George Groves Gives Honest 3-Word Verdict on Paul’s Impact

Gervonta Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) vs Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) was a fight few predicted. Dan Rafael recently revealed that sources told Fight Freaks Unite this bout will be a 10-round exhibition with the result not counting on either fighter’s official record.

Despite having only 13 professional fights, Paul has been linked with fights against Canelo Alvarez and, most recently, Anthony Joshua. Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian revealed to Sky Sports that talks were underway for the fight to take place at the beginning of 2026. This still appears to be the plan, with the exhibition against Davis happening beforehand.

It’s undeniable that Paul has made a memorable imprint on boxing, whether you view it as positive or negative. Former super middleweight world champion George Groves had his say on Paul’s impact:

“Ultimately, when you add it all up, Jake Paul is good for boxing. He’s promoting now. He’s gone down the female boxing route. It feels like he’s promoting a lot of female boxing and he’s got a big presence. He gets people involved. He gets people invested. And he’s got Netflix at the table now, who are becoming a big broadcaster for boxing. A large part of boxing is about entertainment, and he’s very good at entertainment.”

Gervonta Davis Opportunity

Groves also spoke about what an opportunity November 14 is for Davis:

“I think he’s hit the lottery, hasn’t he? Everyone wanted that ticket to fight Jake Paul didn’t they? And he’s got it. Why has he got it? Probably because he’s half the size of Jake Paul. The thing is, there’s boxing and there’s boxing. Jake Paul is a very good sort of white collar-esque boxer, but there’s levels to this game. Gervonta Davis might chin him. He might be looking to slip and slide and wait. And that might be Jake Paul’s downfall,” said Groves.
