Jake Paul Explodes on Gervonta Davis After Netflix Fight Canceled: “Human Piece of Garbage”

Netflix has abruptly canceled the Gervonta Davis and Jake Paul fight, and the latter is not moving on peacefully. Originally scheduled for November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, the highly anticipated bout was set to stream globally on Netflix. But following a new civil lawsuit filed against Davis, both Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) pulled the plug.

In the lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County, Davis is accused by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and emotional distress. While his trainer, Calvin Ford, dismissed the claims as “nonsense,” MVP didn’t wait long to act.

“In light of the civil lawsuit filed against Gervonta Davis, our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly,” said Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of MVP. “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. Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent, and additional bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalized. We thank Netflix, the Kaseya Center, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for their partnership.”

Netflix echoed MVP’s decision and has confirmed it will continue working with Paul in the future.

But Jake Paul didn’t leave it at that. In a heated statement, he tore into Davis’ character:

“Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare. The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the showing up hours late to shoots. To the numerous arrests and related accusations, and lawsuits. If you support this man, you support the most vile sin a man can commit,” Paul wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.

“I didn’t want to give this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account. My company champions women. I’m so sorry to everyone involved. Mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at MVP, and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight. Sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again. It’s scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture and sports, including in positions of power,” he added.

For fans who already purchased tickets through Ticketmaster, MVP confirmed automatic refunds will be issued within 14 to 21 days.
