Gervonta Davis, better known as The Tank, is famous for being a mean beast who knocks his opponents out before they can think of landing a punch. His boxing career was spotless, with a 30-0 streak, until recently, when his boxing match with Lamont Roach Jr. ended in a draw and changed his record to 30-0-1.

But there is another side to The Tank that people don't see often. Besides being a total annihilator of his opponents in the ring, he is a complete pookie outside. In a recent interview, he was the complete opposite of the boxer he is known for. Instead of being The Tank, he was more like a pink electric bike.

During his interview, he was asked which emojis he used the most. After showing the camera a list of emojis that included everything from the dancing girls emoji to fire, kissy face, and the laugh emoji, The Tank surprised everyone with the one emoji he uses the most.


Fan reaction to The Tank's go-to emoji during texting

Which emoji would a boxer use frequently? The answer is something you won't be able to guess even if you were given all the time in the world. The angry face? The punch? No, the emoji, a boxer who loves to beat people to a pulp in his free time, likes to use the nail paint emoji. Let that sink in.

Among the list of emojis, the only one that matched his personality was the bicep emoji. But surprisingly, that was not his favourite. The nail paint emoji tells everyone there is a bit of a diva even in the most ferocious-looking beings.

This only solidifies that people are, in fact, like coconuts: hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Davis explained that he uses the emoji frequently, and it can be anything. He said,

"It's like a stamp, like, 'told you,' like, it could mean, like, you know, shut up, all that, it mean everything."

When they saw this clip, Davis's fans lost it. Whatever image they had in their mind about this 'boxer' was completely changed. Their reactions were even funnier than the actual clip. Here are some hilarious ones.

Another user, @BrynPicks, commented,

"He either zesty fr or he trolling people"

One more user, @JA33_NEXO, decided to troll Davis with this comment,

"I just got my hair done"

User @hermesverus made another witty comment,

"Every clip I see of this guy outside the ring is max levels of zest"

User @JamilaSkai noticed more than just one emoji,

"He has multiple sus recent emojis... Well well well"

User @NusoBaby made a funny yet factual comment,

"Personality doesn't match his exterior"

Gervonta 'The Tank' Davis is a boxing champion with the heart of a diva, and this clip proves that. Let's hope his opponents don't see this, it will be hard to take him seriously after this.
