Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis could feature a four-weight world champion.
The announcement of ‘The Problem Child’ vs ‘Tank’ has received a mixed reaction from the combat sports community.
Paulie Malignaggi has slammed Davis for taking on Paul when he should be fighting at world level, and others have taken aim at the YouTuber for agreeing to face someone so much smaller than him.
Regardless, the event is likely to do huge numbers, with one superstar determined to showcase his skills in front of a massive audience.
Scary: ‘KO of the Year’… Jake Paul left stunned at ringside by a horrifying face-plant finish
Having recently defeated Andres Compos to win the WBA interim bantamweight title, Nonito Donaire is excited for his next big opportunity.
And he’d like that to take place on November 14, inside the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
In an interview with The Ring Magazine, ‘Filipino Flash’ said: “I’m hoping to get on the undercard with Jake Paul and Tank.
“That’s just something that puts my options out there.”
A loss for both Paul and Gervonta Davis would be nothing short of humiliating.
Suffering a defeat to a man he outweighs by such a significant amount would be terrible for Paul.
On the other hand, for Tank, falling short against a content creator would be disastrous for his brand.
Interestingly, an icon said whether Paul or Davis has more to lose.
