Gervonta Davis Biggest Rival Offers To Spar With Jake Paul To Help Him Prepare For Fight

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is gearing up for his controversial showdown with three-weight world champion Gervonta Davis.

Paul is set to face reigning WBA lightweight ‘Tank’ Davis in a scheduled ten round exhibition clash at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Friday November 14.

READ: Jake Paul Names ‘Monster’ Boxer as Only Man He’d Refuse to Fight

Paul returned to the ring for the first time in seven months back in June as he defeated former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr via unanimous decision at the conclusion of their ten round cruiserweight bout in Anaheim.

As for Davis, the 30-year-old from Baltimore has been inactive since his WBA world title defence against countryman Lamont Roach Jr in March ended in a controversial majority decision draw.

With the fighters now in preparation for their meeting in November, Paul has shared details to Fight Hub TV of how long-term Davis rival and unbeaten WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson ‘wants’ to spar with him ahead of the clash.

“In terms of sparring we got some great guys coming in, some really experienced southpaws that are smaller. I think Montana Love is coming in, Shakur Stevenson wants to come in, Jamaine Ortiz we’re gonna hit up, Erickson Lubin some of these guys so we’re just gonna bring in a plethora of fighters that are fast, quick, shifty southpaws.”

Just like Davis, Stevenson is a three-weight world champion, and was last in action in July when he successfully defended his WBC lightweight title against William Zepeda.

‘Tank’ and Stevenson have been rivals for a number of years, with fans and analysts expressing their frustration that they are yet to share the ring with each other, and that hasn’t been helped with the duo recently going back and forth on social media where it appears the fight was ruled out for good.

Jake Paul Names ‘Monster’ Boxer as Only Man He’d Refuse to Fight

By Admin October 4, 2025

Jake Paul has named a ‘monster’ boxer that he says is the only man that he would ever refuse to fight.

The American Youtuber-turned-boxer has made a huge impact within the sport since making his debut against Deji Olatunji back in 2018. Since then, Paul has shared the ring with several former MMA stars, including Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva.

In 2023, he fought an active boxer for the first time, narrowly losing to Tommy Fury by split decision. But his career ended genuine momentum last when when he defeated the heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in a unanimous decision.

Paul is set for another blockbuster fight in November, when he will take on the WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis.

And while Paul is not short on confident, he had admitted there was one fighter he would never want to take on.

Speaking on the BS w/ Jake Paul podcast sat across from David Benavidez, Paul said: “When my manager is talking about fights, the only no is you.

“I will not fight this f****** guy. He is a monster, bro. I would f***** die. I know my boundaries and that’s the thing.”

Despite that admission, Paul quickly mentioned some of the biggest names in boxing and claimed that he would fight them.

“I want to fight Anthony Joshua, because I know that I will f****g beat Anthony Joshua’s ass,” Paul added.

“He doesn’t have a chin and he has no skill and he’s stiff. And I love you Anthony, we’re friends, all this s**t, but I want to fight you.

“I will beat Canelo. I will beat a lot of f*****g people. I will not beat David Benavidez, I would get torn up. This guy is different.”

Joshua has not fought since September 2024, when he was stopped by Daniel Dubois at Wembley. The 35-year-old currently has no fight lined up, so this could be the first year that he does not fight, since he turned professional back in 2013.

But promotor Eddie Hearn refused to rule out a potential return.

He told iFL TV: “There could be a possibility.

“I’m not saying that’s for sure, but at the end of the day, a lot of it depends on who he fights.”

Meanwhile, Canelo Alvarez has also faced questions over his future after his recent defeat to Terence Crawford.

The Mexican confirmed that retirement is not on his mind, but he has undergone elbow surgery that will keep him out until the new year.

Jake Paul mocks Floyd Mayweather as he ignites $40 million

Jake Paul mocks Floyd Mayweather as he ignites $40 million private jet battle

Jake Paul has sparked a new feud with Floyd Mayweather – simply over the size of their respective private jets.

