J’Leon Love, a veteran fighter and trainer in Jake Paul’s camp, is pushing back after Gervonta “Tank” Davis called him out on stage.
Appearing on Let The Sparkz Fly on MRECK TV with host David “Flat” Sparks, Love addressed the exchange while reaffirming what he says many still question—Paul’s power inside the ring.
Love admitted he was surprised when Davis threatened both him and Paul publicly. “It did, man. Because me and Tank ain’t never had a bad day under the sun,” he said, recalling their years of training in Las Vegas gyms.
Despite the sudden hostility, Love emphasized that he remains focused on his role with Paul.
Sparks, who has quickly made a name for himself as both a fighter and a personality, shared his own experience.
He explained that Paul once gave him a black eye during sparring, a claim often doubted by fans. “They keep saying I’m making that up, but bro, he’s got it,” Sparks said. Love supported that account, adding that many dismiss Paul because it is easier than acknowledging his progress.
“No matter what they say about him, he gonna do what he do,” Love said.
Sparks has previously detailed how his connection with Paul came through Love. He recalled being flown to Puerto Rico for Paul’s camp ahead of the Mike Tyson exhibition, with accommodations and pay handled at a professional level.
“Nobody never took care of me like Jake Paul did,” Sparks said, pointing out that Paul’s team set the tone for serious preparation.
Inside the ring, Sparks said he initially underestimated Paul until a clean shot changed his mind.
“I was fake taking it easy and Jake Paul caught me big,” Sparks admitted. He described the power as “deceptive” and credited Paul’s work ethic, noting his conditioning and training approach matched that of established fighters.
Sparks has also spoken about Davis in the past, saying he doesn’t believe retirement is imminent following his bout with Lamont Roach. “He’s so rich at a young age, he just needs to get his mind together,” Sparks said.
