**Jake Paul Set to Face Gervonta Davis in Exhibition Match**
Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer, has announced his next fight against Gervonta “Tank” Davis. The highly anticipated exhibition match is scheduled for November 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Netflix will be streaming the event, following their previous collaboration with Paul during his controversial bout against Mike Tyson.
With a boxing record of 12 wins and 1 loss, including 7 knockouts, Paul has already begun the pre-fight banter on social media platform X. “Gervonta has been disrespecting my name for too long. His nickname might be Tank, but I’m an FPV drone and I’m about to disable this tiny boy,” Paul stated. He acknowledged Davis’s status as one of the top pound-for-pound boxers but emphasized his own confidence, saying, “My motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath.”
The reference to “Goliath” likely pertains to Anthony Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion with whom Paul had previously discussed a potential fight. However, those negotiations reportedly fell through due to network conflicts.
Davis, who remains undefeated in his professional career, faced controversy in his last fight, which ended in a draw against Lamont Roach in March. The match included a disputed kneel-down that was not ruled a knockdown. Davis was slated for a rematch with Roach on August 16 but was arrested for misdemeanor battery related to a domestic violence incident. The charges were dropped last week after his ex-girlfriend chose not to pursue prosecution.
Paul’s most recent fight was a unanimous decision victory over Julio César Chávez Jr. in June, which earned him a World Boxing Association (WBA) ranking as the No. 14 contender in the cruiserweight division. Notably, weight class differences will be a significant storyline leading up to the November bout, as Paul weighs at least 50 pounds more than Davis, who stands at 5-foot-5 compared to Paul’s 6-foot-1 stature.
In addition to the Paul-Davis match, Netflix will also host a September 13 bout featuring Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford, two of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport.
