Cancellation of the Netflix Event
Jake Paul’s boxing promotion, Most Valuable Promotions, announced on Monday that their scheduled Netflix event for November 14th "will no longer be moving forward." Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's business partner, explained that they are trying to handle the situation responsibly and plan for Paul to fight a different opponent on Netflix at a later date in 2025. As a result, Davis will no longer participate.
Domestic Violence Allegations Against Gervonta Davis
Recent court documents reveal that an ex-girlfriend accused Davis of choking her inside a Miami strip club on October 27th, among other incidents. Jake Paul condemned Davis in a statement on X, calling him "an actual walking human piece of garbage."
Shields Responds to Paul's Reaction
"I have a few things to say about that. One: I will say this, I'm not going to say I 100 percent agree with what Jake said, but what I will say is that we all knew Tank's background with domestic violence before his fight got made."
"Before any of his fights get made, we already know he's got some issues with this."
Shields emphasized that this is not the first time domestic violence allegations have surfaced against Davis.
Summary
Claressa Shields challenges Jake Paul's surprise over the Gervonta Davis fight cancellation, pointing out that Davis's history of domestic violence was well-known prior to the fight arrangements.
