Jake Paul kicked off his morning with a TikTok video filled with frustration over the cancellation of his fight with Gervonta Davis. The bout was expected to stream live from Miami on Netflix until a civil lawsuit against Davis led to its abrupt cancellation.
In Paul's latest TikTok, friends joked about the Netflix preview of what would have been the event. Paul responded with an irritated "Seriously" and told them to turn it off, expressing the irritation that has shadowed him since the news broke. When the ad popped up again, he reacted with even more anger.
Before legal issues came into play, Paul and Davis had generated quite a buzz for their match. Once allegations surfaced, promoting the event collapsed, leaving Paul adjusting to new circumstances. He has kept training but acknowledged how hard this change hit him.
Following Davis's cancellation, attention shifted toward potential bouts with fighting stars like Anthony Joshua. Rumors suggested a December showdown might happen, sparking excitement among fans. However, negotiations remain far from complete.
Paul dropped hints on Twitter Thursday about uncertainty over his next appearance in the ring, suggesting it might not be until 2025. Alongside this revelation, he confirmed plans to attend a Formula One event next weekend—a move seen by fans as another sign no fight will happen next month.
Other names like Nate Diaz and Andre Ward floated as potential opponents remain nothing more than speculation at present. While Paul remains in camp ready for any sudden opportunities—time grows tight to deliver anything concrete by December.
For now, Paul's irate reaction during that TikTok provides the most explicit view of where things stand—a fighter left dwelling on missed opportunities and an empty schedule after preparing for what promised to be a major night in boxing streaming history.
