Jake Paul’s Netflix match against Gervonta Davis is canceled
Jake Paul’s upcoming Netflix match against Gervonta “Tank” Davis was canceled days before the two were set to face off in Miami.
“Our team has worked closely with all parties to handle this situation responsibly,” Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, said in a statement sent to media Monday evening.
The high-profile Nov. 14 exhibition was canceled Monday after Davis was sued by an ex-girlfriend for battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to ESPN.
“Even if we do not move forward with this event, our plan remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025,” Bidarian said. “Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent and additional fights will be shared as soon as they are finalized.”
The fight attracted attention when it was announced in August – largely because Paul’s boxing CV includes some big names, although Davis, 30, would have been the first high-flying boxer in his prime that the 28-year-old former influencer had faced.
Paul fought former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on Netflix in November 2024. Tyson, 58, didn’t have the legs to keep up with his younger opponent.
Paul’s professional record includes 12 wins and one loss against reality TV performer Tommy Fury, whose half-brother is former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Davis is undefeated in 30 fights and has one draw to his name.
Paul called Davis “a walking piece of human garbage” on Monday Night X where he confirmed the fight was not happening.
