Gervonta Davis vs Jake Paul – Tank’s trainer reveals his only worry ahead of Nov. 14

Gervonta Davis vs Jake Paul has undoubtedly got the boxing world talking, whether positive or negative. Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Coach Calvin said:

“My only concern is, you know…the gloves. You understand what I’m saying? Because we don’t fight in 12-ounce gloves. We don’t use 12-ounce gloves.

“That’s training gloves, you know what I’m saying? I’m like, that’s two pounds away from Jake; he fights in 10s. Tank fights in 8s, so he losing 4 ounces. So my thing is, I said this, put Tank in 8s, put him in 10s. That makes the fight more interesting.

“Being great is really pushing the envelope. You get what I’m saying? You know, Tank don’t really care, you know. So when I brought this up, he says: ‘Dang. Facts.’ You know what I’m saying? So, again, he can weigh in 10s, and we weigh in 8s. Then we got a fight,” added Ford.
