Gervonta Davis shares hilarious update right after shaking on $2M bet with Jake Paul

Jake Paul isn’t going to like this one.

The antics are underway for the weirdest fight of the year between Jake Paul and WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis.

Paul and Davis are set to collide in an exhibition boxing match on Nov. 11, recently having their bout moved from Atlanta to Miami after the Georgia commission wouldn’t entertain it.

Paul, who is eight inches taller than the 5’5″ Davis, towered over him in their first couple of faceoffs.

Paul and Davis met again at a second press conference on Tuesday, with the influencer-turned-boxer willing to put his money where his mouth is.

Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis agree to $2M bet, ‘Tank’ later says he’s not paying it

It all started when streamer Adin Ross showed up to the presser, offering to increase his side-bet with Davis from $200,000 to $250,000.

“I got Jake winning,” Ross said.

Davis replied to Ross, saying he’d bet him $500,000 instead.

Ross said he couldn’t do it, with Paul offering to split the bet between them at $1M.

“Let’s make it 2 [million],” Davis suggested.

Paul agreed and the boxers shook hands on stage.

Shortly after the wager, Davis wrote on X to say he wasn’t actually serious.

“He was never getting that 2 mil,” Davis said of the bet.

“idgaf [I don’t give a f—] what happens,” Davis added.
