Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, the reigning WBA lightweight champion, is one the prominent figures in the boxing community. He maintains an undefeated record in the sport as well. Given his impressive status, he attracts significant interest in potential match-ups. Recently, WWE fighter and influencer boxer Logan Paul shared his thoughts on a possible clash with Davis.

Logan Paul, who is engaged in various professions, is also the host of the podcast show IMPAULSIVE. In a recent episode, he invited popular American rappers T.I. and Young Dro as guests. They talked about a range of topics, including Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance and the boxing community. Notably, T.I. asked Paul about his views on a potential match against Gervonta Davis.

Size matters, unfortunately. I don’t give a a f**k how good you are. I learned it when I fought Floyd [Mayweather Jr], size matters. I would f**king kill Gervonta (Davis). Gervonta, you’re a great fighter, but stay in your lane and weight class.

Paul seemingly dismissed Davis’ chances in their potential boxing clash. Interestingly, both the influencer-turned-boxer and ‘Tank’ fight in different weight classes. Paul is registered as a cruiserweight, while Davis competes in the lightweight division. This results in a significant weight difference of 60 pounds between them. Additionally, the WWE superstar stands at 6 feet 2 inches tall, while ‘Tank’ is only 5 feet 5 inches.

Although Paul is confident in his ability to defeat Davis, his boxing record is not particularly impressive. Throughout his career, the influencer-turned-boxer has participated in only four matches. Among them, there were only two professional fight outings where he achieved one victory and one defeat. In his most recent fight, Paul defeated MMA fighter Dillon Danis. In contrast, Davis has a far greater legacy.
