Aside from a few viral moments including their first face-off which showed off an absurd size difference<\/a>, it is believed that the events did little to build interest in the fight. And Greg Paul, the father of one half of the main event, was thoroughly unimpressed with his son\u2019s rival.<\/p>\n Greg Paul shreds Gervonta Davis after Jake Paul press conference<\/p>\n Whenever Jake Paul<\/a> finds himself in trouble, it is often noted that he clearly got his outlandish nature from his dad Greg. And that was on full display in a bizarre new Instagram video, where the elder Paul tore into Gervonta Davis<\/a> after the pair\u2019s press conference.<\/p>\n The 61-year-old reality TV star held up a sign that read \u201cSorry to the boxing world! Thank you Jake Paul!\u201d He captioned the post: \u201cUh duh uh duh um um November 14, what you say? <\/p>\n \u201cUh um duh, ax me da question again. Uh um what you say?? My team doesn\u2019t know what the f\u2014 is going on??? Are you from miami?? Uh um duh.\u201d<\/p>\n In the video, an enraged Paul asked fans if they had seen the press conference, before branding both Davis and his team \u201cbraindead\u201d. He proceeded to declare that if \u2018Tank\u2019 was the face of boxing, it would be a dead sport before complimenting his son\u2019s involvement.<\/p>\n Gervonta Davis claims he is retiring from boxing after Jake Paul fight<\/p>\n Davis has chosen the Paul fight instead of defending the WBA lightweight title in either a rematch with Lamont Roach or a unification with Shakur Stevenson. He today declared that the sport is \u2018dead\u2019, and insisted he will retire after the Paul fight.<\/p>\n Taking to X, Davis wrote to his 800,000 followers: \u201cBoxing definitely did a turn.. It went from this side to that side.. And this s\u2014 has no loyalty so why would I care? I move accordingly. BOXING IS DEAD.\u201d<\/p>\n When one fan told him to retire if he felt that way, Davis replied: \u201cI am\u2026 In eight weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul\u2019s dad was very angry after watching Gervonta Davis stumble his way through the pair\u2019s launch press…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,26697,9225,66150,435,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-171376","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-gervonta-davis","12":"tag-jake-paul","13":"tag-jake-paul-vs-gervonta-davis","14":"tag-netflix","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2236337784-1024x683.jpg\")
