I’m so sorry to everyone involved. Mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at MVP and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight. Sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again.open image in galleryJake Paul (right) and Gervonta Davis at a press conference for their cancelled fight (Getty)“As for me it’s on to the next one as always.

Ngannou has boxed twice professionally, losing to Tyson Fury by a controversial vote in 2023, and being knocked out by Anthony Joshua the following year. “No, there’s no such thing happening. How can they go from Gervonta Davis to Francis Ngannou? I mean, Gervonta Davis is a fantastic boxer, he’s a one-shot knockout artist but come on…“The weight difference and everything, it makes no sense. Gervonta Davis, you count and say: ‘Okay, the size difference, he can level up.’ But at this point, for me, it makes no sense.” Davis holds a world title at lightweight, several divisions below Paul’s preferred division of cruiserweight – although Paul has fought at heavyweight before.“I’m like, ‘No, bro, come on, don’t disrespect me like that,’” Ngannou continued. “They even come out after and say: ‘What if the numbers are good?’ He [unknown] sends out some number, and I’m like: ‘It’s not about the number. If it was about the number, we could have started up.’ I’m just not interested, it makes no sense for me. It’s not what I’m looking at right now.”Francis Ngannou mocks Tyson Fury, after knocking him down (AFP via Getty Images). Paul reacted by tweeting on Tuesday: “Dear Francis – just say you already got humiliated in boxing and are scared to lose to Jake Paul. I accept that. You are light work my friend. Stuck in mud.”“Choose your words wisely boy,” Ngannou hit back, before referencing Paul’s points win against a then-58-year-old Mike Tyson last November. “I agree that you need someone to discipline you for what you did to Mike Tyson, but stay in your lane.”“My lane helped your lane,” Paul retorted. “I spoke up for you over and over again. No more. Look at yourself in the mirror. God don’t like ugly. Maybe the truth is you are a fake holier than thou actor, when it’s always been just about you […] Reality check…I sleep you in boxing and Jon Jones does in [MMA].”
