GERVONTA DAVIS stated that Jake Paul is a 'clown' and 'cannot fight'. This makes him not fit for boxing.

After a lengthy war of words, Paul will face Tommy Fury later in the month.
Davis, 27 years old, spoke out against the social media phenomenon's impact on boxing in a podcast with Nelk Boys pranksters.
He stated that he didn't believe it was good for the sport. Let's just say that I have been training since I was seven years old.
"Like, I have been training for 20 years. Then you have someone who has never done it before, and is able to put on boxing gloves and make $1 million.
"That's crazy."
Davis was asked if Paul would bring more attention boxing. He replied, "No, because they only will pay attention what they want to pay attention too."
They don't care, they don’t even know any other fighters. They only know one man they are paying attention to.
"Once they stop watching him, they go about their day."

He replied, "I don’t know. But I know that Jake cannot fight." He won't be able to fight like that."
