Jake Paul has hit out at "b****" Gervonta Davis for deleting a tweet offering the YouTube star a $2million bet.
Paul has made several enemies in the boxing world since launching his professional career and named Davis on his original hit-list last year which led to the pair feuding on social media. In his latest dig at the undefeated star, Paul predicted Davis would lose to Rolly Romero in their pay-per-view meeting this weekend.
Davis initially replied : “Do you want to bet $2million?”. Paul promptly hit back: "I pay your annual earnings in taxes." Davis later deleted the tweet to which Paul responded with a video message, narrating: "This tweet was deleted by the tweet author. Gervonta, man, you are a f***ing b****.
Paul has set his sight on becoming world champion and has emphasised his plans to fight Davis in the future despite their significant size difference. Their latest exchange was their first for several months with the pair having gone back and forth around Paul's victory over Tyron Woodley last December.
Davis initially claimed Paul "can't fight" while he was making preparations for his own victory against Isaac Cruz. Paul later hit back at the star, branding him a "clown" after his lacklustre performance in the bout. “I thought he lost,” Paul replied when asked during a media call about Davis' much-criticised performance.

"He didn’t throw, or he says he hurt his left hand or whatever - he didn’t throw a single left and some of the judges gave those rounds to him. I think a lot of people will say that and I agree as well. I thought they were going to give him a draw because he’s signed with Mayweather Promotions, Al Haymon and we know how dirty boxing is, how judges are being paid off. Of course, those close swing rounds would get thrown to Gervonta Davis.”
Paul recently announced his sixth professional fight will take place on August 13. An opponent has yet to be decided with UFC legend Anderson Silva and Tommy Fury in the running. Davis will fight Romero this weekend in the final fight under mentor Floyd Mayweather's promotional banner.
