Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions seeks Davis to be part of its August 13 card, headlined by a boxing match featuring Paul of the Athletic and Stadium. Charania noted that Davis's original plan was to fight former NBA center Larry Sanders. Still, Paul is now looking for a different opponent for Davis as Sanders is agreed to play n the BIG3 basketball league.
Known for his angry way of playing, Davis spent 8th seasons in the NBA with the Boston Celtics, Orlando MNBA magic, and Los Angeles Clippers from 2007 to 2015.
He usually noticed acts that occurred during his rookie season when he won an NBA championship with the Celtics as a reserve.
During his career, Davis was a minor player, starting just 121 of the 514 games he played and averaging 8.0 points and 4.4 rebounds.
Before entering the NBA as a second-round pick in the 2007 NBA draft, Davis dominated c collegiately at LSU, earning SEC Player of the Year honors in 2006.
After his NBA career ended, Davis played professionally in Canada and spent time with the BIG3, winning a championship with the Power in 2018.
If the 36-year-old fighter from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, agrees to fight, he will be the latest in a long line to compete on Paul's pay-each-view cards.
Paul knocked out former NBA guard Nate Robinson in 2020 and subsequently defeated former UFC fighters Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley in bouts.
Whenever Davis strikes a deal with Paul's promotion, it stands to reason that he would face another non-boxing athlete making his in-ring debut as a boxer.
