While many fight fans and boxing pundits still question his skills, Jake Paul has firmly cemented himself as part of the boxing world. Not only has he got the job done in the ring, but Jake has also been pretty influential outside of it too. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been focusing on his Most Valuable Promotions brand, both signing new fighters and helping promote the super fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano \u2013 even though his fighter, Serrano, ultimately fell to a defeat. On top of that, he\u2019s been calling fights pretty spot on as well, as he managed to predict the outcome of the Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol bout, as Bivol handed the Mexican only the second loss of his career. Though, he\u2019s not stopped there. On May 21, Jake once again tapped into his crystal ball to make some predictions for David Benavidez vs David Lemieux, as well as Gervonta Davis vs Rolando Romero. \u2018Tank\u2019 Davis wasn\u2019t best pleased with Jake\u2019s prediction that he\u2019d lose and offered to make a $2 million wager on the social media star being right about his calls. Though, he deleted the tweet shortly after the YouTuber wanted to get involved. That, of course, gave Jake further ammunition to take shots at him, labeling the Lightweight champion as \u201cmini man\u201d on Instagram. \u201cGervonta, man, you are a f**king b**ch,\u201d he added.

It\u2019ll be interesting to see if David responds, but seeing as Jake is involved, there will likely be plenty of questions about it both during and after fight week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul blasts boxing world champ for backing out of $2 million bet YouTube: HollyScoopJake Paul took aim at boxing world champion Gervonta \u2018Tank\u2019 Davis after he backed out of a $2 million wager about Jake\u2019s picks for recent fights.
