Claressa Shields Calls Out Jake Paul For Acting Shocked About Gervonta Davis

Claressa Shields Calls Out Jake Paul for Hypocrisy Over Gervonta Davis

Claressa Shields criticized Jake Paul for acting surprised about the cancellation of the Gervonta "Tank" Davis boxing exhibition amid new domestic violence allegations.

Cancellation of the Davis Exhibition

Jake Paul's boxing promotion, Most Valuable Promotions, announced on Monday that its Netflix event scheduled for November 14 will no longer take place. Paul's partner, Nakisa Bidarian, explained they aimed to handle the situation responsibly and will have Paul fight a different opponent on Netflix at a later date in 2025. Gervonta Davis will no longer be involved.

Domestic Violence Allegations Against Davis

The decision follows court documents revealing that an ex-girlfriend accused Davis of choking her inside a Miami strip club on October 27, among other allegations. Paul condemned Davis on social media, calling him “an actual walking human piece of garbage.”

Shields’ Response to Paul’s Reaction

“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.”
“This is not his first, second, or even third time with something like this coming out.”

Shields emphasized that Paul’s outrage seemed selective since Davis' history with domestic violence was well-known prior to organizing fights with him.

Summary

Claressa Shields challenged Jake Paul to be consistent and transparent about Davis' repeated domestic violence issues, suggesting his shock was disingenuous.

Author's summary: Shields calls out Paul's selective outrage, highlighting that Davis' troubling history was widely known before the fight was scheduled.
