Jake Paul, the YouTuber turned cruiserweight boxer, is scheduled to face undefeated WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an exhibition boxing match on November 14, 2025, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The bout, which marks a departure from Paul's previously anticipated fight against Anthony Joshua, will be broadcast live on Netflix. The announcement has sparked varied reactions within the boxing community, with some viewing the match as a notable step for Paul against a legitimate boxer, while others have criticized the fight as a "disgrace." Paul has publicly stated his intent to "disable" Davis during the fight, and the event has generated considerable attention, including commentary from figures such as Ryan Garcia and Amir Khan. The match's confirmation has also affected other boxing prospects, potentially impacting Lamont Roach Jr.'s earnings. The fight contract details and glove rules have been disclosed, with promoters and analysts noting the significant weight difference between the fighters, as Paul is expected to weigh approximately 70 pounds more than Davis. This event effectively ends the possibility of a Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua fight in the near term, with Joshua's return date now projected separately by his promoter Eddie Hearn.
