Daniel Cormier IS BACK after huge news broke in the boxing world: Jake Paul and Gervonta "Tank" Davis' fight is officially canceled. The exhibition boxing fight was canceled by MVP Promotions due to Tank's run-in with the law, and DC gives his take on why this fight SHOULD HAVE NEVER happened in the first place. Plus, Cormier argues that Jake Paul calling out former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is a huge mistake. DC says that despite his loss to Anthony Joshua, Francis will "knock Jake's head" to ANOTHER PLANET if the two were to fight.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Volume. What's up, guys, and welcome to a brand
new episode at Daniel Cormier TV. Look, guys, I know
that my backdrop looks a little odd right now. It's
because we're moving into a brand new studio. Everything is

(00:25):
getting shipped. We already have the space built out. You
guys will see it once we get everything done, but
right now, I'm waiting for a few more pieces to
move in. When we started to kind of strategically move
things in as we get started. So look, hey, we're
growing up. We are growing up here at a Daniel
Cormier TV. Thanks in part to my team and also

(00:48):
the team at the Volume. We're getting bigger, we're getting better,
and it's only possible because of the support that you
guys all show me time and time again. But I
wanted to discuss Jake Paul Gervonte Davis. Guys, this thing
was a mess when it got announced.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
You know it, I know it.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
We had all these questions about the weight difference, the like,
how in the world is a guy that fights at
heavyweight or cruiserweight fighting a guy that fights at one
hundred and thirty five pounds. It was a nightmare to start, right,
Boxing is much different than mixed martial arts. The target

(01:34):
audience might be the same, but the demographics different. The
places where people are brought up are different. There's bigger
entourages in boxing. It's just a different world in boxing.
We've known that from.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
The very beginning.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
We know that Javonte Davis was not gonna just play
to Jake Paul's rules. I still we don't know exactly
why this thing is falling apart, but it is falling
apart bad. It is bursting at the seams. We are
almost exactly where we should have never started. This should
have never gotten started, but it did. But we are

(02:17):
almost now exactly where we need to be in the fight.
And that's it being off.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
It being off.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So the sea almost valuable production is a guy named
the Kisa Badarian. He said, our team has worked closely
with all parties to navigate the situation responsibly. Wow, we
will not be moving forward with this event. Our plan
still remains for Jake the headline on Netflix in twenty
twenty five. Details regarding a new date, location, a new

(02:47):
opponent in additional bouts will be shared as soon as
they are finalized. So Gervonte Davis is out.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Of the fight.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Like I said, guys, we honestly should have never had
a fight. We should have never had that fight even
on the docket, But it was happening. You knew it
had potential to be a nightmare. It turned out to
be exactly what we thought it was going to be.
But then Jake Paul, to his credit, guys, after he

(03:18):
completely rips Javonte Davis, he sets his target on something
I could have never imagined that he would actually be
willing to do. Never but old Javonte Davis. He said,
Davis is an actual, walking human piece of garbage. Working
with him is an absolute nightmare. The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests,

(03:42):
the short of hours late, the photo shoots, the Numero's
arrests and related accusations and lawsuits. If you support this man,
you support the most vile sin a man can commit.
I didn't want to give this woman abuse a platform
to grow his and grow his bank account. My company

(04:02):
champions women. I'm so sorry to everyone. So Jake Paul
was really letting him have it. But you know, based
on some of the things that Javonte Davis faces right
now himself. But Jake is talking about guys, Javontay Davis
didn't even know what weight they were fighting at at
the time.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I don't know what happened to Tank.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Tank Davis was once one of the brightest shining stars
in all of boxing. I don't know what happened to
where he's in this situation with Jake Paul not really
knowing what's going on, and it sounds like he'd done
a lot of stuff to put himself at risk of
losing a payday an exhibition because I have to only

(04:44):
be an exhibition and.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Now he's out.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
But then right after that, Jake Paul veers as he
always does. You know, for a long time, Jake Paul
has been accused of one being a YouTuber that can't fight.
That's not true. He's a boxer for five years now.
He has trained with the best trainers.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
He fought. He lives the life of a professional athlete because.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
He has money. He's not some beginner anymore. But one
of the biggest issues was Jake Paul was choosing opponents.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Very carefully, very carefully.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
It was my guy been asking, then it was Tyron
Woodley a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Then it was Anderson, which was very dangerous.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Many people thought that Anderson let him win because Anderson
actually has striking, but he was choosing fights that were safe.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Here's the deal.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
He was choosing fights that were safe, but they were
bigger name opponents because people recognized him. But the reality
is what Jake Paul was doing is what every boxer does.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Boxers when they fight, especially in the.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Beginning of their careers, they fight cannon fodder.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
They fight guys that don't belong in there with them.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
They elevate boxers from the very start of boxing to today,
you get guys that are ten twenty to zero and
they literally have only fought people that barely have a
beating pulse.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
He was fighting former champions.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
The problem is he took away all their weapons and
that's why people didn't like it, and because of who
he is, people didn't like it. But he didn't do
anything different then what we see with every single prospect
we get out of boxing. Every Olympic champion, every Floyd Mayweather,
every Andre Ward, they.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
All fought guys like that in the beginning.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
They just didn't have any name recognition. They just didn't
And they said he wasn't fighting real boxers. Well, most
fighters don't in the beginning of their careers. I know
it's coming off like I'm depending Jake defending Jake Paul,
and you guys know I don't want to do that,
but that's crazy. But then it leads me to what
Jake does next, right, and that is so surprising. But

