Jake Paul hopes to answer two major questions at once on November 14.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has faced constant criticism for fighting old and/or inexperienced opponents.
‘El Gallo’ hopes to prove he’s legit by beating reigning WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis in an exhibition bout.
Jake Paul will enter the fight with a massive size advantage over his 5ft 5in, 135lb opponent – but he’s taking extra steps to show that any physical stats in his favor are entirely natural.
Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis agree to USADA testing
On Friday, Jake Paul dropped a YouTube video discussing his upcoming fight with Gervonta Davis.
The 6ft 1in prospect, who has weighed 227lbs when he fought Mike Tyson last November, wants to bust the myth about him using performance-enhancing drugs.
So, he’s agreed to let the UFC’s old drug testing partner, USADA, test him whenever they want during camp.
Don’t worry. For all of you Karens who accuse me of being on steroids as the reason for winning all of my fights, we have the strictest drug testing possible for this fight,” Paul said.
“US Anti-Doping Agency. Random drug tests at any moment.”
In a subsequent drug test skit, Paul insisted he’s “Clean as a whistle. Contrary to what they say.”
Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis rules
Jake Paul revealed the bizarre rules for his fight with Gervonta Davis months before dropping the bombshell announcement.
In May, Logan Paul‘s little brother publicly claimed that he was very close to booking a fight with Davis.
“I mean, that was on the one-yard line as well, but he has to rematch Lamont Roach. He wants to get that back, and then we’ll be back in discussions with Mr Gervonta,” he said on The Ariel Helwani Show.
“This is the nature of boxing. You have massive fights on the one-yard line, and they just fall through.”
“195,” Jake Paul added when asked about what weight the fight would be contested at.
“It would be an exhibition, 10 three-minute rounds. No restrictions, just the fact we couldn’t actually get it professionally sanctioned.”
