Claressa Shields has made it clear who she is backing for Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis. The exhibition bout on Netflix is set to take place on November 14.<\/p>\n
Since the announcement of the clash, one specific point has stuck out to the fans \u2014 the size difference between Paul and Davis. Paul (6’1″) is eight inches taller and over 60 pounds heavier than ‘Tank’ Davis, who is the WBA lightweight champion.<\/p>\n
Paul is currently ranked at cruiserweight by the WBA, a feat he achieved by beating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr earlier this year. Many fans and experts believe it’s a gimmick fight, yet they are still interested in the contest. It’s a testament to both Paul and Davis’ popularity. <\/p>\n
And now Claressa Shields has shared her two cents on the upcoming match.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his YouTube channel, ‘The Cobra’ said:<\/p>\n All I can say about Jake Paul fighting somebody half his size is, he\u2019s a f\u2014\u2014 bully.
