Sensational clearing is officially on the horizon when Jake Paul, 28 -year -old Cruiserweight Sensation (12 -1, 7 Kos), is built to face the undefeated light champion WBA Gervonta “tank” Davis (30 -0 -1, 28 Kos) 14 November 2025 Netflix. The announcement follows months of speculation and even public denial, which stimulated fascination across boxing and entertainment circles.
What distinguishes this match is the stunning weight disparity. Paul last competed at approximately £ 199, while Davis is firmly in a light division of £ 135, creating a gap of over £ 60. Since its debut in 2013, the tank has a career worthy of Hall of Fame and climbed to three weight classes, won several world titles and set up a victory in the field of stopping over the highest competition. These include Jose Pedraza, Ryan Garcia, Frank Martin, Rolando Romero and Isaac Cruz.
Their rivalry between Paul and Davis has been watching years. Paul’s recent interest in the fight against Davis was delayed when the tank took a controversial draw against Lamont Roach Jr. The planned retaliation and Paul’s further persecution failed, including a potential struggle against Anthony Joshua with heavy weight. Now that the negotiations of Joshua stopped, Davis’s struggle became Paul’s Marquis of 2025.
Trash Talk has already begun. Paul described Davis as a “little boy” and himself “FPV drone” “promises to” ban “Davis from” defeat Goliath “(put on Joshua).
“Gervonta, who doesn’t respect my name for too long.” Yes, it’s one of the best pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone at any time, anytime, against all the chances. And I like my chances. I will kill David first, then I will go to the defeat Goliath. “
Meanwhile, this struggle will take care of Paul’s showmanship and the size of the benefits against Davis’s technical skills and a brutal knockout strength and creates an event of personality like pugilism.
Such a match causes mixed reactions from the boxing community as expected. Critics like Ryan Garcia, disagreement of disagreements like “deceit”, while others questioned its impact on the integrity of sport. Nevertheless, Netflix has shown his appetite for the time being: Paul’s previous streaming events, including his fight with Mike Tyson last November, which attracted over 108 million viewers and transformed the Live Boxing Entertainment.
