The Herd with Colin Cowherd - Daniel Cormier TV - DC WARNS Jake Paul: "STAY AWAY from Francis Ngannou!"

Episode Date: November 6, 2025

Daniel Cormier IS BACK after huge news broke in the boxing world: Jake Paul and Gervonta "Tank" Davis' fight is officially canceled. The exhibition boxing fight was canceled by MVP Promotions due to Tank's run-in with the law, and DC gives his take on why this fight SHOULD HAVE NEVER happened in the first place. Plus, Cormier argues that Jake Paul calling out former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is a huge mistake. DC says that despite his loss to Anthony Joshua, Francis will "knock Jake's head" to ANOTHER PLANET if the two were to fight.

I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The volume.

What's up, guys, and welcome to a brand new episode at Daniel Cormier TV. Look, guys, I know that my backdrop looks a little odd right now. It's because we're moving into a brand new studio. Everything is getting shipped. We already have the space built out. You guys will see it once we get everything done. But right now, I'm waiting for a few more pieces to move in. But we started to kind of strategically move things in as we get started.

So look, hey, we're growing up. We are growing up here at Daniel Cormier TV. Thanks in part to my team and also the team at the volume. We're getting bigger, we're getting better. And it's only possible because of the support that you guys all show me time and time again. But today, I wanted to discuss Jake Paul Gervante Davis. Guys, this thing was a mess when it got announced. You know it.

I know it. We had all these questions about the weight difference. that's like how in the world is a guy that fights at heavyweight or cruiser weight fighting a guy that fights at 135 pounds it was a nightmare to start right boxing is much different than mixed martial arts the target audience might be the same but the demographics different the uh the the places where people are brought up are different there are bigger entourages in boxing. It's just a different world in boxing.

We've known that from the very beginning. We know that Javante Davis was not going to just play to Jake Paul's rules. I still don't know exactly why this thing is falling apart, but it is falling apart bad. It is bursting at the seams. We are almost exactly where we should have never started. This should have never gotten started. But it did.

But we are almost now exactly where we need to be in the fight, and that's it being off. It being off. So the CEO most valuable productions is a guy named Nikisa Badari. He said, our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate the situation responsibly. Wow, we will not be moving forward with this event. Our plan still remains for Jake, the headline on Netflix in 2025. details regarding a new date location,

a new opponent in additional bouts, will be shared as soon as they are finalized. So, Jervante Davis is out of the fight. Like I said, guys, we honestly should have never had a fight. We should have never had that fight even on the docket, but it was happening. You knew it had potential to be a nightmare.

It turned out to be exactly what we thought it was going to be. But then Jake Paul, to his credit, guys, after he completely rips Giovante Davis, he sets his target on something I could have never imagined that he would actually be willing to do. Never. But on Giovante Davis, he said, Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare, the unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the short of hours late to photo shoots, 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 grow his bank account. My company, champions, women, I'm so sorry to everyone. So Jake Paul was really letting him have it. But you know, based on some of the things

that Jervante Davis faces right now himself. But Jake is talking about, guys, Javante Davis didn't even know what weight they were fighting at the time. I don't know what happened to Teng. Tank Davis was once one of the brightest shining stars in all the boxing. I don't know what happened to where he's in this situation

with Jake Paul, not really knowing what's going on. And it sounds like he's done a lot of stuff to put himself at risk of losing a payday. an exhibition, because that'll only be an exhibition. And now he's out. But then right after that, Jake Paul veers, as he always does. You know, for a long time, Jake Paul has been accused of one being a YouTuber that can't fight. That's not true.

He's a boxer. For five years now, he has trained with the best trainers. He's fought. He lives the life of a professional athlete because he has money. He's not some beginner anymore. But one of the biggest issues was Jake Paul was choosing opponents very carefully. Very carefully.

It was my guy Ben Astrid. Then it was Tyron Woodley a couple times. Then it was Anderson, which was very dangerous. Many people thought that Anderson let him win. Because Anderson actually had striking. But he was choosing fights that were safe. Here's the deal. He was choosing fights that were safe,

but they were a bigger name opponent. because MMA people recognize them. But the reality is what Jake Paul was doing is what every boxer does. Boxers, when they fight, especially in the beginning of their careers, they fight cannon fodder. They fight guys that don't belong in there with them.

They elevate boxers from the very start of boxing to today. You get guys that are 10, 20, you know, they literally have only fought people that barely have a beating pulse. He was fighting former champions. Problem is, he took away all their weapons. And that's why people didn't like it. And because of who he is, people didn't like it.

But he didn't do anything different than what we see with every single prospect, we get out of boxing, every Olympic champion, every Floyd Mayweather, every Andre Warren. They all fought guys like that in the beginning. they just didn't have any name recognition. They just didn't. And they said he wasn't fighting real boxers. Well, most fighters don't in the beginning of their careers.

