Jake Paul is once again hopeful for a boxing match in the ring. This time, as an opponent, he has Anderson Silva for the fight. The event, being promoted as Anderson Silva vs. Jake Paul, has been scheduled for October 29. Ahead of his fight with the former UFC champion Silva, Paul talked about Gervonta Davis having “God complex”, his opinion on the potential Garcia vs. Davis fight, and how Mayweather Promotion bribed judges to help ‘Tank’ win.

Talking about the Ryan Garcia vs. Gervonta Davis fight, Paul said, “A hundred percent. I’m rooting for Ryan in that fight. It’s gonna be a tough fight. I think it’s 50-50 fight. But you know Gervonta hasn’t shown really the ability to win a lot of rounds. Like with Barrios, he was losing a lot of those rounds on my scorecard.”

“Obviously, he is an Mayweather he’s in the Mayweather protection program so a lot of the judges are probably paid off to score for Gervonta. But Barrios was winning those rounds in my opinion until he got dropped. So if Ryan can just not get hit with those big punches, then I think he could pull it off.”

Jake Paul claims Gervonta Davis to have God Complex

According to Paul, Davis accused Devin of dressing like him. This led Paul to condemn Davis’ words. In his recent interview with FightHype, Paul, on being asked by the reporter, addressed the issue and said the following:

“I mean it’s just corny like Gervonta was just basically online saying that Devin dresses like him and sh*t. It’s like all people wear the same diamond, the same jewelry, the same watches, the same cars. It’s guys like Gervonta with God complex that think they invented fashion or they invented jewelry. So, it was just funny to see. Yeah, Devin’s my boy, so I gotta clown some of his opponents.”
