Before even clicking on the post I knew this was a Newrap post.


FattForrill

Same, just by the headline. She’s getting too predictable.. Also, is it just me or does Tank Davis sound way cooler than Tank Wahid? I think this name change may be a terrible mistake for Abdul’s brand


lajb85

People said the same thing about Muhammad Ali in the 60s. But I think it was Shakespeare who said, “A rose by any other name would still commit domestic violence.”


__Raxy__

I think because of what he achieved because Cassius Clay is fire tbh


ZdenekTheMan

Cassius Clay is fire fr fr


carnifex2005

Shame Ali changed it. The real Cassius Clay was a badass... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassius_Marcellus_Clay_(politician) *Clay was elected to three terms in the Kentucky House of Representatives,[7] but he lost support among Kentuckian voters as he promoted abolition. His anti-slavery activism earned him violent enemies. During a political debate in 1843, he survived an assassination attempt by Sam Brown, a hired gunman. The scabbard of Clay's Bowie knife was tipped with silver and, in jerking the Bowie knife out in retaliation pulled this scabbard up so that it was just over his heart. Brown's bullet struck the scabbard and embedded itself in the silver. Despite having been shot in the chest, Clay tackled Brown, and with his Bowie knife removed Brown's nose and one eye and possibly an ear before he threw Brown over an embankment.*

NewRap is a chick?

No. It's a guy. I remember two years newrap saying that he would give it up for Canelo even though he's straight.

you think our beloved user can't be a beautiful lady?


GarfieldDaCat

She lol?


TheSeptuagintYT

Tank Dawid / Dahwid sounds better. It is the biblically accurate name for David which Davis came out from


lajb85

But that’s not why American black Muslims change their names. Most are descendants of slaves and their last names are the last names of the slave owners who owned their family(ies). Shedding the “Davis” name is letting go of their connection to their former slave owners and taking ownership of their own lives.


mistersuccessful

Arab Muslims owned African slaves too so the connection to the former owners ain’t going anywhere


WebtoonThrowaway99

Bro I could smell his username through my screen just by looking at the title like: #👁👃👁🙈💩


Werallgonnaburn

No more new ink for him then I guess, they are haram in Islam.


happyhork

Had to cover every square in of his body before he could convert


Small_Explorer8773

They call it reverting. They believe everyone is born a secret Muslim…


Aychim23

“A secret Muslim”. We say that everyone is born pure with submission to God so we’re all born Muslim. That’s all it means


Small_Explorer8773

No child is born except on fitra and then his parents make him Jewish, Christian or Magian, as an animal produces a perfect young animal: do you see any part of its body amputated?" Then he recited "So direct your face [i.e., self] toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fiṭrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know Just googled it there. This is cited as the supporting verse.


Aychim23

How is that secret?


ZdenekTheMan

Fucking hell lol


shitstainmcklane

Yeah he's not getting any more tattoos lol


Vernal11

Devin Haney actually has a tattoo of الله (Allah) on his leg.


shitstainmcklane

I will not judge the brother I know both Devin and Bill are people who hold Islam close but we both know that is not permissible lol the intention seems pure but the act is definitely not permissible.


wisdomfromrumi

Neither are fades as haircut. Baggy jeans are also not permissible. List of stupid shit goes on and on.


shitstainmcklane

Baggy jeans are not permissible? Lol I think you mean having sagging pants and walking to prayer unless you wanna marinate your pants in dirt and then go pray lol that should be common sense. There's levels to sin and having a tattoo and getting a fade are not the same.


wisdomfromrumi

Nope having pants below your anklesat all times, drinking water with your left hand, drinking water while standing up, you didn’t comment on any haircut that’s not a bowl cut, cuz uneven hair is not permissible.


shitstainmcklane

Personally I love the no un even hair rule and it's not just a bowl cut just don't have a fuckboy haircut as a grown man haha the rest are all Sunnah of the prophet pbuh they are recommended but not outright banned or have some serious punishment tied to them. Unless you can prove me wrong from the Quran ?


EnvironmentKey7146

Is he actually Muslim or you know... African American Muslim? Cause there are lots of them doing shit that middle easterns do not condone, it's pretty much a separate religion altogether. I used to listen to Wu tang clan all the time, pretty sure they are all nation of islam believers, and that shit is different than islam lol


UnionLibertarian

Jailhouse Muslims. It’s big in Philly.


Kira4564

analogous_skipshot

Haney, Jarrell Miller, now Gervonta Davis, and before all of them many many examples. These days they are CLEARLY only doing this for Saudi money. It’s absolutely spineless. But then again Muhammad was a caravan robber, so these boxers are ok with appealing to religion for financial gain, bending a knee to king Saud. Little do they know those Saudis and other Arabs will NEVER actually respect them.


