In the world of boxing, building a marquee fight involves months of coordination, promotion, and personal sacrifice from everyone involved. From intense training camps to media obligations, fighters often invest everything to make a spectacle happen. This was precisely the case for Jake Paul, whose upcoming bout with Gervonta Davis was derailed when the latter pulled out due to controversies.
The highly anticipated clash between Paul and Davis was being billed as Paul’s most formidable challenge yet. Scheduled to stream globally on Netflix, the exhibition had its venue, fighter purses, and promotion finalized. Paul, who continues to blend entertainment with boxing, was preparing for the biggest test of his career and vowed to knock out Davis in their exhibition.
However, plans came to a halt when Davis was forced to withdraw amid ongoing domestic abuse allegations. The development disrupted what was expected to be one of the most-watched crossover boxing events of the year. Following the cancellation, Paul took to the social media platform X and expressed his frustration, condemning Davis for the circumstances that led to the fight’s collapse.
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.

In his lengthy post, Paul criticized Davis’s behavior and addressed the impact the situation had on others involved with the event. Paul’s company, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), manages several prominent women’s fighters, including Amanda Serrano, Shadasia Green, and Ramla Ali. He also emphasized his commitment to creating a respectful environment for athletes under his company.
I didn’t want to give this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account. 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.

Davis’s legal troubles have been well-documented over the years, including a 2020 hit-and-run incident that led to multiple charges. He was initially sentenced to house arrest, but after violating its terms, his sentence was extended to include jail time. These repeated off-ring issues have contributed to ongoing challenges in maintaining his career momentum despite his undeniable talent in the ring.
With the Netflix event now off the table, attention shifts to The Problem Child’s next move. The fallout underscored how reputation can shape opportunities as much as skill inside the ring. For Jake Paul, finding a new opponent will be key to maintaining his momentum. However, the situation serves as a reminder of how swiftly outside controversies can disrupt even the most carefully built events.

The cancelled matchup with Gervonta Davis was expected to be the biggest test of Paul’s career.

But after Davis withdrew due to legal issues, Paul appeared on streamer Adin Ross’s show, where he became emotional while discussing the situation.
Yeah, bro, I mean like, people don’t realize how much effort is put into these training camps. People don’t see their kids for months at a time. This guy (Davis) is such a piece of ****, bro, he beat up a girl and dragged her through the parking lot and punched her in the face. It’s a lawsuit in Miami Bay; there is a video. He did this in public. You have to understand this guy was sober and was just like “I am gonna beat this girl up”, he wasn’t even drunk or anything.
