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

Claressa Shields Calls Out Jake Paul Over Gervonta Davis Situation

Claressa Shields criticized Jake Paul for his selective outrage regarding the cancellation of the Gervonta "Tank" Davis boxing exhibition. This followed allegations that Davis was once again accused of domestic violence.

Cancellation of the Davis Exhibition

Jake Paul's boxing brand, Most Valuable Promotions, announced on Monday that the Netflix event scheduled for November 14th will no longer proceed. Paul's partner, Nakisa Bidarian, explained they aimed to handle the situation responsibly and will instead focus on a future fight for Paul on Netflix in 2025, without Davis as his opponent.

Background of Allegations Against Davis

Court documents reveal an ex-girlfriend accused Davis of choking her inside a Miami strip club on October 27th, among other incidents. Paul called Davis "an actual walking human piece of garbage" in a statement on X.

Shields’ Response to Paul’s Reaction

"I have a few things to say about that," Shields said on X Spaces. "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, as Davis’s history has been known for some time.
