Jake Paul Set to Face Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in Exhibition Boxing Match on November 15
By Zamal Uddin | August 21, 2025
YouTube star turned professional boxer Jake Paul has reportedly lined up his next big fight. According to multiple reports, Paul will face WBA lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis in an exhibition boxing match scheduled for November 15, 2025. The highly anticipated event is expected to take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and will be streamed live on Netflix.
Jake Paul’s Next Challenge After Chavez Jr. Victory
Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) is coming off a major win in June when he defeated former world champion Julio César Chávez Jr. The 27-year-old, who stands at 6’1” and usually weighs around 200 pounds, had been in talks to fight Anthony Joshua, but negotiations reportedly broke down due to broadcasting and network disputes.
Now, instead of a heavyweight clash, Paul is turning to a different type of challenge—an exhibition bout against the much smaller but undefeated champion, Gervonta Davis.
Gervonta Davis: Undefeated Record and Reputation
Known for his explosive knockout power, Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) is one of boxing’s most feared fighters. The 5’5”, 134-pound lightweight star was expected to pursue a rematch with Lamont Roach, but the opportunity to face Paul in a high-profile exhibition appears to have shifted his immediate plans.
Despite the significant weight and size difference, this matchup is expected to draw massive attention, especially given Davis’s reputation and Paul’s global celebrity status.
A Fight of Entertainment and Business
Boxing insiders note that this clash is “more spectacle than sport”, considering the weight disparity and exhibition rules. Still, with both Paul and Davis commanding huge fanbases, the fight is predicted to be a major pay-per-view draw on Netflix’s growing sports lineup.
It’s worth noting, however, that State Farm Arena in Atlanta is also booked for comedian Nate Bargatze’s “Big Dumb Eyes World Tour” on the same date. Whether this scheduling conflict will impact the venue choice remains to be seen.
Why This Fight Matters
For Jake Paul, this matchup is another opportunity to boost his boxing credibility by sharing the ring with an undefeated world champion. For Gervonta Davis, it’s a chance to step into the spotlight outside of traditional title fights and attract a new wave of fans.
Regardless of the outcome, the Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis fight is set to be one of the most talked-about boxing events of 2025.
