Jake Paul’s exhibition fight against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis has been cancelled.
The social media star was due to face the WBA world lightweight champion in Miami on November 14 but the bout has been scrapped just days after a lawsuit was filed by Davis’ ex-girlfriend accusing him of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Paul launched a scathing attack on “walking human piece of garbage” Davis on social media following the cancellation of the fight.
The YouTube-turned-boxer posted on X: “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.
“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.
“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.”
Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) have confirmed the cancellation of the fight but are keen for the star to headline a Netflix boxing event before the end of 2025.
The group said in a statement: “Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly.
“While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025.
“Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent, and additional bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalised.
“We thank Netflix, the Kaseya Center, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino for their partnership.”
