But, he was already a renowned athlete. In fact, Under Armor began sponsoring it. At the same time, Colo Colo was dressed by the North American company, so there was already a link that united those from Macul and the future champion.
It was that American Thanksgiving Day (November 23) that Gervonta Davis appeared dressed in Colo Colo’s clothing, attracting the attention of those in the know and not so much. In fact, his networks were filled with so many comments from white fans that he was forced to respond and promise that he would go to “a Colo Colo game very soon.”
In Macul they don’t forget it

What if they organize well and it ends up being at the Monumental? Dreaming is possible.
