World champion boxer Gervonta Davis showed Lamar Jackson some love, then dished out some pain.

A Baltimore native and a huge Ravens fan, Davis wore a Jackson jersey in the locker room Saturday night before his 135-pound world title fight against Yuriorkis Gamboa.

Davis looked good rocking a Jackson jersey, then he rocked Gamboa in the ring, knocking him down three times on the way to a 12th-round knockout victory in Atlanta.

Before the fight, Davis gave a "Big Truss" shout-out to the Ravens on social media for wishing him luck.
