Gervonta Davis Says Jake Paul Needs to Fight Him

WBA lightweight champion (61.2 kg / 135 lbs) Gervonta Davis doesn’t believe the debate over whether Jake Paul is a "real boxer" is relevant anymore. The reigning champ is even open to stepping into the ring with him.

"Yeah, I’d fight him. Jake? Yeah, sure.

I’d do it for the money. I’d take the fight at 86 kg. Or maybe 89 kg… or 91 kg. No, actually, let’s make it 88 kg.

I think Paul can be considered a real boxer. But he still needs to fight a real fighter first — and that’s me," Davis stated.

Gervonta Davis is set to return to the ring on March 1, with Lamont Roach as his opponent.
