The social media star declared himself Davis’ ‘karmic retribution’, before jokingly declaring that he will be fighting with an ankle monitor on. Paul then invited ‘clowns’ on stage, before invoking his rival’s history of legal issues.
When the pair did face-off, it only got physical when the pair touched each other on the shoulder to truly size one another up. They looked comically mismatched, with the 6’2″ Paul towering over 5’5″ Davis.
Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis rules confirmed for Netflix showdown
Before the press conference fully began, Most Valuable Promotions boss Nakisa Bidarian came on stage to confirm the rules for the bout. There had been speculation that it would be an unscored exhibition similar to Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather, but that was put to bed by the former UFC CFO.
Despite the fact that the bout is an exhibition, Bidarian confirmed that there will be a definitive winner, decided by three judges if needed. The three judges will be commission approved and world championship level, and will score on a 10-point must system over ten rounds of three minutes.
