If you were watching last night's fight between Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Hector Luis Garcia, you sw the fight delayed in the middlle of round eight due to an altercation in the ringside seats. It turns out the incident was a non-physical confrontation between hip hop superstar Meek Mill and former featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. (pictured). Afterwards, Mill tweeted an apology: "Congratulations tankkk!!! I almost fought a boxer telling him this fight not going 12 rounds -- I missed the big bomb! I have no business going back and forth that hard with a random person and we just talking about sports…so my apologies for wasting time for nothing! I had a few shots I know how to dodge those! Congrats Tank and Boots [Jaron Ennis, who won the prior bout]! I was nice to everybody at that fight, if you was there you saw! The blogs gone put up the aggressive part after I respond to something aggressive… everybody in that section seen my level of respect towards others… i just gotta step my response game up. I would never let no petty shit escalate to let somebody movie run. I just walked away .. I came to support tank and boots!!!!!! Good wins."

 

Former champion Carl Frampton chimed in: "Gary Russell Jr would have hit Meek Mill 5 digs in the head before he's even realised he was in a fight."
