Hall of Fame great Roy Jones Jr<\/a> has sent a message out to Jake Paul<\/a> after his showdown with Gervonta Davis<\/a> was pulled.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Problem Child\u2019 was set to face WBA lightweight world champion Davis on Friday November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, but their controversial match-up has now been cancelled after \u2018Tank\u2019 was named in a civil lawsuit regarding serious domestic allegations.<\/a><\/p>\n

Paul now finds himself on the hunt for a brand new opponent but has been granted some additional time to prepare after the event was pushed back to December.<\/p>\n

One man that has spoken out and shared his thoughts on the situation is four-weight world champion Jones, who has sent a stern message out to \u2018The Problem Child\u2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fight Hub TV<\/a>, Jones claimed that Paul \u2018knew what he signed up for\u2019 when he finalised a deal to face \u2018Tank,\u2019 who has had similar accusations in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cJake Paul knew what he was before he signed the fight. This ain\u2019t the first time he had battery against a woman. You knew what it was when you first signed the fight. So don\u2019t get mad and cuss him out and talk bad about him now. You knew what it was when you signed up for it. Come on bro. You know what I\u2019m saying? Let\u2019s not do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis now finds himself in a difficult position once again. As for Paul, the 28-year-old is now said to be weighing up a number of potential opponents,<\/a> with an announcement expected to be made in due course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hall of Fame great Roy Jones Jr has sent a message out to Jake Paul after his showdown…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253056,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-253055","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253055","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=253055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
