YouTube sensation turned professional boxer Jake Paul has unleashed a furious tirade against undefeated champion Gervonta Davis, accusing him of 'unprofessional' conduct that exposes everything wrong with modern boxing.
The social media star turned pugilist revealed plans for a Miami showdown with Davis were scuppered when 'Tank' failed to appear for a scheduled face-off, leaving Paul fuming at what he perceives as disrespect toward the sport.
The Miami No-Show That Sparked the Feud
Paul didn't mince words when discussing Davis's absence from their planned meeting in Miami. 'He's unprofessional and that's what's wrong with boxing,' Paul declared, highlighting what he sees as a lack of commitment from established champions toward growing the sport.
The Problem Child has built his boxing career on calling out established fighters and delivering spectacular knockouts, but this latest incident suggests even his considerable influence can't guarantee cooperation from boxing's traditional stars.
Paul's Mission to 'Save Boxing'
Despite the setback, Paul remains determined to secure high-profile matches. 'I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing, saving boxing and taking these big fights,' he asserted during the interview.
The 27-year-old content creator turned athlete has repeatedly positioned himself as a disruptor in the boxing world, claiming to bring new audiences and energy to a sport he believes has grown stagnant under traditional management.
What's Next for The Problem Child?
While the Davis fight appears temporarily derailed, Paul's ambitions show no signs of slowing. His criticism of Davis extends beyond personal grievance to what he characterizes as systemic issues within boxing promotion and fighter commitment.
Whether this public calling-out will pressure Davis into the ring or simply intensify their rivalry remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Jake Paul isn't shy about confronting boxing's establishment, even when it means taking on undefeated champions.