(07:04):
before I get to that, I want to remind you
guys that every episode here at Daniel Cormier TV is
brought to you by Total Wireless, the official wireless provider
of UFC. There in your corner with a limited five
G data that will not slow you down. And when
talking about slowing down, Jake Paul goes from fighting Gervonte
Davis to calling out Francis and Ghanu. Dear Francis, this

(07:30):
is sorry. This is the first part. Dear Francis, just
say you already got humiliating boxing and are scared to lose.
To Jake Paul, I accept that you are light work
stuck in mud. He was referring to when Francis was
brought up as an opposent. Francis said, initially, I am

(07:51):
not interested. This fight has no interest to me. It
makes no sense. I don't want to do it. So
that Jake says, hey, just say you're which Jake Paul
don't want those problems. I can't say it any different.
Jake Paul does not want any Francis and GNU problems.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
He don't. He does not want those issues.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Because while I think it's crazy and I credit him
for doing that, and I'm surprised he did that, this
could be a ploy him poking on his chest saying
I want Francis Francis goes eh. Doesn't really make sense
to me, especially Francis can't fight on the day that
they were scheduled to fight. But he don't want those problems.

(08:38):
You don't want those Francis and God No problems. I
don't care what Anthony Joshua did to Francis and Ghanu.
Jake Paul gets in there with Francis, Francis will knock
his head off this planet.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
You don't want those Francis problems.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
So if Francis says, choose your words wisely, boy, I
agree that you need someone to discipline you for what
you did to Mike Tyson.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
But stay in your lane.

Speaker 1 (09:05):

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I know, Big Frank.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
This is the type of stuff that pisses him off.
I'm telling you, Jake paul O' what those problems because
I don't care that you're you're a boxer.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I watched Francis put down Tyson Fury.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Sure Anthony Josh will beat him. But even if Jake
got power, I don't think he got power to be
dealing with Francis, because all it takes is for one
to land and he gonna put you out. But then
Jake said, this morning, my lane helped your lane. I
spoke for you over and over.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
No more.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Look out yourself in the mirror, Francis, God don't like ugly.
Maybe the truth is you are a fake holier than
thou actor when it's always been just about you. Maybe
use your platform to speak on the youth of your
country posting a flag, ain't it instead of doing TMZ
interviews like a can man to talk about me, reality check.

(11:39):
I do sleep you in boxing, and John Jones does
in mixed martial arts.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Maybe Jake and poking his chest out, maybe he really
does want to fight Francis and Ghanu.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
But I gotta tell you, if he's going to fight
Francis in Ghano, it needs to be on a very
short time frame timeline to where Francis can't be fully prepared,
and it needs to be at a weight that Francis
has not touched in years. He cannot fight Francis at
France's way into fifty to sixty.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
First off, he won't do that.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
That's why he's fought guys that are smaller. But if
he does, if Jake Paul actually fights Francis and Ghanu,
I would do nothing but give him credit. But I
can't imagine he would really do that.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
But what he did do though, and this is why
the kid's so smart.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
He took a situation where Javonte Davis went and got
himself into trouble and he's out and he has now
spun that into us talking about him fighting Francis and Ghanu.
Jake Paul never needed Jervonte Davis.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
He did. He needed Jervonte Davis. To light a fire
and start a conversation. He used him for that. Javonte
messed it up.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Now he's moved on and spun it to where he
started another conversation and now it involves Francis and Ganda.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
He knows how to market himself.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
But I'm telling you, you play stupid games, you get
stupid prizes. Stupid prize will be fighting Francis and Ganu.
I don't care what money Jake Paul wouldn't make.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
He should not be.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Fighting Francis and Ghana. Francis will put him out. Hey,
big Frank, Big Frank don't know how to play games.
Big Frank don't know to pull his punches. Big Frank
will put you down. Man, stay away from Francis and Ganu.
If you ain't a guy like Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury. Guys,
tell me in the comments if you think that Jake

(13:42):
Paul is actually trying to fight tight Francis, or if
Jake Paul is playing the game with Francis and Gano,
which is my belief, but still credit to him for
understanding his game, his role in knowing how to start
conversations and keep himself in the news. And to this point,
six out of seven times he's.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Backed it up with victories.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think it's time we stopped the doubting Jake Paul,
give him credit for what he really is, and that is.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
A professional boxer.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Until next time, guys like subscribe. Tell you friends, I
got a YouTube channel and I'm doing stuff like that,
keeping up with all the news and everything going up
with MMA.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Hey also that kid that with that fight thing the
other day, crazy. I was so disappointed the world.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
The MMA is changing, man, and it'll be the UFC
that gets everything back under control. Just watch as they've
led time and time again, they'll leave in this fight
against fight fixing attempts, which is so crazy. Until next time, guys,
like I said, subscribe to the channel Peace
