Jake Paul recently took to social media to criticize Gervonta Davis, following their fight cancellation. He called out the lightweight champion for his “unprofessional” behavior during their time working together and for his “allegations and lawsuits.” The pair was scheduled to face off on November 14 in Miami, but the bout was officially canceled after Davis was accused of battery and kidnapping by his ex-girlfriend.
Jake Paul calls out Gervonta Davis after their fight gets canceled
Paul took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a lengthy note, criticizing Davis after their fight cancellation. He tweeted, “Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare. The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the showing up hours late to shoots. To the numerous arrests and related accusations and lawsuits. If you support this man, you support the most vile sin a man can commit.”
He called him a “woman abuser,” mentioning that he doesn’t want to give him a platform to increase either his following or his bank account. He further apologized to his company and everyone involved in the procedure to make the bout happen.
“My company champions women. I’m so sorry to everyone involved. Mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at MVP, and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight. Sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again. It’s scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture and sports, including in positions of power,” he further added.
He concluded his lengthy message with “I hope you people moving forward look beyond his fake streetwear pieces ‘SWAG” and search for something deeper to be a fan of. As for me it’s on to the next one as always. Anyone. Anytime. Any place.”
For those unfamiliar, Davis is accused of “battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress” by his former girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, according to the lawsuit received by ESPN.
