The end of the boxing road is near for Gervonta Davis. Quite early than most of the boxing fans had anticipated. But what’s there for him in 2025? Will he produce an active year? That’s still under the wraps, but he is not hiding his emotions towards Jake Paul.
Davis, 30, has been at ‘Problem Child’s throat since the latter handed a defeat to Mike Tyson. He declared, “You a whole bozo for this and you didn’t get the job done.” It seems the WBA lightweight champion is doubling down on his offense and has now issued a callout to him. However, the manner and demeanor left the fans grabbing their stomachs.

Davis, at 30-0, appeared in a conversation with Curran Bhatia, where the on-air host pointed out how the Baltimore native was a keen observer of Paul vs. Tyson and even reminded him of his comments on the same. When asked about the possibility of a fight with the YouTuber-turned-prizefighter, Davis said, “Yeah, tell him. This [is] my callout. Jake Paul, what up? What up Jake Paul?”

Unlike ‘Tank’s brutal and devastating punches, he had a calm and playful body language, which swayed the fans. They then took to the comment section and expressed their candid opinions on the same.
Fans have a field day about ‘Tank’s callout
One fan poked fun at Davis’ manner of call-out. They declared, “Weirdest call out I’ve ever seen. bro was calling him out for dinner 😭.” This is in stark contrast with his usual demeanor, as he tends not to call out opponents. The Baltimore native, even when asked about whom he wanted to fight next after he finished Frank Martin, didn’t do it.

A user pointed out that Paul, at 11-1, wouldn’t accept the fight. They wrote, “Jake ain’t gonna take this fight 😂.” Paul has faced criticism for his resume and his tendency to fight older opponents, such as Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz.
Someone had a different take, as they believed Davis would avoid the fight instead. They announced, “Tank won’t take the payday to lose. So it’ll never happen.” Some fans have mocked the lightweight champion for avoiding fights and not fighting the best in his division.
A comment explained the size difference between the two fighters. The comment read, “Jake Paul way bigger than bro.” While Paul last fought at heavyweight, he has admitted his preferred weight is cruiserweight. Meanwhile, Davis fights at lightweight, making it a staggering 65 lbs difference.
