Jake Paul unleashed a blistering assault on Gervonta Davis after their extremely anticipated November 14 exhibition struggle was formally canceled Monday evening.

The YouTube star-turned-boxer didn’t maintain again in a scathing social media publish, calling Davis “an actual walking human piece of garbage” and detailing what he described as a nightmare working relationship with the WBA light-weight champion.

“Working with him is an absolute nightmare,” Jake Paul wrote on X. “The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the showing up hours late to shoots. To the numerous arrests and related accusations and lawsuits.”

The struggle cancellation got here after Davis was hit with a new civil lawsuit filed by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel, who accused him of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Most Valuable Promotions CEO Nakisa Bidarian introduced the choice in a press release on Monday, saying, “Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly. While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025.”

Paul made it clear the cancellation wasn’t simply enterprise – it was private and principled.

“I didn’t want to give this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account,” Paul continued. “My company champions women.”

The 27-year-old influencer apologized to these affected by the cancellation, together with undercard fighters and his MVP staff members.

“I’m so sorry to everyone involved,” he wrote. “Sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again.”

Paul went additional, criticizing the broader tradition that elevates controversial athletes regardless of their actions.

“It’s scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture and sports, including in positions of power,” he mentioned, urging followers to “look beyond his fake streetwear pieces ‘SWAG’ and search for something deeper to be a fan of.”

The exhibition was set to headline a Netflix struggle card at Miami’s Kaseya Center and had drawn vital consideration because of the large weight disparity between the fighters. Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) is the present WBA 135-pound champion, whereas Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) final competed as a 200-pound cruiserweight.

Fans who bought tickets by Ticketmaster will obtain full refunds, the promotion confirmed.

Paul concluded his assertion by reaffirming his readiness to return to motion: “As for me, it’s on to the next one as always. Anyone. Anytime. Any place.”
