Jake Paul shares AI kissing video with Gervonta Davis
Fans witnessed one of the most offbeat stunts in recent times when Jake Paul posted an AI-generated video of himself kissing Gervonta Davis. Paul is set to fight Davis very soon. In this clip, Paul locks lips with Davis during a staredown.
Paul posted this clip from his X account and captioned it, “They can never make me hate you spanky tanky ?.” The YouTuber-turned boxer further posted this clip on Instagram, with the caption, “Send to your lover ❤️,” He added another note, “No matter what they say I’ll always love you spanky tanky <3.”
The video has generated over 1.4 million views on X within the first day of Paul posting it. The response on Instagram was also wild, with over 100,000 likes and many comments.
This is a shocking development for most fans. It is especially surprising since the two did not seem to get along very well when they interacted face-to-face at a recent Miami press conference. The two heated things up during the exchange.
This fight had already generated hype because of the massive difference in the size of the fighters. Davis last fought at lightweight, while Paul fought as cruiserweight. With such a difference in their past fights and fighting styles, this match had already garnered a lot of attention.
Now it seems that the new video has further escalated things for the two players ahead of the fight.
