"Jake Paul's upcoming Netflix match against Gervonta Tank Davis has been canceled days before the two were set to square off in Miami. Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly, Most Valuable Promotions CEO Nakisa Bidarian said in a statement sent to media Monday night. The highly publicized Nov. 14 exhibition was called off 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."
"While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still 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 bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalized. The fight drew attention when it was announced in August largely because Paul's boxing resume includes some big names, though Davis, 30, would've been the first top-flight boxer in his prime the 28-year-old former influencer has faced."
Jake Paul's scheduled Nov. 14 exhibition against Gervonta "Tank" Davis in Miami was canceled days before the fight. The cancellation followed a lawsuit from an ex-girlfriend accusing Davis of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Most Valuable Promotions said its team worked closely with all parties and that Paul is still planned to headline a Netflix event in 2025, with date, location, opponent and additional bouts to be announced when finalized. The matchup had drawn attention because Davis is an undefeated prime-level boxer and Paul previously fought Mike Tyson and Tommy Fury. Paul confirmed the cancellation on X and criticized Davis there.
