Jake Paul to fight Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis on Netflix

Over the past 12 months he defeated heavyweight icon Mike Tyson who was 58-years-old at the time, and most recently overcame former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in a cruiserweight bout in June.
Jake Paul was supposed to fight Anthony Joshua while Gervonta Davis was expected to rematch Lamont Roach. But hey, this is boxing, so Paul will fight Davis instead, despite the fact that he outweighs “Tank” by nearly 66 pounds.
Speaking of weights, the size disparity between Paul and Davis is posing something of a conundrum. ESPN reports that “there are ongoing conversations about what weight the fight will be contested at,” since Paul recently weighed in at 199.
Lamont Roach Jr. wasted no time clowning Gervonta Davis after Netflix briefly posted a fight announcement that paired “Tank” Davis with none other than Jake Paul. Roach, who was supposed to face Davis back on August 16 before Tank failed to sign the contract, sent a clear message on social media, per SI.