Both Paul and Mayweather are known to take great pride in their wealth, and regularly flaunt it online.

JUST IN: Gervonta Davis’ Real Reason for Announcing Retirement Resur

Paul has certainly taken home some hefty paycheques, since he turned his hand to professional boxing in 2020.

His biggest, and most controversial, payday came in at a reported $40million when he faced Mike Tyson back in 2024.

Whereas Mayweather has pocketed between $1.2 and $1.5 billion across his illustrious 50-0 career, as well as his appearances in exhibition bouts.

He even faced the Youtuber-turned-boxer’s brother, Logan Paul, in 2021.

From their exhibition clash alone, Mayweather reported to have been paid $100million.

The pair often show-off their earnings on social media and in the latest brag, Paul posted a video on Instagram of their two private jets parked next to each other.

He says: “Hahaha, Floyd I thought you had a big jet?!

“Six windows? Try 14!”

The irony of the call-out is that despite Paul’s jet being bigger in size, it actually cost less than Mayweather’s.

His Bombardier Global Express private jet comes in at $40million.

Whereas Mayweather’s Gulfstream G650, nicknamed ‘Air Mayweather’ set him back $60million.

What will be the next payday for Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather?

Both men are pencilled in for exhibition bouts in the near future.

Paul is gearing up to face WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis on November 14, in an extraordinary and bizarre bout.

Their meeting will be contested at a 195lbs catchweight, over 10 three-minute rounds.

Paul could well add another private jet to his collection after the commercial blockbuster, given he has suggested he could pocket another purse close to $50 million.

While Mayweather is set to face-off with Tyson in Spring 2026, but specifics are yet to be revealed.

The high-profile boxing legends are too set to earn big for the commercial blockbuster, which has been tipped to outsell Paul’s previous win over Tyson.

The 48-year-old has teased a potential return to the pro scene, following his clash with the heavyweight icon.

One thing that’s certain, is their retrospective earnings are set to continue skyrocketing, as neither boxer seems keen to leave the ring behind just yet.

10 things we now know about Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis

By Admin September 25, 2025

Some things need to be seen to be believed and a 10-round exhibition bout between Jake Paul, a cruiserweight, and Gervonta Davis, a lightweight, is one of them.

The exhibition, or spectacle, is set to take place in Miami, Florida on November 14, but before that, on Monday, Davis and Paul met at a press conference, where the world saw for the first time the size difference between the pair and received confirmation of what they already knew: it’s all a bit silly.

We also learned some other key bits of information at Monday’s press conference and understood that for as much as we tried to deny the possibility of its existence the fight – or exhibition – has now moved a step closer to becoming a reality.

Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis Size Difference Seen in Viral Video of Fight Faceoff

JUST IN: After Conquering Canelo, Terence Crawford Faces A New Threat In

1) It means absolutely nothing

This we knew the moment the fight was announced, of course, but Monday’s press conference only hammered home the triviality of it all. It is, like so many these days, a fight as forced as it is shallow and there is nothing between Davis and Paul to make the pre-fight build-up remotely compelling as even a bit of amateur theatre. At the very least it should have been that.

2) It is Jake first, then Tank

If it wasn’t clear beforehand who was running the show, now it is. The man running the show is Jake Paul, whose name came before Davis’ on the press conference backdrop – “JAKE VS. TANK” – and without whom an abomination like this would not be possible. Davis, the WBA lightweight champion, has no real power in this situation, nor does he have anything like the pull Jake Paul has in this odd corner of the combat sports world. It’s perhaps why Davis is content to play second fiddle and why he genuflects at the feet of a man who is not only bigger in stature and shoe size but whose profile sadly dwarfs Davis’ as well.