I know it's coming off like I'm defending Jake, defending Jake Paul, and you guys know I don't want to do that. But that's crazy. But then it leads me to what Jake does next, right? And that is so surprising. But before I get to that, I want to remind you guys that every episode here at Daniel Cormier TV is brought to you, by total wireless, the official wireless provider of UFC there in your corner with

unlimited 5G data that will not slow you down. And when talking about slowing down, Jake Paul goes from fighting Gervante Davis to calling out Francis and Ghanou. Dear Francis, this is, sorry, it's the first part. Dear Francis, just say, you already got humiliated boxing and are scared to lose to Jake Paul. I accept that. You are light work stuck in mud. He was referring to when Francis was brought up as the opponent. Francis said initially, I am not interested. This fight has no interest to me. It makes no sense. I don't want to do it. So then Jake says, hey, just say you're scared, which Jake Paul don't want those problems. I can't say it any different. Jake Paul does not want any friends. Jake Paul does not want any

Francis and Ghanu problems. He don't. He does not want those issues. Because while I think it's crazy and I credit him for doing that, and I'm surprised he did that, this could be a ploy, him poking out his chest, saying, I want Francis. Francis goes, eh, doesn't really make sense to me,

especially Francis can't fight on the day that they were scheduled to fight. But he don't want those problems. He don't want those Francis and Gano problems. I don't care what Anthony and Joshua did to Francis and Ghanu. Jake Paul gets in there with Francis. Francis will knock his head off this planet. You don't want those Francis problems. So if Francis says, choose your words wisely, boy,

I agree that you need someone to discipline you for what you did to Mike Tyson, but stay in your lane. All right, guys, we're extremely excited to announce our new partner and sponsor Hard Rock Bet.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris.

Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well,

Good luck. Consider this your court-side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque.

I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know Big Frank. This is the type of stuff that pisses him off.

I'm telling you, Jake Paul don't want those problems in. Because I don't care that you're a boxer. I watch Francis put down Tyson. fury. Sure, Anthony Josh will beat him. But even if Jake got power, I don't think he got power to be dealing with Francis. Because all it takes is for one to land, he going to put you out. But then Jake said this morning, my lane helped your lane. I spoke for you over and over.

No more. Look out yourself in the mirror, Francis. God don't like ugly. Maybe the truth is, you are a fake, holier than thou actor. When it's always been just about you, maybe use your platform to speak on the youth of your country posting a flag ain't it. Instead of doing TMZ interviews like a can man to talk about me. Reality check. I do sleep you in boxing and John Jones does in mixed martial arts.

Maybe Jake in poking his chess out. Maybe he really does want to fight Francis in Ganoo. But I got to tell you, if you, if you're just a kid ain't poking his chess out. I got to tell you, if he's going to fight Francis in Ghanu, it needs to be on a very short time frame, timeline, to where Francis can't be fully prepared, and it needs to be at a weight that Francis has not touched in years. He cannot fight Francis at Francis' way in 250, 260.

First off, he won't do that. That's why he's fought guys that are smaller. But if he does, if Jake Paul actually fights Francis and Ghanu, I would do nothing but give him credit. But I can't imagine he would really do that. But what he did do, though, and this is why the kid's so smart, he took a situation where Javante Davis went and got himself into trouble, and he's out.

And he has now spun that into us talking about him fighting Francis and Ghanu. Jake Paul never needed Javante Davis. He did. He needed Gervante Davis to light a fire and start a conversation. He used him for that. Jervante messed it up. Now he's moved on and spun it to where he started another conversation and now it involves Francis and Ghani.

He knows out of market himself. But I'm telling you, you play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. Stupid prize will be fighting Francis and Ghanu. I don't care what money. Jake Paul wouldn't make. He should not be fighting Francis and Ghanes. Francis will put him out. Hey, Big Frank don't know how to play games.

Big Frank don't know how to pull his punches. McFrank will put you down, man. Stay away from Francis and Gano if you ain't a guy like Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury. Guys, tell me in the comments if you think that Jake Paul is actually trying to fight Francis or Jake Paul is playing the game with Francis and Ghanou, which is my belief. But still, credit to him for understanding his game, his role in knowing how to start conversations

and keep himself in the news. And to this point, six out of seven times he's backed it up with victories. I think it's time we stop doubting Jake Paul and give him credit for what he really is and that is a professional boxing. Until next time, guys, like, subscribe. Tell you friends, I got a YouTube channel

and I'm doing stuff like that, keeping up with all the news and everything going up with MMA. Hey, also, that kid that was that fight thing the other day? Crazy. I was so disappointed. The world of MMA is changing, man. And it'll be the UFC that gets everything back under control. Just watch.

As they've led time and time again, they'll leave in this fight against fight fixing attempts, which is so crazy. Until next time, guys, like I said, subscribe to the channel. Peace. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin.

And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