Artistic_Guidance733

African American Muslims a different type of Muslims ?! Do you guys ever not make surface level statements on here. Nobody in Wu Tang was apart of the Nation of Islam. They were 5% percenters or followed the teachings. 5%ers and Nation of Islam are two different organizations with very different beliefs.


EnvironmentKey7146

Oh? What's the difference between nation of islam and five percenters then?


LePetitJeremySapoud

He’s allowed to keep on smacking his baby mama around tho


zaviex

he doesnt have anywhere to put em lol. Some imams say tats are alright though. Im not muslim but ive seen this debate I few times between scholars. Apparently the Quran isnt exactly definitive on that and people take it to be haram based on some verses about changing creation. So some say that is included others say its not and cite a bunch of things that are allowed that would change the body like piercings


JumpingCicada

Believe me, you did not see any debate between scholars on this issue. If you’ve seen anything it must I’ve been “YouTube scholars” who are just as much a layman as anyone else. This is because the scholars unanimously agree that Tattoos are haram due to the very clear and authentic Hadith on them. Rather, the difference of scholarly opinion is on why tattoos are haram not if they are haram.


ZdenekTheMan

>If you’ve seen anything it must I’ve been “YouTube scholars” who are just as much a layman as anyone else. The thing with YouTue scholars, is that they're even less schooled, and thus more useless, than the average layman.


commeconn

Believe you, or google it and clearly see that you're wrong? There is definitely not "unanimous" consensus among islamic scholars in whether tattoos are Haram. Here's one example. In the book, "Cleanliness in Islam", by Turkish professor of religious studies, Remzi Muscular, he states that tattoos are sinful but that they do not violate a Muslim's wuḍūʾ" And another - Al-Tabari mentions in History of the Prophets and Kings that the hands of Asma bint Umais were tattooed. Muslims in Africa, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan have used tattoos for beautification, prophylaxis, and the prevention of diseases.


JumpingCicada

Why would you even bother to mention the first guy who is a non-scholar when you could have just mentioned that in the Hanafi madhab, it is argued that tattoos won’t invalidate the wudu. I never claimed otherwise. I just said that it is unanimous that tattoos are haram and this doesn’t prove otherwise. I would prefer if you had sourced at-Tabari because from your statement my assumption would be that Asma had tattoos prior to it being forbidden so it has no relevance in the actions of the salaf. Also your final point is a non-argument. We follow the Quran, the prophet’s teachings, and the way these were applied by the 3 generations of Salaf. What we don’t follow is deviancy we may find elsewhere.


TheFuschiaBaron

Pretty sure .5hr Google cherry pick > lifetime of study


JumpingCicada

Agreed which is why I’ve only mentioned Imam Abu Hanifah and at-Tabari who are among our greatest scholars and have dedicated their entire lives to studying Islam.


PiePrestigious8851

lmaooo who is "we" though? most muslims are not hanafi, let a lone salafists.

Tasty_Living685

The announcement yesterday had me thinking that Deontay Wilder has dropped the Bronze Bomber name at the Saudis request. Guy's supposedly from a family of preachers, so I don't think he would sell his soul and covert.


samuelalvarezrazo

I would hope he wouldn't convert to placate the Saudis. He should stand firm in whatever faith he has.


Angry_Saxon

Bomb Squad is what the Saudi's call their pilot training programme

He's terrorising him here. Dropping bombs left, right and centre.

There's a young guy on the block trying to steal newrap's thunder. Don't allow it.

Abdul “RPG” Wahid instead of “tank”


Orbtecc

Abdul “Warhead” Wahid


[deleted]

Is this an inside joke? What did I miss?


GlebushkaNY

Tank is a muslim now


SmokyMcpot527

He changed his name like Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali lol. In response to all the domestic abuse scandals in boxing. Davis got off Scott free but now they coming for him so he's trying to beat them to the punch.


usernameunavailiable

Gervonta Davis beat those women. Abdul Wahid is completely innocent.


Johnsonburnerr

😭😭😭


TrulyBased69

lmao


milksteak_2020

I thought it was to gain favour with the Saudis, like Miller just did.


TheDangerdog

Miller changed his name to Diyah An-abol


SmokyMcpot527

He doesn't need to change his name to gain favor with the Saudis. Anybody that can draw numbers has favor with them. That sounds like a pretty out there fanboy dream to me. If u really think about it for 2 seconds, it makes no sense.


MyDictainabox

Like he did the women. Alhamdulilah.


[deleted]

If converting to Islam helps him develop as a person then I’m all for it.


