Gervonta Davis Comments on Jake Paul Fight Cancellation: ‘He Was Getting His A— Beat in Camp’

Gervonta Davis recently addressed the cancellation of his high-profile fight against Jake Paul, suggesting the decision stemmed from Paul’s poor training camp performance. Davis claimed on social media that Paul “was getting his ass beat in camp” and that he was prepared to dominate the bout.

The fight, initially scheduled for mid-November, was pulled by Paul’s promotion after allegations surfaced against Davis, accusing him of physical abuse and kidnapping from an ex-girlfriend. Jake Paul responded harshly to the allegations, labeling Davis as “human garbage.” Despite this, Davis insists the cancellation had more to do with Paul’s recognition of his inability to compete effectively.

Reports from the training period indicated Paul was struggling to keep up. Jake Paul trained with accomplished lightweights like Shakur Stevenson, but even with a significant weight advantage, he reportedly had difficulty handling their speed and power in sparring sessions. This lends some credibility to Davis’ claims of Paul’s camp struggles.

Addressing the legal accusations, Davis dismissed his ex-girlfriend’s claims by accusing her of pursuing money through such allegations. “Shawty has a whole history going after men for money,” Davis stated, asserting that because the accusations came from him, the public was quick to believe her. Davis remains focused on his career despite ongoing legal challenges.

The canceled fight details indicate a complex situation where personal issues and training performance both played roles. Jake Paul, meanwhile, has shifted focus and is now scheduled to fight Anthony Joshua in an upcoming match set for December on Netflix.

Key points about the situation include:

1. Gervonta Davis’ fight against Jake Paul was cancelled following serious allegations.
2. Davis claims the cancellation was due to Paul’s difficulties in training camp.
3. Jake Paul faced challenges sparring with faster, more skilled opponents.
4. Legal accusations remain unresolved but have not halted Davis’ career.
5. Jake Paul has scheduled a new fight against Anthony Joshua for later this year.

Davis’ comments offer insight into the behind-the-scenes dynamics influencing the canceled event. Both fighters are preparing for significant bouts ahead as the boxing world watches closely.
