Jake Paul, the YouTuber turned cruiserweight boxer, is set to face undefeated WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an exhibition boxing match on November 14 or 15, 2025, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The fight, which was confirmed by multiple sources including Ring Magazine and Reuters, will be broadcast live on Netflix. This bout replaces a previously anticipated fight between Paul and Anthony Joshua, which has collapsed. The matchup has drawn varied reactions within the boxing community, with some critics labeling the fight a "disgrace" and others noting the weight difference, as Paul is expected to weigh approximately 70 pounds more than Davis. Prominent figures such as Ryan Garcia and Amir Khan have voiced concerns about the fight, while Paul has made confident remarks about his chances, stating he will "disable this tiny boy" during the match. The event is expected to generate substantial attention and revenue, potentially affecting other fighters' earnings, including Lamont Roach Jr. The gloves for the exhibition have been confirmed, and the fight is regarded as Paul's most formidable challenge to date.