3) There will be 10 three-minute rounds

At least with 10 three-minute rounds it will have the smell of a proper boxing match without ever feeling like one. At least in that time – half an hour – there is the possibility of one of the two boxers becoming tired with the charade and keeling over due to either exhaustion or, more likely, embarrassment. Whether that’s Paul or Davis hardly matters in truth. It would just be nice if on a night like November 14 we didn’t have to experience the added indignity of calling on three professional judges and have them pretend like any of it matters.

4) Paul is six inches taller than Davis

The face-off pictures looked every bit as ridiculous as you imagined they would and did nothing to change the consensus view that this fight shouldn’t really be happening. Jake Paul, on social media, captioned one of the pictures with “Bring your kid to work day” and in less than two months he will be trying to fight and knock out that “kid”. Sounds fun.

5) The fight has a 195-pound weight limit

Jake Paul isn’t just bigger than Gervonta Davis, he is a lot bigger. In fact, Paul weighed 227 pounds when he fought Mike Tyson last November and was then just shy of 200 when boxing Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr in June. For this one he has promised to come in lighter, aware that Davis competes at around the 135-pound mark, although it is worth noting that Paul has not been lighter than 195 pounds – the stipulated weight limit for this exhibition – since he fought Nate Diaz in 2023. Davis, meanwhile, believed the weight limit had been set at 190, not 195, and expressed his dismay when he was corrected on Monday.

6) USADA will handle the drug testing

While you always worry when the promoters announce the drug-testing agency for a fight as though it is an undercard bout, in some cases transparency is essential. This is one such case, by all accounts, and therefore the involvement of USADA was announced on Monday like it was all that was needed to show that everything was fine and above board. If only it were that simple.

7) They are both “f****** clowns”

It didn’t take long for Davis and Paul to start going at each other on Monday and for us to in turn realise how difficult this one will be to sell beyond its little and large angle. In Paul, you have a man whose pro wrestling approach is now trite, with all his tricks seemingly played, while in Davis you have someone so bored of the sport that he slurs his words with the lethargy of a man halfway up the stairs on his way to bed. On Monday, Davis went after Paul for his lack of style, telling him, “Anybody who rocks a mohawk is a f****** clown,” to which Paul replied: “Gervonta, you’re the f****** clown, buddy. Any man who puts his hands on a woman is the clown.” By that point two men dressed as clowns had appeared on stage – no, really – which brought the total of clowns on stage to four.

8) Davis is dead inside and bored

Rather than stand his ground, or even stand straight, it was noticeable how during Monday’s face-off Davis made the decision to slump his shoulders and almost cower in the presence of Paul. In doing so Davis made Paul look rather ludicrous by virtue of giving him nothing. It also showed a level of contempt, I felt, both for the man Davis will fight on November 14 and for the sport in which he occasionally competes.

9) Paul continues to get away with it

When Paul looked down at Davis during their face-off, he didn’t just look down on his next opponent, he looked down on the sport of boxing. It certainly gave that impression anyway. There he was standing tall, allowed to get away with acting the fool, while Davis, or boxing, just stood opposite and let it happen, a cuckold in all but name. There was at no stage any resistance or retaliation on his/our part. Instead, he – or we – thought only about the money and the attention Paul could bring and clenched our fists and bit our tongue.

10) A lot of people will watch it

It goes without saying that Paul vs. Davis will be a ratings success. After all, not only does it involve the great Jake Paul, a man who attracts attention like nobody else, but it is also being shown on Netflix, a platform similarly adept at forcing braindead doom-scrollers to watch things with zero artistic merit just to pass the time/distract from daily life. Whether this fight in November does Paul vs. Tyson numbers (104 million) remains to be seen (though it is unlikely), but there’s every chance it surpasses the number (41 million) that watched Terence Crawford dazzle against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez 10 days ago. If it does, consider it a win for Jake Paul, not a win for boxing.

