It looks like Jake Paul has his next opponent. He will be fighting Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an exhibition match in Atlanta on November 15th. Interesting that Gervonta wants this to be an exhibition fight. I wonder if that is due to weight class issues or if he’s worried he’ll lose. Anyway, the next boxing spectacle has been set.
Is he the first pro boxer to jump into exhibition fights? Honestly I hope they don’t allow this because it just ruins the sport. Both of them are pro boxers anyway, so why not fight in a proper weight class where they can agree.
Right now it feels like they’re just ripping money from the fans without risking their pro record. The problem with exhibition matches is it could be rigged. The hype during the promotion might be exciting but once the actual fight happens, we’re not really sure what we’re watching.
