Official Announcement
Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-cruiserweight boxer (12‑1, 7 KOs), will take on undefeated WBA lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30‑0‑1, 28 KOs) on November 14, 2025, at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. The fight will stream globally on Netflix.
Major Mismatches & Questions
This fight raises eyebrows due to the massive weight and experience disparity—Paul fights around 200 lbs, while Davis is a lifelong lightweight at 135 lbs. No flood of details have dropped yet on the weight limit, number of rounds, or if it’s an exhibition.
What Happened Before
Originally, Paul was in talks with Anthony Joshua, but those plans stalled. Meanwhile, Davis was expected to settle things with Lamont Roach Jr. before choosing this high-profile Netflix bout instead—a move prompting the WBA to review his championship status.
The Bigger Picture
Promoters are calling this a generational boxing moment—a clash between two heavyweights in popularity, not just punching power. For streaming, Netflix is wielding big influence, keeping major boxing in-house.
