Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis Set for Netflix Exhibition This November
Hey everyone, have you heard the latest? A huge boxing event is officially on the calendar—Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis are set to face off in an exhibition bout on November 15 at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, and it’s going to be streamed on Netflix. This matchup has been generating buzz for months, and now it’s finally confirmed.
Gervonta Davis, who is 30 years old and holds a record of 30 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw, with 28 knockouts, was originally scheduled to defend his lightweight title against Lamont Roach this month. However, that fight was canceled after Davis faced an arrest in July related to alleged domestic violence charges. Fortunately for Davis, those charges were later dropped. On the other side, Jake Paul, 28, had been in talks to fight former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, but those negotiations fell through due to network disagreements. So instead, fans are getting this highly anticipated exhibition between two very different fighters.

Now, this is where it gets interesting. The fight is officially being promoted as an exhibition, which means it’s expected to lean more toward entertainment than competitive sport. The weight disparity between the two is significant—Paul, a cruiserweight, can weigh up to 200 pounds, while Davis competes at lightweight, capped at 135 pounds. To account for this, the rules and gloves will likely be adjusted, similar to what happened when Floyd Mayweather fought Logan Paul back in 2021. In that fight, weight limits were enforced and larger gloves were used.
Jake Paul, of course, is no stranger to the spotlight. He’s previously taken on Mike Tyson in 2023 in an eight-round bout at the age of 58, which marked Netflix’s entry into boxing. Paul won that fight via decision and went on to defeat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June. Throughout the past few years, he’s repeatedly called out Davis, despite the huge gap in weight classes.
Davis, meanwhile, is one of boxing’s brightest stars. He’s famous for his 2023 victory over Ryan Garcia, which surpassed the one million pay-per-view buy threshold, and he’s coming off a controversial draw against Lamont Roach in March. This exhibition is likely to earn him a massive payday, although critics argue that it won’t significantly enhance his professional reputation in the ring.
Height will also play a factor—Paul stands 6-foot-1, giving him a 7½-inch advantage over the 5-foot-5½ Davis. So, while fans can expect a flashy, high-profile event, many experts are describing it as “less fighting, more entertainment.” Regardless, it’s set to be a huge spectacle that will undoubtedly draw massive attention from boxing fans and casual viewers alike.
November 15 is now circled on every boxing fan’s calendar. Whether you’re a diehard fan of Gervonta Davis or curious to see how Jake Paul measures up, this Netflix exhibition promises drama, showmanship, and plenty of buzz.
