Jake Paul has reacted to the news that his upcoming exhibition fight against Gervonta Davis has been canceled after Davis was hit with a fresh battery lawsuit from an ex-girlfriend.
“Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare. The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the showing up hours late to shoots. To the numerous arrests and related accusations and lawsuits. If you support this man you support the most vile sin a man can commit,” Paul wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

He continued, “I didn’t want to give this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account. My company champions women. I’m so sorry to everyone involved. Mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at MVP and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight. Sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again,” he went on. “It’s scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture and sports, including in positions of power.’’
A woman has filed a civil complaint in Miami-Dade County accusing Davis of battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and other offenses tied to an alleged assault at a Miami-area nightclub.
The filing claims the encounter happened around 4 a.m. on Oct. 27 at Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami Gardens, where the woman works as a VIP server. She alleges Davis confronted her in a private lounge, then dragged her through the club and into the parking garage, repeatedly grabbing, choking, and hitting her.
According to court documents, the two met in 2022 and were involved for several months. The woman says Davis had been violent in the past and had threatened her life on more than one occasion.
Paul called into Adin Ross’ livestream and claimed that the fight had to be canceled because there was video evidence of the alleged assault.
