Claressa Shields Criticizes Jake Paul Over Cancelled Gervonta Davis Fight
Claressa Shields has openly criticized Jake Paul regarding his reaction to the cancellation of the Gervonta Davis fight originally scheduled for November 14. The exhibition bout was called off due to Davis facing serious legal issues once again, forcing the cancellation.
Background of the Fight and Cancellation
The Paul vs Davis fight sparked controversy from the start, mainly because of the significant size difference between the two fighters. After the cancellation, Jake Paul released a detailed statement blaming Davis for being an unreliable business partner.
Claressa Shields' Response
Shields responded by pointing out that Paul was well aware of Davis’ troubled history when he agreed to the fight. She noted that Davis has faced multiple accusations of domestic violence and legal troubles over time, including an arrest earlier in the year that caused another fight to fall through.
"I'm not going to say I 100 percent agree with what Jake said, but 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."
Shields finds Paul's harsh judgment of Davis inconsistent, as Davis' character issues were widely known well before the fight was arranged.
