Paul-Davis Exhibition Set for Miami Nov. 14

Jake Paul will face WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an exhibition on November 14, 2025, at the Kaseya Center in Miami after organizers moved the bout from Atlanta when Georgia regulators refused to sanction it. The Florida State Athletic Commission approved conditions including a 10-round format with three-minute rounds, 12-ounce gloves, USADA testing, three judges to score and an agreement that the result will not count on either fighter's professional record. Promoters set a 195-pound maximum for Paul but other reports have disputed the exact weight limit, and critics have raised concerns about the size disparity between the roughly 6'1" Paul and 5'5" Davis. The event is expected to stream on Netflix according to reports, and ringside judges will award an official winner despite the bout remaining an exhibition. Tensions have intensified after a shouted $2 million handshake-style side bet at a press event — which Davis later said he wouldn't pay and which UFC veteran Chael Sonnen warned could be a con — and promoters have hinted at future plans including an in-principle meeting between Paul and Anthony Joshua.
