Jake Paul gives perfect response to Gervonta Davis following x-rated call-out
Jake Paul issued a response to Gervonta Davis calling him out with an x-rated post on Instagram after his win over Mike Tyson.
Paul took on Tyson in front of 70,000 fans the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the bout shown live on Netflix to millions around the world.
It was Tyson's 59th professional bout and his first since his defeat to Kevin McBride back in 2005 and though he started strongly, the 58-year-old looked a shadow of his former self and landed just 18 successful punches across eight, two minute rounds.
Refraining from knocking out the heavyweight boxing legend and bowing to him before the final bell, Paul cruised to a routine unanimous decision victory, with the three judges scoring it 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 in his favour.

Paul moved to 11-1 with the win and there is plenty of curiosity as to what direction his controversial career will head in next. But immediately after the fight he received a challenge from lightweight world champion Davis, who is 30-0 with 28 knockouts.
Taking to Instagram, 'Tank' wrote: "You a whole bozo for this and you didn't get the job done s***head. I'ma beat the brakes off Jake when I catch em."
The Problem Child was asked about the call-out in his post-fight press conference and expressed his interest in mixing it up with Davis, though he couldn't resist a dig at his height.
"I'd be down. Let's run it. I'd be super, super down. Is there a height limit in boxing?"
Davis is around 5ft 5 compared to Paul, who is 6ft 1 and has progressed up to heavyweight. Any bout would have to be a catchweight and Paul's manager Naskia Bidarian said that Davis "needs" his fighter much more than the other way around.
Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou also called out Paul and issued a chilling threat after he beat the Cameroonian's trainer, commenting: “Next time I see this @jakepaul guy, I'm gonna give him 2 or 3 slaps.”
As per regulations of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, both Paul and Tyson have been suspended and told to rest three days for every round fought.
