The Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis exhibition, originally scheduled for November 14 live on Netflix from the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, was cancelled following Tank’s recent legal troubles. Paul looks set to return in December on a rearranged date against an opponent to be confirmed. Since the bout was cancelled, Paul has spoken brutally about his feelings towards Tank as a person. Renowned boxing promoter Lou DiBella has appeared on the Ariel Helwani Show, where he addressed Most Valuable Promotions’ decision to pick Davis and previously Mike Tyson. Jake Paul addresses Gervonta Davis cancellation Following the latest allegations aimed at Davis, Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix have decided not to proceed with the event. Soon after the cancellation was announced, Paul posted his feelings on X, and didn’t hold back: “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. “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. “I hope you people moving forward look beyond his fake streetwear pieces “SWAG” and search for something deeper to be a fan of. As for me it’s on to the next one as always. Anyone. Anytime. Any place. Jake” Lou DiBella addresses Jake Paul’s decision to pick Gervonta Davis Speaking to Ariel Helwani, and addressing Paul’s and MVP’s stance against Davis: “Let’s face reality — Gervonta hasn’t changed who he is. He’s been the same person forever… If you’re saying we’re a company dominated by women boxers, we’re all about the women, you wouldn’t pick Davis in the first place. “If there was a real concern… I love Mike Tyson and the person he is now compared to who he was, but if that was your complete focus, you might not have chosen Mike either,” said DiBella. Have Jake Paul and MVP handled the situation in the right way? Who will Paul face next? Whatever happens next, this looks set to be a busy period for the cruiserweight fighter and his promotional company.