Why Gervonta Davis Doesn’t Care If Fans Are Mad He’s Fighting J

By Admin September 23, 2025

Gervonta Davis Doesn’t Care If Fans Are Mad He’s Fighting Jake Paul, Not Lamont Roach

Gervonta Davis doesn’t care if boxing fans are bothered by him fighting Jake Paul rather than taking a rematch with Lamont Roach.

The unbeaten WBA lightweight champion stated exactly that during a press conference Monday night in New York to promote his November 14 bout with Paul at Kaseya Center in Miami.

“Why should I care? Why should I care what they think, when y’all switch?,” Davis asked. “Y’all switch. Somebody can have a bad day and y’all switching on who y’all favorite fighter is or who this person is supposed to fight. Like y’all need to sit back and be fans and just enjoy the sport. Like y’all even talk about people personal lives. Like when it come to that?”

READ: Why Ranking Terence Crawford above Floyd Mayweather ‘can be s

A frustrated Davis is obviously bothered by the public’s reaction to his 12-round majority draw with Roach on March 1 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The powerful southpaw from Baltimore entered the ring as a 16-1 favorite, yet Roach gave Davis the most difficult fight of his career.

If referee Steve Willis correctly called a knockdown when Davis took a knee early in the ninth round, the three-division champion would’ve lost on the scorecards.

Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs), seemingly intent to redeem himself, exercised his contractual right to an immediate rematch with Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOs). It was pushed back twice, however, before Baltimore’s Davis ultimately decided to oppose Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) in a higher-profile event Netflix will stream worldwide.

Paul, a cruiserweight, most recently weighed in 65 pounds higher than Davis did for his fight with Roach. The rules regarding their fight haven’t been specified.

The prevailing opinion among boxing fans is Davis didn’t want to fight Roach again. The 30-year-old Davis argued Monday that he is held to a different standard than some of his contemporaries.

“And y’all keep on talking about fighting somebody?,” Davis said before alluding to Paul. “Didn’t he just have a fight? Didn’t he just have a fight? And what happened? What happened? What happened? He won, right? But how he look in it? Exactly. But y’all say some different [expletive] when it’s me, right? Because y’all want me to lose.

“When y’all see people in that limelight too long, they want somebody else, you know, to come take that spot. That’s why it’s always like, c’mon, bro. That’s what happened with Floyd. Y’all seen him too much and once y’all seen him so much, y’all started hatin’ on him. Like it turned from love to hate. You know?”

Terence Crawford shouldn’t fight Jake Paul for one key reason, according to former world champion

Fans back out of Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis after key detail is confirmed

Fans are ready to move on from Jake Paul’s upcoming bout with Gervonta Davis due to the ruleset.

There has been a lot of negativity surrounding Paul’s next bout ever since it was initially announced.

Critics immediately pointed to the huge height and weight difference between ‘The Problem Child’ and the boxing star that he has set his sights on.

JUST IN: Major Rule Announced For Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis That Has

However, it isn’t just some of the fans who took issue with the matchup seemingly being a physical mismatch despite their respective skill levels.

Paul’s clash with Gervonta Davis will now take place in Florida after receiving pushback from Georgia, which has led to some more details being revealed.

Fans react to Florida Athletic Commission confirming that Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis will take place as an exhibition

Speaking to USA TODAY Sports, the executive director of the Florida Athletic Commission, Timothy Shipman, confirmed that Jake Paul will face Gervonta Davis in an exhibition match.

“You can’t do a fight like that as a pro fight,” Shipman said. “It’ll be an exhibition fight.’’

Similarly to the concerning location move, he states that the main reason for this is the significant weight discrepancy between the two opponents.

An exhibition is defined by Florida statutes as “a boxing, kickboxing, or mixed martial arts engagement in which persons participating show or display their skill without necessarily striving to win using strikes and blows to the head or other full-contact maneuvers.”

While it always seemed like this was going to be the case once the bout was announced, this recent confirmation caused some fans to draw a line under the contest once and for all.

