Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis are back … whether you like it or not.
Just 24 hours after their kickoff press conference in New York City (see it again here), “El Gallo” and “Tank” will once again sit behind a table and say mean things about one another to drum up HYPE for their exhibition (and somewhat pointless) boxing match.
Today’s follow-up press conference will take place LIVE at 6 p.m. ET from inside Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla., the same venue that hosts their Nov. 14 showdown on Netflix.
“There
will be a victor because the fighters have agreed and the commission has approved,” said promoter Nakisa Bidarian. “A maximum weight of 195 pounds for this exhibition. The fight will be contested over 10, three-minute rounds, and when Tank and Jake enter the squared circle to go to battle, they will be wearing 12-ounce gloves.”
“Sitting ringside will be three commission-approved, world-class professional judges that will score every round to ensure there’s a decisive outcome for the fight if it goes the distance,” Bidarian added. “And both men are enrolled in the highest level of testing with USADA.”
Hopefully this USADA relationship proves more tenable than the last one.
“I’m much quicker than him,” Davis said. “He’s much stronger and much bigger, but we all know that it’s harder for taller fighters to fight a shorter one. He’s decent and he’s gonna hold up for a couple of rounds but once it gets hot in there, you know how things play out.”
