Jake Paul, the YouTube star turned boxer, is set to square off against undefeated lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis in an exhibition bout on November 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The fight will stream exclusively live on Netflix, marking another major combat sports event on the platform.
While both fighters are accomplished in their realms, a striking physical mismatch has captured fans’ attention: Paul typically weighs over 200 pounds and stands 6’1″, while Davis weighs around 135 pounds and stands 5’5″. This echoes prior mismatched exhibitions, with rules likely adjusted to reflect the disparity—bigger gloves, flexible weights, and modified rounds.
This matchup follows fallout from previously rumored fights—Paul’s potential bout with Anthony Joshua dissolved due to network issues, and Davis’s planned re-match with Lamont Roach Jr. was scrapped amid personal legal complications. Despite these setbacks, the event promises to be a blockbuster spectacle capitalizing on Paul’s promotional savvy and Davis’s elite ring skills.