‘Yup. A fake fight and absolutely no one asked for. Will be a complete joke on an event.’

‘So a glorified pillow fight.’

‘Don’t watch it boxing fans and if it’s PPV certainly don’t buy it. Glorified spar, bigger gloves and no one can win. Both will hug at the end and walk away with millions, while your pockets will be lighter, don’t do it.’

‘So it’s official, they won’t be trying to hurt and knock each other out. What’s the point in this circus?’

‘This fight is dumb…’

‘Take another advantage off Tank then? Yeah, why not. 80lbs and now pillow gloves. Will be making him wear lead boots next.’

🚨 Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis will be an exhibition with “larger gloves,” according to Florida Athletic Commission executive director Timothy Shipman

Jake Paul’s promotion had suggested wearing larger gloves to counter the weight discrepancy

Some of the replies listed above made reference to the fight taking place in “larger gloves” as another knock on the legitimacy of the bout.

While it appears that this quote was incorrectly attached to the Florida Athletic Commission’s Timothy Shipman, it was suggested by Most Valuable Promotions.

The article from USA TODAY Sports reports that MVP were prepared to accept the fight being an exhibition in the original location of Georgia and that they would take extra safety precautions to have the weight restrictions lifted.

These included wearing larger 12-ounce gloves and both fighters undergoing anti-doping tests via the US Anti-Doping Agency, or USADA.

Major Rule Announced For Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis That Has Fans Saying Fight Is ‘Waste Of Time’

Further clarity has been revealed ahead of the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis fight.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul is set to face WBA lightweight champion Davis at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida on Friday 14 November, after it was moved from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

The bout has received criticism from some of the boxing world due to the massive weight and size difference between the two men, with Paul having weighed as heavy as 227lbs in his boxing career, while ‘Tank’ has never competed above the 140lb limit.

JUST IN: Why Terence Crawford’s Next Move Will Make Floyd Mayweather & Tyson Fury Jealous

Last time out, Paul fought at cruiserweight when he defeated former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in June, while Davis was held to a majority decision draw in his WBA lightweight title defence against Lamont Roach in March.

It was believed that ‘Tank’ would have an immediate rematch with Roach until he instead he opted for the clash with Paul, but it had yet to be officially revealed what the rules the pair would be fighting under.

Executive director of the Florida Athletic Commission Timothy Shipman has now confirmed some of the plans, after he explained to USA Today that the clash will be an exhibition.

“You can’t do a fight like that as a pro fight. It’ll be an exhibition fight. “I’m looking at the details right now. I mean, it’s happening pretty fast. But I am sure there will be other stipulations because you can’t do it with the same requirements.”

Some fans have reacted poorly to the news, with one branding it ‘a waste of time’ – while another described it as a ‘clown show.’

Paul and Davis are set to meet at their first press conference on Monday, where the big size difference will be visible for the first time.

Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul fight could still take place on one con

Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul fight could still take place on one condition

Eddie Hearn remains open to a fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul, provided the latter isn’t defeated by Gervonta Davis.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer recently returned to the ring for the first time since his victory over Mike Tyson in June, taking on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Paul emerged victorious in a dominant decision over the former middleweight champion. Just months after this win, the young American confirmed he will be facing Davis on November 14 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

In recent months, Paul has been vocal about wanting a showdown with Joshua, which seemed likely to happen early next year. The ‘Problem Child’ was so eager to fight the two-time heavyweight champion that he was even prepared to accept a mere ONE PER CENT of the purse.

JUST IN: Why Eddie Hearn feared he had made huge Anthony Joshua mista

However, after a brutal snub from Joshua, it appears the Brit has moved on. ‘AJ’ hasn’t fought since his loss to Daniel Dubois last September but is expected to make a comeback next year. Amid discussions of a return, Hearn has not ruled out a potential clash between Joshua and Paul – but concedes they will completely move on if the ‘Problem Child’ is defeated by ‘Tank’, reports All Out Fighting.

