YouTuber turned professional boxer, Jake Paul, is seldom one to bite his tongue. While making his prediction on this Saturday’s Pay Per View fight between boxers Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Rolando “Rollie” Romero, He tweeted: “Next weekend I got 1. Rolando Romero win by UD.” Davis, 27, responded: “Do you wanna bet $2million?” Paul, 25, replied to this stating,“I pay your annual earnings in taxes.”
Davis’ tweet was then deleted and the YouTube star-turned prizefighter hit out at the two-weight world champion. Jake took to Instagram: “This tweet was deleted by the tweet author. Gervonta, man, you are a f***ing b****.” Davis has been critical of the celebrity fighter in the past, once calling him a “clown”. Maybe this is where the bad blood is stemming from. However, he recently offered rare praise for Paul while speaking on the I AM ATHLETE podcast.
Davis said: “If they pick his fight right. I think he’s decent, yeah like he’s good.” He continued, “I mean he’s not good. But, he’s going that way if he’s continuing to do like, stay in the gym.”
Paul last fought in December in a short-notice rematch against Tyron Woodley, 40, after Tommy Fury, 23, pulled out. He knocked out replacement Woodley, having previously beaten the ex-UFC champion on points in August.
It added to KOs over gamer ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.
Paul recently announced he will return on August 13 for his sixth professional bout.
