Among the boxers who could replace Davis were Ryan Garcia or Edgar Berlanga but Joshua was finally chosen, after Paul refused to fight Davis, once his accusation was known, whom he called "human garbage."

"Working with Davis is an absolute nightmare. The total lack of professionalism, the exorbitant demands, arriving hours late to the set... Not to mention the multiple arrests, accusations and lawsuits surrounding him," the YouTuber said.
