Jake Paul started his morning with a frustration filled TikTok that made it clear how deeply the cancellation of his fight with Gervonta Davis affected him. The bout had been scheduled to stream live from Miami on Netflixuntil a civil lawsuit against Davis led to the event being called off.Paul had stayed in full training mode and expected fight week intensity. Instead, he found himself scrolling through reminders of a night that would never happen.
In Paul’s newest TikTok video, his friends playfully bring up the Netflix preview for the cancelled event. Paul responds with an irritated “Seriously” as he tells them to turn it off. When the ad loads again, he reacts with even more anger. The clip shows a fighter who put in months of work only to watch the biggest opportunity of his year dissolve.
The moment also reflects how abruptly the situation changed. Paul and Davis had generated significant hype before the allegations emerged. Once the legal issues became public, every part of the promotion collapsed. Paul has continued to train while trying to adjust to the new reality, but the shift hit him hard.
Paul aims for a December return although Anthony Joshua talks lose momentum
After the Davis cancellation, attention quickly turned toward a possible matchup with Anthony Joshua. Early reports suggested a deal for December. Those reports began to circulate widely and created a sense that an announcement was close. The momentum did not last long.
More recent updates indicate that negotiations are far from finished. Paul hinted at the uncertainty with a Thursday tweet in which he suggested that he might not be back in the ring until 2025. He also confirmed that he would be attending a Formula One event next weekend. Fans took this as another sign that no fight is locked in for next month.
Potential opponents like Nate Diaz and Andre Ward have also been mentioned, although none appear close to signing. Paul has stayed in camp in case an opportunity comes together. The narrowing calendar makes a December fight increasingly difficult to organize.
For now, the video of Paul snapping at a Netflix preview remains the clearest snapshot of his current state. A fighter who trained for a major night now finds himself at home watching reminders of a matchup that vanished and a schedule that suddenly feels empty.
