3<\/p>\n Paul is often criticised for his boxing venturesCredit: Getty<\/p>\n The pair have been linked to fighting in the past, with Paul surprisingly naming Davis as a target opponent back in 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now that an exhibition bout between them has finally been made official, the boxing fraternity have not held back in voicing their opinions on the ‘freak show’ match-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n Former super middleweight world champion, Froch, has since joined in to share his stance on the matter.<\/p>\n He said on his YouTube channel: \u201cIt\u2019s seven weight divisions, it would not be allowed. This is why it\u2019s an exhibition. <\/p>\n “It would not be licensed in anyone\u2019s real world of\u00a0boxing. No one would sanction it because it\u2019s dangerous.<\/p>\n \u201cIs there a chance that Jake Paul<\/a> could clip Gervonta Davis<\/a>, hurt him and knock him out? Probably not, but if he did land a big right hand swing, shoot from the hip and connect on Davis\u2019s chin, there\u2019s a chance that Davis could be seriously injured by somebody that\u2019s five stone heavier. <\/p>\n “He won\u2019t be used to being hit like that.\u201d<\/p>\n The concern that Froch has voiced is one that could have serious implications for Davis, considering the give-or-take 65lbs difference between the two men.<\/p>\n Paul’s most recent outing saw him compete at the cruiserweight limit of 200lbs, whereas Davis fights at 135lbs.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old has 30 wins on his record, as well as a recent controversial draw against Roach.<\/a><\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n Davis is far smaller than Paul and could face troubles despite their skill gapCredit: GETTY<\/p>\n Although, Davis passed on the opportunity to defend his WBA lightweight title in a rematch with his rival in order to pursue ‘The Problem Child’.<\/p>\n It is likely the bout will be fought under exhibition rules<\/a>, with professional sanctioning seen as unlikely.<\/p>\n What is Jake Paul’s experience in professional boxing so far?<\/p>\n Paul turned professional back in 2020 and has lost one of his 13 fights since then.<\/p>\n The one man to hand him a loss was Tommy Fury<\/a>, who claimed a split decision win when fought in 2023.<\/p>\n Despite his controversial reputation, Paul has been linked with huge potential opponents in his five years on the scene.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old bounced back to winning ways from his only career loss, even going on to beat heavyweight Mike Tyson<\/a> when they shared the ring in November.<\/a><\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n The showdown will be streamed on NetflixCredit: talkSPORT<\/p>\n More recently he was believed to be in advanced talks with none other than<\/a> Anthony Joshua<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Paul](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/jake-paul-celebrates-victory-julio-1006330400.jpg\")
