Jake Paul cancels Gervonta “Tank” Davis fight after accusations against opponent
Published
9 months agoon
Jake Paul withdrew from his fight with Gervonta Davis after “Tank” was charged with battery, false imprisonment and kidnapping by his ex-girlfriend. The two were scheduled to face in an exhibition match in Miami on November 14, even though Davis was a lightweight and Paul was a cruiserweight.
The fight would not be included in their professional records, but the winner would be announced either by stoppage or by two judges and an AI official if the fight went the distance. However, Most Valuable Promotions has now decided to find a modern opponent for Paul, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer calling Davis “true walking human garbage.”
Davis has yet to comment on the allegations, but his coach, Calvin Ford, dismissed them as “nonsense.” The lawsuit states that on October 27, Davis attacked former partner Courtney Rossel at her workplace and had previously threatened to kill her.
Ms. Rossel also claims that Davis “physically assaulted and choked” her on at least four occasions. He is seeking $50,000 in compensatory damages and a jury trial.
Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, said in a statement: “Our team has worked closely with all parties to responsibly handle this situation. While we will not be moving forward with this event, we still plan to have Jake Paul headline the 2025 Netflix event.”
“Details regarding the modern date, location, Jake’s opponent and additional fights will be shared as soon as they are finalized.”
Paul vented his frustration on social media, stating: “He was an absolute nightmare to work with. Unprofessional, bizarre requests, hours tardy for shoots. To numerous arrests and subsequent charges and lawsuits.”
“If you support this man, you are supporting the most horrible sin a person can commit… I am deeply sorry to everyone involved.”
Ryan Garcia was initially suggested as a potential replacement for Davis, but promoter Oscar De La Hoya rejected the idea. He explained: “Let me tell you why this fight won’t happen.
“Ryan Garcia wrestles for DAZN and Jake Paul wrestles for Netflix. Golden Boy has a deal with DAZN. Ryan Garcia has a deal with Golden Boy.”
Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn has not ruled out a surprise match between Paul and Anthony Joshua. He told iFL TV: “Just let me know where.”
Hearn’s comments were in line with his earlier suggestion that Joshua was unlikely to return to the ring before the end of the year.
He stated: “I don’t want to confirm it because you never know, but I think it’s very unlikely. Right now we’re all working on the February date, which is already very close to confirmation.”
Will stocks run out in 2025? I’ll say it again: never say never. Let me tell you, camp is in four or five weeks, so I have to fight.
“He hasn’t trained extensively in camps before. He hasn’t really thought about fighting beyond February, but now he’s almost ready to fight, so realistically I think as we get closer to November, February will be the return date, but never say never.”

Lewis Crocker vs. Liam Paro – large fight preview and predictions
Published
1 month agoon
June 23, 2026
On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
