Old footage shows Jake Paul’s stunned reaction to next opponent Gervonta Davis scoring sickening knockout

Watch Jake Paul react to vicious Gervonta Davis KO

Gervonta Davis has scored 28 knockouts during his 30-0-1 career, with the last of them coming against Frank Martin in June 2024.

Jake Paul watched that fight live, and his reaction to the finishing sequence was caught on camera.

The viral video has re-emerged on YouTube after the Paul vs. Davis fight was made official.

It shows ‘The Problem Child’ looking nervous, using his T-shirt to cover his mouth.

Just as he begins asking about the TV production, Davis scores the heaviest of knockdowns.

Martin didn’t move, and neither did Paul, as he sat with his mouth wide open in a state of shock.

The 28-year-old put his hands to his head before the camera cut away from his gobsmacked reaction.

Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis rules

Jake Paul revealed the rules for his fight with Gervonta Davis months before booking the mismatch.

In May, the influencer publicly claimed that he was very close to booking a fight with Davis.

The bout was so close to becoming a reality that the rules had already been discussed and agreed upon.

“I mean, that was on the one-yard line as well, but he has to rematch Lamont Roach. He wants to get that back, and then we’ll be back in discussions with Mr Gervonta,” he said on The Ariel Helwani Show.

“This is the nature of boxing. You have massive fights on the one-yard line, and they just fall through.”

“195,” Paul added when asked about what weight the fight would be contested at. “It would be an exhibition, 10 three-minute rounds. No restriction.”
