Jake Paul is not a boxer. Jake Paul is a social media algorithm that comes to life. The idea that he is serious about the boxing sport has always been laughable. The announcement that Paul will not tackle Anthony Joshua, but the 135-pound champion Gervonta Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) in a ten-round exhibition match makes it clearer.
Jake Paul fought one legal boxer anywhere near their lead, and he lost. Since Jake Paul was defeated by Tommy Fury, Paul has made a lot of noise and called out many big names in the sport. But when Paul’s next opponent is announced in a mysterious way, he ends up in the ring with an opponent who poses no real threat to him.
From former MMA fighters, or a 57-year-old Mike Tyson, or a crop boxer with nothing more than a famous father and an alleged Cartel Association, it’s almost impressive how much ways Jake Paul can find not to find a legitimate professional boxer.
Gervonta Davis weighed 133.8 pounds before his last fight in March. Paul weighed at 199.4 pounds in June for his previous battle. For these two to fight against each other in November, the best case is that the battle is a complete farce.
Imagine listening to Jake Paul, claiming he wanted to fight the best and be a world champion and believe him. Of course, it took two signatures to make this fight happen, and Gervonta Davis is also not blameless.
In his last fight. Davis was happy to earn a draw against Lamont Roach. After taking a short blow, Davis walks to his corner in the ninth round and takes a knee. The referee did not definitely have a Knockdown. Davis had a fighter’s explanation for what happened. “I just did my hair two days ago, and she put fat in it. (…) If you sweat and things like that, the fat has come into my face and burns my eyes. ‘
Davis seems to have had a re -broadcast with Roach this summer, and presumably did not do his hair beforehand. But Davis and Roach did not agree to conditions, even before he had a legal problems again (for which the charges were eventually rejected). Roach decided to go on, and Gervonta Davis was in Limbo.
Until a teenager suddenly browsed through YouTube, Jake Paul entered the photo. It is not offensive from every man’s financial point of view; Both men need to get kudu for a big money fight that will be shown on Netflix.
But save me the dialogue on how Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer, or how he will definitely experience a real challenger in his next fight. Jake Paul is drawing an audience, and there will be debates about his struggle. Just don’t call Jake Paul a boxer; Call him a sports -centerer.
