Claressa Shields Criticizes Jake Paul Over Gervonta Davis Incident
Claressa Shields has openly criticized Jake Paul for his selective outrage regarding the cancellation of the Gervonta "Tank" Davis boxing exhibition. The event was called off after new allegations surfaced accusing Davis of domestic violence.
Cancellation of the Boxing Event
Jake Paul’s boxing promotion, Most Valuable Promotions, announced on Monday that the November 14 Netflix event "will no longer be moving forward." Nakisa Bidarian, Paul’s business partner, explained that they tried to "navigate this situation responsibly" and will now focus on Paul fighting a different opponent later in 2025 on Netflix.
Details of the Allegations Against Gervonta Davis
Court documents have recently described an incident where Davis allegedly choked an ex-girlfriend inside a Miami strip club on October 27, among other accusations. In response, Paul called Davis "an actual walking human piece of garbage" in a statement on X.
Shields' Response to Paul's Statement
Claressa Shields expressed skepticism about Paul's claim of surprise, suggesting that the domestic violence issues surrounding Davis were well known before the fight was arranged.
"One: I will say this, I'm not going to say I 100 percent agree with what Jake said, but what I will say is that we all knew Tank's background with domestic violence before his fight got made."
"Before any of his fights get made, we already know he's got some issues with this."
"This is not his first, second, or even third time with something like this coming out."
Shields made these remarks during a discussion on X Spaces, emphasizing that the issues were not new and should not have come as a shock.
Summary: Claressa Shields challenged Jake Paul’s claim of surprise over Gervonta Davis’s domestic violence allegations, stating that such issues were public knowledge long before the fight was scheduled.
