The YouTuber turned professional boxer was planned to go against the lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis on November 14, 2025, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Fans all over the world had the opportunity to watch the fight live on Netflix, which was highly anticipated by boxing fans. But, did not a few days ago, a series of incidents makes this fight uncertain?
Who Is Jake Paul's
Jake Paul is an American professional boxer, a social media influencer, and an actor. He is also the co-founder of the boxing promotion company Most Valuable Promotions. Paul was born on January 17, 1997. He became widely known through his videos on the Vine platform and later on YouTube. He was among the top earners of the 2010s and 2020s creators.
Paul’s sports career in boxing began in 2018 when he fought an amateur match against YouTuber Deji Olatunji, rediscovering his passion for athletics. He went professional in January 2020 and won his debut match by a technical knockout in the first round. Since then, Jake Paul has participated in and triumphed over several notable opponents, including ex-NBA player Nate Robinson and MMA fighters Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
In February 2023, he experienced his first professional loss, falling to boxer Tommy Fury in a close decision. Later, in November 2024, Paul achieved a major Sports milestone with a significant victory over former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson by unanimous decision — an event that became the biggest non-Vegas boxing event gate in the U.S.
Excitement Builds For Jake Paul's November Fight On Netflix
Jake Paul, who is notable for his explosive boxing style and huge online fan base, assured a fight full of excitement. He mentioned that the fight wasn't going to be a draw and even pointed to a specific moment in time when the knockout was going to happen, thereby elevating the anticipation among the audience. Just as a show, no title was on the line because of the difference in weights—Paul is approximately 200 lbs, and Davis is at 135 lbs.
Controversy Clouds The Jake Paul Vs Gervonta Davis Event
The next chapter of the fight was in doubt after a report that Gervonta Davis was involved in an assault following an incident at a Miami Gardens strip club on October 27, 2025. How these accusations have overshadowed the news of Davis has been the major point of discussion among sources who say that it is very likely that he will pull out the fight. Thus, the promoters and the fans are left speculating whether the mega event will still happen.
Possible Replacements And Fight Alternatives
If Davis decides not to go, people have already started to talk about who could be the next opponents of Jake Paul. On the table, there are names such as Andre Ward, Anthony Joshua, and Nate Diaz. However, a few fighters like Francis Ngannou have denied the idea of coming to boxing to fight Paul. The matter is still unsettled until the day of the fight gets closer.
