Gervonta Davis has finally spoken out to confirm his part in a bizarre exhibition bout with Jake Paul later this year.<\/p>\n
The current WBA lightweight<\/a> champion will take on cruiserweight Paul on November 14 live on Netflix in an exhibition boxing<\/a> match. However, when the bout was announced, he was nowhere to be seen for the first day of promotion.<\/p>\n Now, he has shared a brief message alongside a short video showing highlights of the pair\u2019s greatest knockouts. It serves to remind viewers how to watch the fight which is fast emerging as the biggest of the year.<\/p>\n Gervonta Davis breaks his silence on Jake Paul fight<\/p>\n Taking to Instagram, Gervonta Davis <\/a>has shared a video, edited by Most Valuable Promotions, showing both he and Jake Paul<\/a> landing big knockouts. It also gives instructions for where the fight will take place and how to watch either on TV or in person.<\/p>\n The caption is a brief one, with Davis writing to his 7.5million followers: \u201cSee yall soon..I guess! ATL gonna be too turnt. #The ONE.\u201d He followed it with a story post saying \u201cYes Yes ATL\u201d. It is the first time he has posted anything since last week, with the announcement of the fight being leaked yesterday.<\/p>\n The initial news of the fight came when Netflix Turkey yesterday released a poster prematurely. This was quickly followed by official news of the fight from Most Valuable Promotions and the broadcaster, who last year showed Paul vs Mike Tyson.<\/p>\n Jake Paul has spoken of the fight on social media<\/p>\n Paul has been considerably more vocal than Davis since the announcement, writing in his official post: \u201cGervonta who has been disrespecting my name for too long.\u00a0 His nickname might be Tank, but I\u2019m an FPV drone and I\u2019m about to disable tiny boy.<\/p>\n Gervonta who has been disrespecting my name for too long.\u00a0 HIs nickname might be Tank, but I\u2019m an FPV drone and I\u2019m about to disable tiny boy.

First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath.\u201d<\/p>\n The Goliath to whom he is referring is almost certainly former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua<\/a>. He is keen to face the Brit next year, presumably after this bout, and talks have begun already.<\/p>\n
