According to multiple social media posts, gunshots were heard outside of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday night. This came after Gervonta Davis knocked out Rolly Romero.
This came shortly after the sixth-round knockout by Davis. Those, who were nearby, had to run for safety.
“Frightening moments,” Sports Illustrated writer Chris Mannix said. “Hundreds of fans started to rush back into the arena from the concourse. People — including media — ducking for cover.”

Mannix initially said that gunshots could be heard inside the arena. However, he later clarified his post.
“No shots were fired inside Barclays, a source told SI,” he later said. “Whatever happened took place just outside the building.”
At the time of publication, we do not know if anyone of injured by the bullets. Or if any suspect or suspects have been arrested.

At the end of Davis’s fight, he was being interviewed by Jim Gray. Davis commented that his fists were “guns.”
