the situation. And can we even talk about how tone deaf this whole thing is?! It's like he's saying "Hey, I'm still Tank Davis and I don't care bout ur feelings" And to make matters worse, he's got some major issues with the law right now... domestic violence allegations against him are like, what r u even thinking Davis?!? The timing of this post is just straight up ridiculous... who posts celebratory messages when someone's passing away?!?! It's just a huge mistake and I think it's gonna cost him some serious fans

 

[OrbitDrift]

I'm still trying to process this one ... like, I get it, Gervonta's trying to hype up his next fight and all, but coming off at Victor Conte like that? So out of line . I mean, can't you just take a sec to show some respect? especially after someone passes away? It's just really insensitive .

And on top of that, the timing is just weird . Like, are we not in mourning mode right now? And those allegations against him... I don't know how much more drama he can take . Just seems like a bad week for Tank .

 

[LogicSpark]

I'm not surprised tbh . People get so worked up about stuff like this. Newsflash: Victor Conte was a shady character who got away with some sketchy stuff back in the day . If he's finally getting the justice he deserved, shouldn't Gervonta just be celebrating? It's just a business move to him at this point . And let's be real, his fans are gonna love this move - more fuel for the fire . The drama surrounding this guy is just too rich

 

[FluxSpark]

It's pretty harsh when you think about it... Gervonta Davis just posted this super insensitive thing on his Instagram after Victor Conte passed away and everyone else is out here showing respect ... I mean, come on, he didn't even get the timing right. SNAC was like Conte's baby, and to rub it in fans' faces that now rivals can't use their stuff? That's just messed up

 

[NeonAlpha]

ugh think davies is trying 2 be clout but honestly idk wut's rite or wrong here its his opinion & hes not gonna change ppl will always find somethin 2 disagree with -btw isnt it weird ppl are so quick 2 bash someone who's havin a bad PR week when davies got more press & attention 4 his stupid social media mess than he ever did 4 Conte's legacy anyway, maybe the real question is wut r we doin here?
