Jake Paul vs. Gervonta “Tank” Davis | Netflix’s Blockbuster Boxing Mega-Event 🥊🔥

"It’s the fight nobody expected, but everybody will be watching."

On Friday, November 14, 2025, the worlds of entertainment and elite boxing collide as Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) steps into the ring against the undefeated Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs). The showdown takes place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, streamed live worldwide on Netflix, marking one of the most ambitious crossover boxing spectacles in recent memory.

With Paul carrying his YouTube-to-boxing stardom and Davis holding his crown as the WBA Lightweight Champion, this isn’t just a fight — it’s a clash between celebrity spectacle and pure boxing pedigree.

📖 The Road to Miami

The fight comes after a chaotic journey of negotiations, leaks, and venue changes.

• Originally, Jake Paul was eyeing a blockbuster against Canelo Álvarez on Netflix for Cinco de Mayo 2025. But Canelo pivoted to a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, forcing Paul to find a new opponent.

• After Gervonta Davis’s March bout with Lamont Roach Jr. ended in a draw, rumors of a Paul vs. Davis matchup started gaining traction.

• On August 20, 2025, Netflix Turkey accidentally leaked the fight details online, igniting global buzz. The official announcement followed, confirming the clash for November 14.

• The fight was initially planned for Atlanta’s State Farm Arena but was moved to Miami’s Kaseya Center after permit issues and public backlash.

Rick Thompson, chairman of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission, didn’t hold back his thoughts: “It’s a money grabber, and I’m not OK with that.”

But whether critics like it or not, the stage is set.

🥊 Tale of the Tape

Boxer	Jake Paul	Gervonta Davis
Nickname	El Gallo (“The Rooster”)	Tank
Hometown	Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.	Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.
Record	12–1 (7 KOs)	30–0–1 (28 KOs)
Age	28	31
Height	6 ft 1 in (185 cm)	5 ft 5 in (165 cm)
Style	Orthodox	Southpaw
Recognition	Celebrity boxer	WBA Lightweight Champion

The size difference is glaring. Paul towers over Davis with a 6-inch height advantage and significantly longer reach. But Davis brings years of championship-level experience and knockout power, boasting 28 KOs in 31 fights.

🎤 The Build-Up & Banter

The September 22 press conference was… awkward, to say the least.

• Davis arrived on time — unusual for him — but gave a flat, disinterested performance, even brushing off fan criticism about not taking a rematch with Roach.

• Paul, ever the showman, tried to ignite the room by mocking Davis’s past literacy struggles, which created more cringe than hype. He also alluded to Davis’s legal troubles, calling him a “clown.”

• Davis fired back, dismissing Paul as irrelevant to “real boxing.”

The exchanges lacked the fire of traditional fight promotion, but the tension was undeniable. The narrative is clear: Paul wants legitimacy, Davis wants a payday without obligation.

🌎 Why This Fight Matters

For Jake Paul, this is another chance to prove he can hang with legitimate fighters after years of being dismissed as a “YouTube boxer.” His only loss — to Tommy Fury — still haunts him, and beating Tank, even in an exhibition, would silence critics.

For Gervonta Davis, the fight offers a massive payday and mainstream exposure outside of boxing purists. But for fans, there’s a fear: does this circus overshadow Davis’s true boxing legacy?

Netflix, meanwhile, is all-in. After securing Paul as their marquee fighter, this is another bold step into sports entertainment, aiming to merge spectacle with streaming dominance.

feared knockout artists alive?
