He said "if you in a position to help people, you should help them." Tank a real one.

[stoakcity]

Even with Tank being somewhat reserved / soft spoken, Luke still managed to get him to open up & make it a good interview 👍

[moneyp]

This is a great interview. Not asking the same boring questions that the fighters aren’t interested in answering

[Nobodycares]

Tanks demeanor as a top level boxer is very admirable. Not trying to be anything other than who he is but also still probably the most dangerous man in the room in most real life scenarios

[MrDragonOG]

How can you not like this guy? He comes to fight, he got all the skills, and he’s a really humble person. I’m Mexican and I feel like I can relate more to tank than Ryan

[RemyMac]

Luke did a really good job here. Brilliant actually. Brought Tank out of his shell.

[ayos]

Yo!!! Big Respect!!! To Luke Thomas for this interview and bringing Tank Out Of His Shell!!!
I really enjoyed this, we got to see a “GLIMPSE” of The Champ we don’t get to see, Salute LT, 👊🏾🦁🦁🇳🇬🇺🇸

[mully]

You can tell tank been through a lot growing up as a kid, he got a massive heart and genuinely wants to help others because he knows what it's like to need it in all areas of life, boxing saved him no doubt.

[einfamous]

Fantastic interview Luke. Well thought out questions and around the board as well.

[wilburhein]

"Help them for the right reasons" said a lot to me.

[ComeAndSee]

One thing I noticed about Davis is that he almost never trash talks anyone but the way boxers speak on him would make you think he’s Mayweather 2.0

[simmsation]

I met tank and had to interview him for reasons I won't say but everything you see here is actually how he was a few years ago. Respectful humble and cooperative. Wish this guy nothing but the best.

[tjcougarfootball]

Tanks is everything you want as a fighter . Smart, confident but not cocky, and understands that at any moment he could be beat so not overlooking folks is key.

[DmDaPDm]

Luke did a good job with this interview, Gervonta seemed almost too chill for the interview, Luke brought it out of him.

[grandmasterchooda]

I wish Luke did more interviews, dudes one of the best! Asks the real questions. Tanks a quite dude and has his problems but seems like a real down to earth person with all the money and fame he has. Great interview!

[tmharks]

That was beautiful what Gervonta said, "if you're in a position to help someone, help" such a simple philosophy that if more people of wealth and means would follow; could it be this world would change overnight??

[rem]

the thumbnail has me in tears. it looks like Luke is scolding a delighted child.

[MeW_]

Luke gives the best interviews in the game right now. Professionalism is always key👌🏽

[JussinGomez]

Gotta admit it, this was a great interview. Tank has such a great personality he’s a real stand up dude. I support him

[lort]

Tank really knows his stuff when it comes to who his opponent is and boxing in general. Most boxers always say they never watch their opponent. That's a lie how do one know their fighters tendencies and their history without doing some type of research. Salute to Tank for actually keeping it real about himself and others 💪🏿💯
