Boxing ace Gervonta Davis converts to Islam, changes name to Abdul Wahid

Watch the moment boxing star Gervonta Davis takes his shahada.

Videos circulating over the holiday showed the hard-hitting southpaw from Baltimore converting to Islam in a ceremony held at a mosque outside his hometown.

The news was confirmed by The Brooklyn Banner, which spoke to Philadelphia-based Imam Hassan Abdi, who performed the rites.

Davis also chose the Muslim name, Abdul Wahid, which means “servant of the one”.

Allahu akbar!
