Because of the accusations made against Gervonta Davis, Jake Paul and Davis will no longer face off in a boxing battle. A body language specialist has now commented on Paul's body language.

Two of boxing's most talked-about celebrities are Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis. Paul, the YouTuber-turned-fighter, has made a name for himself by taking on professional boxers and making headlines. As a world champion supported by Floyd Mayweather, Davis is known for his dominating performances in the ring and explosive power. On November 14, 2025, the two boxers were scheduled to compete in a widely reported exhibition. But the fight was suddenly called off. This is what a body language specialist said regarding Paul's post-cancellation body language.

A body language specialist says Jake Paul does not want to "undermine" his "star status."

The much-anticipated bout between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis was abruptly called off, shocking the boxing community and beyond. After significant accusations against Davis surfaced, the fight—which was scheduled to air live on Netflix—was cancelled. His former girlfriend accused him of false detention and violence. Days before the match was supposed to take place, promoters decided to call off the event due to the controversy, which left fans angry and Paul looking for a replacement opponent.

Joanne Pearson, a body language expert for the British Lie Detector Test, explained how Paul's body language conveys his desire to manage his image.

Pearson clarified, "You see the markers of a star who recognises their audience, their platform, and their power when you witness Jake Paul's ring-walk stance – chest open, immediate eye contact, arms lifted, head held high." "And that knowledge is highlighted by the fact that he and his team decided not to fight Gervonta Davis as planned: He is purposefully avoiding association with actions or personas that would weaken that star status."

Paul is very aware of his brand, Pearson continued. Additionally, it now includes leaving a battle.

In today's boxing-plus-entertainment ecosystem, she added, "this is a star who understands that your opponent is part of your brand, your walk-out is your brand, and your media interaction is your brand." "Like a real icon, he is displaying ambition."

The founder of the PR firm Cupid PR in Manchester, Sophie Rhone, also shared her opinions on Jake Paul's decision to withdraw from the Gervonta Davis match.

Rhone observed, "Jake and his brother Logan have emerged as two of our generation's most prosperous businesspeople." Their public relations approach is always incisive. Every altercation, social gathering, and product launch is planned. The recent decision to withdraw from the fight against Davis? That was the result of strategic brand preservation.

Paul's crew assessed the fight's public reception, Rhone continued.

She went on, "Their crew did not just react—they acted." They assessed whether this battle would strengthen or weaken the brand. Getting involved with a rival who is being accused of grave crimes? That risk is commercial in nature as well as reputational.

Logan and Jake Paul, according to Rhone, have "mastered" transforming fights into "media events" in order to boost their brands.

Online, the boxer attacked Gervonta Davis.


Jake Paul clarified his position on Gervonta Davis in a post on X. Paul refers to Davis as a "woman abuser" in the widely shared tweet, adding that he does not want to be associated with the boxer.

Paul wrote, "Gervonta Davis is a real walking human piece of crap." It is an absolute headache to work with him. The lack of professionalism, strange requests, and arriving at shoots hours late. to the many arrests, as well as the associated charges and legal actions. You are endorsing the most heinous sin a man can commit if you back this man.

Paul went on, "I did not want to give this woman abuser a platform to expand his fan base and his financial account." "My organisation supports women. I sincerely apologise to all those concerned.

Undefeated Legend Terence Crawford Officially Retires

Terence Crawford's been in the news lately. The WBC took away his super middleweight title because he didn't pay sanctioning fees. That meant he wasn't the undisputed champ anymore.

People have been wondering what Crawford would do next. But the fighter from Omaha just dropped a video with The Ring Magazine saying he's hanging up his gloves. Artur Beterbiev, the legendary former light heavyweight champ, gave props to Bud Crawford on his X account.

Terence Crawford got a shout-out from Artur Beterbiev after retiring.

In the Ring Magazine video, the WBA, WBO, and IBF super middleweight champ said, Every fighter knows this day will arrive. We just don't know when. I spent my life chasing something—not belts, money, or fame. It was the feeling when everyone doubted me, and I kept showing up and proving them wrong. Boxing gave me everything. I fought for my family, my city, and the kid I used to be. That kid had nothing but a dream and some gloves. And I did it my way.

Beterbiev posted on X:

It’s wild to be the first undisputed champ in three weight classes in boxing history and to do it without a single loss. Some might think it's impossible, but Terence Crawford pulled it off. Congrats on an amazing career.”

Terence Crawford is calling it quits on top.

Crawford's career really took off recently, especially with that big win against Errol Spence Jr. Not long afterwards, he beat Canelo Alvarez. That last fight probably gave him a good financial buffer, and it looks like Bud wants to retire while he's ahead.

Who knows if we'll see the Omaha fighter again? His skills mean his name is remembered. People will be talking about him with legends such as Muhammad Ali, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Crawford's one of the best switch-hitters ever, maybe the best. His counterpunching and power have taken down everyone he's faced. So is this really goodbye to Terence Crawford?
