American Gervonta Davis followed in the footsteps of his legendary compatriot Muhammad Ali.
Gervonta Davis has made drastic changes in his life. The current holder of the regular WBA lightweight title converted to Islam. In addition, the 29-year-old athlete took a different name for himself – now his name is Abdul Wahid.
So, the American followed in the footsteps of his legendary compatriot Muhammad Ali, Cassius Clay, but changed his name after converting to Islam.

Let’s remember that in his last fight in April 2023, Gervonta Davis knocked out Ryan Garcia in the seventh round.
