The saga began when Gervonta Davis was interviewed and asked about Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson.
In a moment that seemed like pure fun, Davis responded, “Yeah, tell him this is my call-out. Jake Paul, waddup? Waddup, Jake Paul?” Davis seemed to be lighthearted, but that didn’t stop Jake Paul from taking the opportunity to fire back.
In the clip, Gervonta Davis appears confident as he addresses Jake directly. The interviewer, trying to get Davis’s take on the fight between Jake and Tyson, posed the question, “Is Jake Paul someone you’d want to take on at some point?” Davis responds with a cocky attitude, saying, “Yeah, tell him this is my call-out.”
His nonchalant yet bold delivery had fans wondering if Davis was truly calling out Jake Paul for a potential fight or just messing around. Either way, the video spread like wildfire across social media.
But Jake Paul was quick to respond, and his tweet stirred even more buzz.
Paul didn’t hold back, taking a jab at Davis’s size by referring to him as a “little tank” and also throwing shade at Davis’s previous comments about women’s boxing champions Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor.
In his tweet, Paul also mocked Davis’s press conference, calling it “budget basic.” This tweet amplified the trolling and created an even bigger divide among fans, with some cheering for Paul’s quick-witted comebacks, while others criticized him for trying to belittle Davis.
Naturally, Paul’s tweet set the internet ablaze. X users flocked to the platform to share their thoughts, and the reactions were mixed.
Some fans enjoyed the back-and-forth, praising Jake for his humorous retorts and seeing it as a continuation of his character as the ultimate troll. Others felt that the entire exchange was just another example of Paul trying to stay relevant by picking fights with high-profile boxers.
The overall consensus? Fans loved the drama, but whether or not the fight would happen seemed uncertain. Many expressed doubt about Paul actually stepping into the ring with a fighter of Davis’s caliber, while others continued to enjoy the playful banter between the two.
The rivalry between Paul and Davis is far from over, and both fighters continue to entertain their fans with their social media exchanges. While the idea of a Paul vs. Davis fight remains speculative, the banter and trolling have only added fuel to the fire.
Whether it’s a matter of genuine animosity or just a way for both athletes to stay in the limelight, one thing is certain: their rivalry is one that fans are eager to follow. Only time will tell if this trash talk will lead to an actual showdown in the ring or if it’s just another chapter in the ongoing saga of Paul’s celebrity antics.
