\u2014 MVP – Most Valuable Promotions (@MostVpromotions) November 1, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n This lawsuit has put the Paul vs. Davis exhibition bout in serious jeopardy, and this statement has many convinced that there’s now no chance the fight will be taking place, at least not on the scheduled date. <\/p>\n What’s more, there have been several reports from boxing insiders that Paul’s team has reached out to several names to come in as potential replacements for Davis. The first name to surface was Ryan Garcia, but Oscar De La Hoya (who promoted Garcia through Golden Boy) already shut this idea down<\/a>. <\/p>\n The three other names that Paul’s team has reportedly contacted to replace Davis are Terence Crawford, Nate Diaz, and Francis Ngannou. <\/p>\n IMAGO \/ NurPhoto<\/p>\n All three of these names are much bigger physically than Gervonta Davis. However, Jake Paul (who is listed at 6’1″ and last fought at 200 pounds) would still have a significant size advantage over Crawford (who is highly unlikely to accept any fight right now) and Diaz. <\/p>\n The same can’t be said for Ngannou, who is listed at 6’4″ and 257 pounds, and is arguably the hardest puncher in the entire world right now. <\/p>\n This has boxing fans on social media saying Ngannou would put Paul’s lights out if he did indeed step in to replace Davis. <\/p>\n “Ngannou?
