Jake Paul vs.

Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis was a scheduled exhibition boxing match between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis. It was announced for 2025 and later cancelled before the event took place. The bout drew attention because of the large weight difference between the fighters and because it was planned as a Netflix-streamed event.

Background

The bout was announced as a crossover event pairing Paul, a social media personality turned professional boxer, with Davis, a championship-level lightweight fighter. It was promoted as a major Netflix boxing attraction. The matchup was considered notable because Davis fought at lightweight while Paul typically competed at cruiserweight, creating a major size disparity.

Scheduling and venue changes

The fight was initially set for State Farm Arena in Atlanta and later announced for Kaseya Center in Miami. It remained scheduled for November 14, 2025 despite the venue change.

Cancellation

The event was cancelled after legal allegations and a civil lawsuit involving Davis led promoters to withdraw the event. Reports indicated that promoters still intended for Paul to headline a Netflix event later in 2025 with a different opponent.

Significance

The matchup attracted wide attention because it paired fighters from very different weight classes and career backgrounds. It was also part of Netflix's push into live sports coverage. The size disparity between Davis at lightweight and Paul at cruiserweight was a major talking point.
