Jake Paul and Most Valuable Promotions are reportedly considering former Ultimate Fighting Championship stars to replace Gervonta “Tank” Davis in an upcoming boxing match.
Paul was originally scheduled to fight Davis in an exhibition match on Nov. 14 in Miami. However, the Netflix show is now in jeopardy after Davis’ ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, filed a civil lawsuit in Miami-Dade County, accusing the lightweight champion of aggravated battery and other charges.
Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix initially reported that Paul was considering Ryan Garcia and Terence Crawford as viable options to replace “Tank.” Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppinger more recently revealed that former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and fan favorite Nate Diaz are also being looked at.
