Former NBA forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis could be entering the boxing ring.

Davis is being targeted to be part of Jake Paul's pay-per-view boxing event on Aug. 13, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Paul's Most Valuable Promotions was working on setting up a match between Davis and former Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders, but is now looking for a new opponent due to Sanders' commitment to the BIG3 basketball league, according to Charania.

Davis, 36, played eight seasons in the NBA from 2007-15 for the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, and Los Angeles Clippers. He also suited up for the BIG3, helping the Power win a championship in 2018.

Paul last fought in December, defeating Tyron Woodley via knockout. He has yet to announce a location or his opponent for the Aug. 13 event.