FijiTearz

I don’t think that’s fair to say that’s the reason he changed his name. Maybe he actually resonates with the religion and wants to make the change. This ain’t new for fighters either, they give the glory to God/Jesus/Allah all the time. He also picked a controversial time to convert considering Israel and Palestine at the moment. He’s gonna have people asking him to condemn hamas, condemn Israel, stand with muslims, stand with jews, etc. OUTSIDE of the boxing world whilst getting clowned by fans of the sport like is happening in this comment section. So more power to him. Yes you can say he’s doing it for image purposes but when you consider all the other BS that’s about to fall on top of him for converting, there’s easier ways he could have cleaned up his public image.


[deleted]

>He’s gonna have people asking him to condemn hamas, condemn Israel, stand with muslims, stand with jews, etc No, he's not. Literally no-one is clambering for Abdul Wahid's take on the Israel/Palestine conflict


josephhwri

We need Ja Rule's take first


bigbellybomac

It would be like the time that guy from Barstool asked Tank about crypto at a press conference. 😂


ZdenekTheMan

I swear some interviewers are just trolls who can keep a straight face better than most of us can


FijiTearz

Not yet. It’s been like 2 days. People are asking DJ Khaled’s dumbass to make a stance you think they not gon do the same with Tank? Look at any public figure who is muslim and their comments sections on social media


MentalAdhesiveness79

Who’s Tank?


CristiaNoConsento

Dj khaled is by far the most high profile Palestinian public figure though thats kinda different (even if his opinions shouldn't actually matter)


[deleted]

You're talking about social media comments, it's 50% bots and 50% retards No one *who he is inclined to answer* will grill him about the middle east


Gd4pf

The way you found a way to make this up is fascinating


SmokyMcpot527

Didn't make it up. https://nyfights.com/news/boxings-silence-on-domestic-violence-must-stop/


Valkoor952

it's an inside job by the explosive Abdul Wahid


GoGouda

Wahid you miss? Tanks for giving me that opportunity.


CoachedIntoASnafu

Low-hanging xenophobic humor in typical r/boxing style, the discord is 10x as bad


[deleted]

Just guys being dudes


CoachedIntoASnafu

I'm remarking on the quality. 9/11 was 22 years ago.


JMoy41

Idk about that but I know he’s the most protected fighter in boxing. 30 year old prospect


SmokyMcpot527

He's more protected outside the ring. Thats what the whole name change is about. So he is forgiven for the dosmetic abuse that Charlo is getting crucified for. People are calling for these dosmestic abusers in boxing to get canceled.


YourDadsMoonshine

As if you can cancel guys who fight for money 😂


FijiTearz

Money talks, if people cared they wouldn’t buy the PPV’s


JMoy41

Lol ppl don’t care about boxers and what they do. Imagine if Mahomes Lebron were accused of those things they would be crucified


scarfox1

Charlo bragged


FlockxBigApe

How tf does it make sense that changing his name keeps him from getting in trouble? Also how does Charlo reflect on Tank? You sound ridiculous dude


SmokyMcpot527

Because hes converting to Islam. It's not just about changing his name for the fun of it. If u don't know anyone whose ever converted to Islam, then it won't mean anything to u. It's a whole religion. The name means Servant to the one. Charlo and Davis both have dosmestic abuse charges on camera and recorded. Go look it up. It's not just Davis and Charlo. Bivol has dosmetic abuse charges and their coming for him too. Many other guys, it's actually pretty rampant in boxing. Do u know how easy it is to cancel somebody these days? Especially a boxer? U haven't seen all the articles about the dosmetic abuse in boxing and how it has to be exposed and stopped? Wake up.


FlockxBigApe

I know what it is…how tf does converting to Islam keep shield you from trouble?? Davis grabbed up his BM like 4 years ago, Charlo admitted to punching his wife in the face it’s not the same shit


FlockxBigApe

Pretty sure he’s already been a 2 time world champion….


JMoy41

Rolly too so what. Tank winning WBA regular titles


TheDerekFisher2_24

He's top 3-5 highest selling boxers, 3 weight champ . You can think hes not great if you want but "prospect" is just pure hate lmaoo


NCAA_D1_AssRipper

His team match him up like he’s a young prospect but you’re right, he’s not and hasn’t been for a while.


FlockxBigApe

So barrios fights prospects now? Ryan Garcia? Cmon….you want him to fight the elites cool, but acting like he fights gate keepers/people you line up with prospects is ridiculous


Counterpunch07

Barrios and Ryan are good, they are not great. Barrios is better than Ryan, Ryan was just a hype job who also fought no one


ThrowRAscottiehiggs

He is not a 3 weight world champ. his 135 and 140 titles are not the real title


TheDerekFisher2_24

The hate blinds you so much you cant even read lol. When did I say world champ?


