Gervonta Davis taunts Jake Paul with clear message ahead of Tommy Fury fight

Undefeated lightweight champion Gervonta Davis has taunted Jake Paul ahead of his upcoming fight with Tommy Fury.

Paul and Fury will face one another after months of jostling on social media with the fight being held in Tampa, Florida on December 18.

Fury, the younger half-brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson, comes into the fight as the favourite with a 7-0 record.

Paul meanwhile, has a 4-0 record, with wins over fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, former NBA star Nate Robinson and UFC fighters Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

Whilst Davis did not predict who will emerge victorious, he claimed that Paul is not a strong boxer.

Davis told the Full Send podcast: "I don’t know, But I know that Jake can’t fight. He can’t fight so."

Paul recently released a 'hit list' of 10 fighters who he wanted to fight before he had retired - with Davis listed.

The two have also had a war of words with one another on social media, with Paul mocking Davis for his friendship with Floyd Mayweather Jr - who Paul's older brother Logan recently fought.

Davis is seen as one of the best young fighters on the planet - with a 25-0 record, including a victory in London over Liam Walsh.
