GERVONTA DAVIS made a strong claim as the world’s hardest hitter when he demolished Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder’s records on a punch machine.
Davis has been dominating the lightweight division as he remains undefeated after winning all of his 28 fights with a staggering knockout ratio of 93 per cent.

The American boxer hinted he could also stand out at heavier divisions when he proved he can punch harder than both Wilder and Joshua back in 2019.
The then 24-year-old appeared on the Inside PBC Boxing show where he tested his mettle on the punch machine.
That was after Wilder stepped to the plate some time earlier and registered a record 927 with his weaker left hand.
And Davis delivered a thunderous left of his own to surpass the Bronze Bomber and register a staggering 939.
The southpaw also beat Joshua, although technically the British superstar tried his luck on a different machine.
AJ appeared on the Graham Norton show in 2017 alongside actor Martin Freeman, academy award winner Rachel Weisz and comedian Greg Davies.
All four of them tried their luck on the punching bag, with the actors going up first.
Weisz, Freeman and Davies recorded 182, 594 and 632 respectively in front of an impressed Norton.

But Joshua blew them all out of the water with a whopping 848 in front of a stunned crowd.
That means the 33-year-old heavyweight broke the machine’s existing record of 787.
Davis will be in action this Saturday against Ryan Garcia at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
