Gervonta Davis has revealed that he has newfound respect for Jake Paul. 'Tank' was never the biggest fan of 'The Problem Child' due to continuous call-outs and trash-talk. However, the 27-year-old appeared on the 'I Am Athlete' podcast to talk about everything boxing with hosts Brandon Marshall, Chad Ochocinco Johnson, and Adam Caparell.
They asked 'Tank' what he thought of Paul. 'Tank' replied saying:
"You know, I feel as though at first I didn't like how Jake Paul was coming in. Because of how he was making it look, like he'll call out somebody else that's like, but now that I see that. I feel as though he's still a clown coz that's his personality, he's still a clown. But as far as him like content in the gym, like I'm starting to respect it coz he's not doing it for the hype."
