Jake Paul’s Fiery Words For Gervonta Davis After Fight Cancellation
Don’t hold your breath for a Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis fight anytime soon. The highly anticipated Nov. 14 Netflix exhibition match has officially been scrapped. According to Paul’s promotional company, MVP, the decision came after Gervonta “Tank” Davis was hit with a new wave of serious domestic violence allegations.
In true Jake Paul fashion, the YouTuber-turned-boxer didn’t hold back. He unleashed a long message online slamming the WBA lightweight champion, calling him “an actual walking human piece of garbage.”
Paul wrote, “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.”
The fight was supposed to happen at Miami’s Kaseya Center, but with Davis’ growing legal trouble, it all fell apart. Davis faces multiple charges including battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, stemming from an incident with his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel on October 27.
Gervonta Davis Faces New Domestic Violence Allegations
The accusations against Gervonta Davis are disturbing. Rossel alleges that Davis assaulted her in a strip club’s back room, dragged her through a hidden exit, and continued the attack in the parking garage. She claims to have endured ongoing domestic abuse throughout their five-month relationship.
This isn’t Davis’ first run-in with similar allegations. He’s been accused of domestic violence at least four times before. Most recently, he was charged earlier this year for allegedly hitting his ex-girlfriend in the head and slapping her during a Father’s Day dispute. That case was later dropped after the woman decided not to pursue prosecution.
Paul’s comments reflect growing frustration across the boxing world about Davis’ recurring behavior and how it’s been handled publicly. Fans have taken to social media with mixed reactions—some applauding Paul for standing up, others calling him out for hypocrisy given his own controversial past.
Jake Paul’s Full Message To Gervonta Davis
Paul’s message didn’t just target Davis—it was also a broader statement on accountability in sports and entertainment.
He wrote: “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.”
What’s Next For Jake Paul?
While Gervonta Davis faces his legal storm, Jake Paul is already gearing up for what’s next. Sources close to MVP Promotions say Paul is looking to line up a new opponent before the end of 2025—potentially still on Netflix, as part of their ongoing fight series deal.
Given Paul’s massive digital following and his talent for turning controversy into clicks, a replacement fight could still draw major attention. Whether it’s another YouTuber or a legit boxer, Paul’s made it clear he’s not backing down.
As he said himself: “Anyone. Anytime. Any place.”
