'Walking piece of human garbage!' - Jake Paul-Gervonta Davis officially pulled amid extraordinary outburst
Oritz Jr vs. Lubin - Saturday - Subscribe now
Jake Paul has lambasted Gervonta Davis as a "walking piece of human garbage" after the pair's fight was pulled following charges filed against the WBC lightweight champion.
'The Problem Child' had been due to face 'Tank' in a catchweight exhibition bout in Miami on Friday, November 14 in the former's first fight against an active major title holder.
But Davis was subsequently charged last week in Florida, and faces claims of battery, false imprisonment and kidnapping among others by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel.
Paul's Most Valuble Promotions confirmed the fight was cancelled late on Monday evening, and the star himself took to social media with an extraordinary response afterwards.
"Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage," he wrote on X.
"Working with him is an absolute nightmare. The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the showing up hours late to shoots.
"To the numerous arrests and related accusations and lawsuits. If you support this man you support the most vile sin a man can commit.
"I didn’t want to give this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account. My company champions women.
"I’m so sorry to everyone involved. Mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at MVP and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight.
"Sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again.
"It’s scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture and sports, including in positions of power.
"As for me it’s on to the next one as always. Anyone. Anytime. Any place."
