Claressa Shields Criticizes Jake Paul Over Gervonta Davis Exhibition Cancellation
Claressa Shields has publicly challenged Jake Paul regarding his reaction to the cancellation of the Gervonta "Tank" Davis boxing exhibition. The event was called off following new allegations of domestic violence against Davis.
Event Cancellation and Response
Jake Paul's boxing promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions, announced on Monday that their Netflix event scheduled for November 14 will no longer take place. Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's business partner, explained they are handling the situation responsibly and intend to have Paul fight a different opponent in 2025 on Netflix. Davis will not be involved in the rescheduled match.
Domestic Violence Allegations
Recent court documents reveal that an ex-girlfriend accused Davis of choking her inside a Miami strip club on October 27. Paul responded harshly on X, calling Davis "an actual walking human piece of garbage."
Shields' Perspective
"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 implies that Paul's surprise is disingenuous, emphasizing that Davis’s history of domestic violence allegations was already known prior to arranging his fights.
Author's summary: Claressa Shields calls out Jake Paul for feigning shock over Gervonta Davis's domestic violence allegations, asserting Davis's troubled past was well-known before his bouts were scheduled.
