This resulted in Benn’s promoter Hearn sending an official offer to one of Tank’s representatives.
However, a fight between them has not materialised and Hearn said he was told the offer was ‘insulting’.
This week it emerged that Davis has now agreed a deal to face Frank Martin next instead, and will be staying with Al Haymon’s PBC.
And in the early hours of Saturday morning, the American dismissed claims that he turned down $25million to fight Benn by publicly revealing Hearn’s offer.
In the email to Davis’ rep, Hearn wrote: “Gervonta asked me to contact you regarding our offer to fight Conor Benn.
“We would like to talk further regarding this fight and our plan would be to stage this fight in May in the USA.
“We would offer $10million plus an upside on the gate and PPV that I would like to discuss further with you.
“Do you have a good time to discuss this week? Kind regards, Eddie.”
