Jake Paul launched a scathing attack on Gervonta Davis after cancelling their exhibition.
Paul and Davis were scheduled to meet in Miami next Friday, live on Netflix.
However, after it emerged last week that Davis was accused of attacking his ex-girlfriend in a civil lawsuit, Paul’s company, Most Valuable Promotions scrapped the event entirely on Monday.
The lawsuit accused the Baltimore man of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
It came just two months after ‘Tank’ had another lawsuit dropped by an ex-girlfriend who alleged battery and kidnapping.
“Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage,” the 28-year-old posted on X.
“Working with him is an absolute nightmare.
“The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the showing up hours late to shoots.
“To the numerous 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 abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account.”
‘The Problem Child’ is seeking a replacement for Davis and reportedly sent an offer to Ryan Garcia, according to Sports Illustrated.
The Ohio man was in talks earlier this year to face former heavyweight world champion, Anthony Joshua, although discussions broke down.

Ex-UFC heavyweight titlist, Francis Ngannou and undisputed super middleweight champion, Terence Crawford were also approached.
The exhibition was set to take place at 200 pounds with a winner announced, although it would not have gone on either man’s record.
“My company champions women,” he added.
“I’m so sorry to everyone involved.
“Mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at MVP and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight.
“Sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again.
“It’s scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture and sports, including in positions of power.
“I hope you people moving forward look beyond his fake streetwear pieces “SWAG” and search for something deeper to be a fan of.
“As for me it’s on to the next one as always. Anyone. Anytime. Any place.”
Paul’s business partner, Nakisa Bidarian insists the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s return is still planned before the end of the year, but will not be on November 14.
