Paul-Davis Fight Canceled Amid Lawsuit, Criminal Inquiry

The Jake Paul vs. Gervonta “Tank” Davis bout scheduled for Nov. 14 at Miami’s Kaseya Center and to be livestreamed on Netflix was canceled by Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix after Davis was sued and became the subject of a criminal inquiry amid allegations of domestic violence. MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian said promoters “will not be moving forward with this event” and that Paul is expected to headline a separate Netflix-streamed fight in 2025, with opponent, date and location to be announced. The matchup had been moved from Atlanta to Florida and was controversially sanctioned despite a large weight disparity — Paul typically fights at cruiserweight, roughly 50 pounds above Davis’s 135-pound division. The cancellation follows a civil suit filed by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel accusing Davis of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress; representatives for Davis have not publicly responded. Fans who bought tickets through Ticketmaster will receive automatic refunds within 14–21 days, and those who purchased via secondary markets were advised to contact those sites.
