Pro boxer Gervonta Davis explains why he wouldn\u2019t fight \u201cclown\u201d Jake Paul Instagram\/Jakepaul\/gervontaaProfessional boxer Gervonta Davis revealed why he wouldn\u2019t consider fighting Jake Paul for a ton of money, even though he thinks it would be an easy knockout win. Jake Paul, along with his older brother Logan, have emerged as two of boxings biggest names. The two influencers have gone from YouTube stars to throwing hands with the likes of Floyd Mayweather and even former UFC champion Tyron Woodley. Their bouts have attracted a lot of attention and there is some serious money involved, so much so that Jake is fighting Tommy Fury in December while Logan is reportedly duking it out with Mike Tyson in 2022. With no shortage of potential opponents, boxing champ Gervonta Davis weighed in on what he felt about Jake\u2019s boxing skills and if he would ever step into the ring with him. Gervonta Davis shuts down Jake Paul fight even for tons of cash In an appearance on the Full Send podcast, Davis was asked for his thoughts on Jake Paul and simply stated that he believes the YouTuber to be a \u201cclown.\u201d \u201cJake can\u2019t fight,\u201d he said and added that he\u2019d \u201claugh\u201d if his team suggested he fight the Problem Child in an actual match. As it turns out, even if there was big money involved, Davis still wouldn\u2019t fight the younger Paul brother for one simple reason. (Segment begins at 18:36 for mobile users) \u201cI feel like in my career I can\u2019t do that right now. I say that because I haven\u2019t put in enough work. I\u2019m not a Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao or Canelo. I still have work to put in,\u201d he explained. \u201cThat\u2019s like me in eighth grade trying to do something to who has already done their schoolwork and sh*t.\u201d According to Davis, if he fought Jake Paul now, people would view him as a \u201cjoke\u201d and is taking his boxing career too seriously to get caught up in that right now. So, if you were ever hoping for a potential fight between Davis and Jake Paul in the near future, it\u2019s very unlikely to happen, at least not for quite a few years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
