Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis is one of the most controversially put together fights of Paul\u2019s boxing career.<\/p>\n

Not long ago, it was announced by Most Valuable Promotions that Jake Paul<\/a>\u2018s next boxing outing will come against world lightweight champion Gervonta Davis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This will mark a huge step up in competition for \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 whose last outing came against former champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With there being a huge discrepancy in weight between the two fighters, ahead of their clash, Paul has agreed to the \u2018strictest drug testing possible\u2019<\/a> to silence his haters.<\/p>\n

Because of \u2018Tank\u2019 Davis\u2019 body of work in the sport so far, Paul has opened up as a massive underdog on the betting lines, despite his weight advantage.<\/p>\n

And the matchup has been slammed by former world champion Amir Khan who fears a tragic outcome in the \u2018disgusting\u2019 fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the popular prediction being that Davis will outbox Paul, current pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford<\/a> has provided his shock prediction for the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen with a 135lber going up against a 200lber, if it\u2019s scripted then it\u2019s gonna be good for the fans that watch,\u201d Crawford told Full Send.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s not a real fight, because it can\u2019t be a real fight because they ain\u2019t in the same weight class so it\u2019s more an exhibition. I think they\u2019re gonna go in there and spar, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna be you trying to kill me or I\u2019m trying to kill you.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more of a business tactic than anything else. Jake\u2019s too big for Tank\u2026 Tank is very talented, can punch hard and is explosive but\u2026 Jake can punch with that right hand, I\u2019ve seen it up close and personal, he can punch.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I think Jake wins by youth\u2026 Jake\u2019s just too big, if they really go at it he\u2019s just too big\u2026 Jake could land one good punch on Tank and it\u2019s over with,\u201d Crawford predicted.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul could win over the boxing world against Davis<\/p>\n

Despite having been involved in some huge fights over the last few years, the majority of boxing fans severely dislike \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 and his involvement in the sport.<\/p>\n

However, with a win over such a reputable champion like \u2018Tank\u2019, the 28-year-old could win over the boxing fans, showing that he does have a future in the sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis is one of the most controversially put together fights of Paul\u2019s boxing career.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,21474,6566,101,9553,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-115151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-gervonta-davis","10":"tag-jake-paul","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-terence-crawford","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
