Michael Bisping Dismisses Jake Paul’s Boxing Challenge to Francis Ngannou
Michael Bisping, a UFC Hall of Famer, has voiced skepticism regarding rumors surrounding Jake Paul’s potential boxing match with Francis Ngannou. Paul is scheduled to face Gervonta Davis in an exhibition match next weekend in Miami, although the fight’s status has been compromised by a lawsuit filed against Davis.
Current Situation of Jake Paul’s Boxing Match
The lawsuit, initiated by Davis’ ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel, accuses him of serious offenses including battery and kidnapping. While Paul’s team, Most Valuable Promotions, has not officially canceled the bout, they confirmed they are reviewing the situation and will make a decision shortly.
Possible Replacements for Gervonta Davis
Amidst the uncertainty, boxing reporter Mike Coppinger has suggested that Nate Diaz and Francis Ngannou could be potential replacements for Davis. However, Bisping is doubtful about the credibility of these rumors.
Bisping’s Critique of Jake Paul
Bisping criticized Paul’s choice of opponents, pointing out that he often fights older and smaller opponents. He stated, “Gervonta Davis really did take the piss. To go from fighting Davis to now boxing Ngannou—listen, if he does it, fair play, but I just call ‘No. 1 bullsh*t on this.’”