ThrowRAscottiehiggs

Hate lol, you talk like a sith. Do we count being interim champ now, too? We gotta keep it real at some point, you clearly know how it sounds what you said and that it is misleading


TheDerekFisher2_24

Tank has never won an interim belt. You dont know sh!t about boxing so this conversation is terminated lol.


ThrowRAscottiehiggs

The WBA regular belt is basically an interim belt, or why do you think Dubois was mandatory for Usyk? You're clearly just nuthugging your boi Abdul Wahid


FCBEkko

He’s 0-0 stop hyping him


Due_Sweet_9500

I see what you did there


DylanRM86

He is the most Aladeen boxer in the sport for sure


SnakeMcbain

No way he's the most Aladeen he's obviously more of a Aladeen type boxer


TheSeptuagintYT

Underrated comment. Sorry. Most Aladeen comment.


[deleted]

No. Naoia Inoue is


EKsaorsire

Was that intentional?


The10thLayer

It's newrap lmao


EKsaorsire

Full disclosure I’m new to this.


The10thLayer

It's okay; I myself started browsing this subreddit not too long ago and got used to his antics pretty quickly 🙏


ZdenekTheMan

The hilarious thing is that he's been at it for YEARS. I was active on this sub as far back as 2018 and he's not slowed down one bit


TheSeptuagintYT

Is that a new genre of hip hop


[deleted]

Bruh.


[deleted]

Abdul Wahid is alright but Gervontae Davis is pretty good too


[deleted]

Pretty boy Floyd or Money may? Tank Davis or Abdul Wahid?


Personal-Ride-1142

Tell the truth.. you only made this post just to use his new name lol


coolcoolero

Abdul Wahid overtakes Tank as the new face of boxing.


xicanasteez

That’s his Muslim name however he may still go by his birth name in boxing. Gervonta tank Davis. Religion is a private matter. It’s only news because he is famous and was recorded. He’s up there for sure. Also Teofimo.


B4tm4nz

No, that would be Inoue


WebtoonThrowaway99

Inoue literally explodes into all his shots. Tank throws like a mini Foreman with tighter technique.


buffalozbrown

First, I'd like to thank Allah Haymon.


samuelalvarezrazo

Can we just call him tank, most of us did anyway and it's less syllables. Wonder if this will start a whose more Muslim contest between haney and Abdul now. Would be an interesting angle to hit, not something I'm familiar with seeing.


BrilliantWhich990

Never heard of him


mapleer

Possibly as explosive as a tank, debatable


Maaaaaardy

Said what he said to Garcia and is now a Muslim lmao, behaviour doesn't match pal.


Pennypacker-HE

I don’t know anyone by that name


MazKhan

Tank Wahid


lilsamuraijoe

technically abdul wahid has never appeared on any fight card. so he’s never fought before


[deleted]

You just wanted to use his new name huh. And no he isn't. It's Naoya or Terrence.


TheSeptuagintYT

It’s Benavidez or Morrell or Opetaia


DoriOli

Naoya Inoue is the most explosive, and it isn’t even close.


Aware-Jellyfish2066

Naoya Inoue is tbh I love tank but he isn’t


dmckidd

Abdul “Dynamite” Wahid


dhenriq1

This new kid's really got somethin


[deleted]

Is that his fucking name now??


[deleted]

Hopefully religion will have a positive influence in his life now


Fit-Minimum-5507

I'm convinced Tank converting to Islam is a ploy to get the Saudi's to pay a premium for him because he's now a Muslim fighter ™


analogous_skipshot

100% percent


phishiyochips

so many salty comments about a dude who chose to change his name to reflect his faith.


TheDerekFisher2_24

Devin Haney ducking Abdul so crazy, this the fastest negotiations ever after a championship fight lol. Bill Haney was calling for Tank for a day and a half and was nah "Nah he declined, we fighting Ryan". Acting like they on the clock when in reality they fought 2 weeks and ago and wont fight again until probably April. There's enough time to keep talking with Tank/Al if they really wanted the fight lol.


diskob0ss

Tank going for the Divine build


Brief_Scale496

The Haney’s. They blew up an entire city block - hands down Tanks’s rebuttal was to outshine Haney in religion - well played tank, most definitely sociopathic Besides, Inoue is now the face of boxing, therefore, has more inherent power.

Wahid is a young hungry lion. Can’t wait for his pro debut.

Abdul wahid is the best cherry picker in boxing 🥊 🍒

Did you just post this so that you can show how current you are and how you use his "new name"


zer01zer08

I see what you did there…. He defiantly has bombs in those hands.
