An unlikely peacemaker emerged Sept. 23 at a news conference to promote the exhibition fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis.
Only Fans model Rubi Rose.
During a faceoff between the boxers, Davis shoved Paul. Paul shoved back. Whereupon Rose, clad in a snug, blue micro-dress, stepped between the boxers and the fighters relented. Presumably until their 10-round bout Nov. 14 to be streamed by Netflix.
To be fair, Rose isn’t only an Only Fans model. The 27-year-old, born Rubi Rose Benton, also is a rapper who has appeared in music videos and commercials, including one for Paul’s W brand men’s care product line that includes deodorant.
Speaking of deodorant, the moment involving Rose smelled like potentially more than an eerie coincidence.
Rose sashayed behind the boxers just as Davis shoved Paul with two hands. Paul shoved back with one hand. Calmly, Rose stepped forward and gently pushed the boxers apart, restoring order.
She also underscored the size discrepancy between the two boxers.
Paul, who is 6-1, towered over Davis, who is 5-5½. And even Rose looked noticeably taller than Davis, who did not have the benefit of high heels.