“I spoke to Nakisa Bidarian today (Monday), they want to make the Jake Paul fight,” Hearn told Ariel Helwani. “And I said to Nakisa ‘we were right up for that fight, and we would do it. But, we cannot take that fight without seeing what happens against Tank.’ Because if you get flattened by Tank, don’t even think we can make an AJ fight.”

It would not spell disaster if Joshua misses out on facing Paul, as Hearn acknowledges he is eyeing a massive bout for his prized fighter next summer. “Right now, we are planning to return in January or February. It has been well documented. We have had that offer, an approach from Ghana, and I think it would be the most tremendous thing for AJ to fight in Africa,” Hearn continued.

“I really do. When you look at what he has done in his career, I think it would just be wild. He needs that fight. It has been a year now that he has been out of the ring. If we are going into a (Tyson) Fury or we are going to a (Daniel) Dubois, (Oleksandr) Usyk… whoever it is going to be… there will be a major fight next summer.”

Hearn reckons a potential showdown between Tyson Fury and Joshua would represent boxing’s biggest spectacle. The ‘Gypsy King’ declared his retirement in January following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk last year, but dramatically reversed his decision in July.

Despite his previous comments, Fury has stated that he won’t be stepping back into the ring, even though he regularly posts training videos. Regardless of whether Joshua fights the ‘Gypsy King’, Hearn is keen to arrange a match for his star against a top contender next summer.

The boxing promoter concluded: “He needs to get back in the groove against a top twenty guy, that he can go in, blow the cobwebs off, look good and gear himself up for the last big roll of the dice. Right now, I would say January or February in Africa is very common and I would be looking to head out to see AJ next week to try and finalise some plans.”

Jake Paul Announces Major Change to Gervonta Davis Fight

By Admin September 18, 2025

Jake Paul is set to face off against Gervonta “Tank” Davis in what will be the toughest test yet in his boxing career.

Despite the pair agreeing to a bout on November 14, a massive change to the fight has already been made. Paul announced the change via his Most Valuable Promotions. According to the promotion, the planned Paul vs. Davis bout is being moved from Atlanta, Georgia, to Miami, Florida.

The fight was supposed to take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, which has a reported capacity of 17,000. Now, it moves to the Kaseya Center, where the Miami Heat play their games. The Kaseya Center holds 20,000 people.

JUST IN: Why Terence Crawford isn’t interested in facing the opponent that Turki Alalshikh named

Paul vs. Davis will still be streamed globally on Netflix, and fans can watch the matchup at no extra cost on the streamer. Considering the venue change, Paul, Davis, and MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian all made statements about the move via a press release.

“New city, same mission, seek and destroy the tank,” said Jake Paul. “Kaseya Center. Friday, November 14. I’m bringing the heat, and Miami will see me take down this angry elf while the world watches live on Netflix.” “Jake Paul has been cherry picking in the sport of boxing for a while now, but he picked the wrong opponent this time,” said Tank Davis.

“He better start losing some weight, chasing some chickens, and pray that helps him some on fight night! Thank you to Netflix for giving me the opportunity to whoop this clown!”

“Most Valuable Promotions, together with Netflix, is bringing the most disruptive fight of the year to Miami, and we could not be more thrilled to showcase this blockbuster event at Kaseya Center,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions.

“On Friday, November 14, fans in Miami and tens of millions watching globally will witness two of boxing’s most electrifying stars collide in a once-in-a-lifetime showdown. We’re grateful to State Farm Arena and the GAEC for their support in this process.”

Paul most recently defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision in June, and received a world ranking of #74 in the cruiserweight division as a result of his victory. For Davis, he most recently fought Lamont Roach Jr., but their bout ended in a draw.

There were rumors that Roach and Davis would rematch, but he instead chose to fight Paul. It will be interesting to see if Paul can keep pace with the WBA lightweight title holder.
