Supremely confident ahead of the matchup with Davis, Paul has claimed a pairing with the Baltimore striker has been in the works for quite some time.
To boot, the Ohio influencer has no reservations about offering an early prediction for the clash — vowing to score a devastating knockout win over Davis when they lock horns.
“He’s (Gervonta Davis) been running that third-grade mouth for years now, saying I need to fight a real boxer. Well, little man, congratulations. You got your wish,” Paul said on his YouTube channel.
“Tank has been beating people up my size for ages. Since everyone thinks size doesn’t matter, I want you all to keep that same energy when I fold Tank in half,” Paul explained.
Fans rip Jake Paul over Gervonta Davis booking
Rustling some feathers in the boxing community with his booking against Davis, Paul has been bashed on social media in the time since the confirmation of the clash.
With the pairing with Joshua falling to the wayside, too, the Watford native has been urged to switch focus from a bizarre matchup with Paul and take on a fellow former heavyweight champion instead.
But when it comes to Paul, given his sheer size and height advantage when compared to Davis, he has been incessantly labelled a “weight bully” for accepting the controversial pairing.
