Jake Paul will take on reigning WBA lightweight champion Gervonta 'Tank' Davis in an exhibition bout slated for November 15, 2025, at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. The bout will be streamed live on Netflix, marking a rare convergence of influencer culture and elite professional boxing, according to reports. However, Netflix is yet to confirm or reject the development as we wait for official announcement.
The fight raises eyebrows not just for its high-profile names, but also for the nearly 65‑pound weight difference separating the two fighters—Paul weighed in at around 199.4 lbs during his last contest, while Davis typically fights near 134 lbs.
As an exhibition, the match is expected to allow for rule modifications—such as catchweight adjustments, larger gloves, and other spectacle-friendly factors—akin to the Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather event of 2021.
Boxing reporter Mike Coppinger noted that the bout is “more of an entertainment spectacle than a competitive fight,” aimed at generating massive commercial interest rather than sporting legitimacy.
The announcement has generated mixed reactions. Lamont Roach Jr., who was scheduled for a rematch with Davis, reacted with a mocking “Told ya lol” message on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting Davis was avoiding him.
Rival boxer Ryan Garcia voiced skepticism about the feasibility of the matchup, questioning whether Davis would balloon up to nearly 195 lbs.
Meanwhile, veteran boxer Shakur Stevenson previously remarked that Davis choosing Paul over legitimate contenders like himself would be “disrespectful” to the sport.
This crossover event underscores Netflix’s growing ambitions in live sports. The streamer’s previous venture into boxing—the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight in November 2024—set a global streaming record, averaging 108 million viewers and peaking at 65 million concurrent streams.
