Jake Paul has picked Ryan Garcia to emerge victorious in a possible showdown against Gervonta Davis in Paradise, Nevada.

In a recently uploaded tweet, 'The Problem Child' predicted that 'The Flash' would knock Davis out in their boxing match, which is being targeted for April 2023.

Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis are both undefeated boxers with professional records of 23-0 and 28-0, respectively. Garcia has 19 victories via knockouts, whereas 'Tank' has knocked out 26 of his 28 opponents.

Talks of a fight between the two have been brewing for quite some time. Both athletes have also expressed interest in fighting each other on social media, and the fight is now expected to take place in April.

Gervonta Davis took on Hector Garcia on January 7 at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. 'Tank' finished his opponent in the eighth round to retain his WBA (regular) Lightweight Title.

In his post-fight interview, Davis said he was ready to lock horns with Garcia in April.

"God willing, man. I'm ready for the fight. It's scheduled for April. I'm here. He's [Ryan Garcia] training, he's been talking and let's see who's really about that," said Gervonta Davis.

Chael Sonnen speaks on who Jake Paul should fight for his MMA debut

Jake Paul is all set to venture into the world of MMA as 'The Problem Child' has signed a deal with the fight promotion PFL.

Chael Sonnen believes that instead of fighting an inexperienced fighter, Paul should go for prominent names like he did during his boxing run. 'The American Gangster' iterated the same in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel.

"I don't know if it's a bad idea to stick to a similar model that he did in boxing...If I find out that Jake Paul is going to be fighting Tyron Woodley, that works for me. And moreover if I found out Jake Paul is going to be fighting Anderson Silva in MMA, that works for me." [6:00 - 6:42]

Jake Paul competed against popular MMA fighters like Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), and Anderson Silva in the boxing ring. The YouTuber-turned-boxer earned victories against all three of them and even scored knockouts against Askren and Woodley.

So, it would not be a bad idea for 'The Problem Child' to compete against similar opponents in MMA.
