Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis: Dana White’s interesting thoughts on exhibition fight
UFC boss Dana White has given his thoughts on the upcoming exhibition boxing match between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis.
As we know, Jake Paul is set to square off with boxing world champion Gervonta Davis in an exhibition boxing match. Many have already been quick to question the legitimacy of the contest, especially given the size difference that exists between these two men. Either way, though, it seems as if it’s going to happen.
Jake Paul is an interesting character in the boxing scene and more often than not, that means that he gets involved in quite a few disputes. That’s included a couple of back and forth debates with Dana White which, more often than not, end in the two going at each other in interviews.
Despite that, Dana White noted in a recent podcast with Jake’s brother Logan that ‘The Problem Child’ could have some success against ‘Tank’.
Dana White’s view on Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis
“You guys need to fight guys your same size!” White said.
“When you fought Floyd [Mayweather], you are massive. You’re a massive dude. Floyd’s tiny. And I’m sure when you were training, you’re like, ‘all right, I’m going to hit this guy with a couple punches and grab him, tie him up.’
“And he did hit you with a bomb of an overhand right one time and you f****** ate it. You ate that punch. And Gervonta, I think, hits way harder than f****** Floyd, but he’s too small.
“I mean, your brother’s going to be able to get inside on him, put his weight on him, tie him up.”
