Claressa Shields Calls Out Jake Paul For Acting Shocked About Gervonta Davis

Claressa Shields Criticizes Jake Paul Over Gervonta Davis Situation

Claressa Shields addressed Jake Paul’s response to the cancellation of the Gervonta "Tank" Davis boxing exhibition, which was called off following domestic violence allegations against Davis.

Cancellation of the Event

Jake Paul's promotion, Most Valuable Promotions, announced on Monday that the Netflix event scheduled for November 14 will no longer take place. Paul's partner, Nakisa Bidarian, explained they are handling the situation carefully and plan to have Paul fight a different opponent on Netflix at a later date in 2025.

Details of the Allegations

Recent court documents reveal accusations from an ex-girlfriend claiming Davis choked her inside a Miami strip club on October 27, among other alleged incidents.

Jake Paul's Reaction

Paul called Davis "an actual walking human piece of garbage" in his statement on X.

Claressa Shields' Response

Shields criticized Paul for acting surprised by the allegations, emphasizing that Davis's history of domestic violence was known before the fight was scheduled. Speaking on X Spaces, she said:

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 suggests that Paul’s outrage is selective and that the fighter's violent past was not a surprise to those involved.

Summary: Claressa Shields challenges Jake Paul’s shock over Gervonta Davis’s domestic violence allegations, pointing out the boxer’s troubling history was well known before plans for the fight started.
