Jake Paul has confirmed he will fight Gervonta “Tank” Davis on Friday, November 14, 2025, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The event will be streamed globally on Netflix and included in the subscription.
Paul announced it on X in his usual blunt style. “Gervonta who has been disrespecting my name for too long. His nickname might be Tank, but I’m an FPV drone and I’m about to disable tiny boy. Yes, he’s 1 of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath.”
What finally made Paul vs Davis real
Most Valuable Promotions framed it as the payoff to a long build. They called the fight “the culmination of four years of callouts and a brewing rivalry.” MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian put the focus on reach and demographics: “Jake Paul and Tank Davis have redefined the professional combat sports landscape as the top fighters among Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences. Now they will collide to determine the true face of boxing’s next generation.”
The business case is straightforward. Netflix reported an average minute audience of 108 million for Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson in November 2024, the highest for any sporting event on the platform. That kind of scale explains why Davis would leave his natural division for a one-off that delivers money and global exposure he does not get at lightweight.
The size gap is the story, and the contract will decide the risk
Davis is a career lightweight who has boxed as high as 140. Paul has operated near cruiserweight and often weighs over 190 on fight night. Even with a catchweight, Paul brings height, reach, and mass. The real fight starts at the negotiating table. Expect attention on the contracted limit, same-day checks, any rehydration cap, glove size, and ring dimensions. Those details will tilt advantages. A tighter weight and rehydration window favors Davis’ speed and timing. A higher limit with light restrictions suits Paul’s strength and physicality.
