Jake Paul has gone from YouTube star to pro boxer with surprising deft, although not without his share of controversies. Now, he’s getting ready for a fight with another one of the sport’s biggest stars: Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. And he’s sounding very confident, at least according to a new TMZ interview, where Paul pledged he will deliver on the hype.
Paul Makes Knockout Pledge
During the interview, Paul reflected on the challenge he faces.
“I know this is my toughest fight. He’s undefeated, highly skilled, most experienced fighter I’ve fought. Top five, pound-for-pound,” Paul said. “So I have to have the best version of myself. I know how strong he is. I believe I’m stronger and more athletic, that’s pretty much my advantage going into the fight, but he has every other advantage. So I’m locked in, fully focused, feeling amazing already and just going to put on a performance and have the biggest fight of 2025.”
After being asked whether he was just focused on “surviving” 10 rounds in the ring with Davis, Paul delivered his headline-grabbing pledge.
“Tank is gonna be the one surviving,” he said. “I’m going to knock this guy out and probably create one of the most viral knockouts in the history of boxing.”
