🥊 Jake Paul Vs. Gervonta “Tank” Davis: The Netflix Fight You Didn’t See Coming
Frens, the boxing world is in for a wild ride. Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis are officially set to face off on November 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, and this massive cultural event will be streamed live around the globe on Netflix.
Yes, you read that right. Netflix is stepping back into the ring, and this time, it’s bringing two of the sport’s most headline-grabbing stars to the forefront.
While the contracted weight and round count are still being worked out, one thing is clear.
This fight is about to shake up the boxing game in a big way.
🧨 From Twitter Jabs To Fight Night Confirmed
Talks between Paul and Davis have been brewing since early this year.
Originally, the bout was supposed to follow Davis’ WBA lightweight title defense against Lamont Roach Jr.
But after their surprising majority draw back in March, rematch rumors came and went, and Paul ended up taking a detour fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Now, with the dust settled, both teams locked back in and finalized a deal for what might be the most talked-about matchup of the year.
“The original timeline assumed that ‘Tank’ would be fighting Jake after he fought Roach,” said Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian.
“The outcome didn’t necessarily change anything per se… but our timeline of waiting around resulted in Jake fighting Chavez.”
⚖️ The Weight Debate: Cruiserweight Vs. Lightweight
Here’s where things get dicey.
Jake Paul, who weighed 199.4 pounds in his last fight, is expected to drop below 200 for this match.
Gervonta Davis, on the other hand, came in at 133.8 pounds in his bout with Roach.
That’s a huge weight gap.
“We’re still figuring that out,” Bidarian added. “Jake will definitely have to come down… We’re going to have a fight that will have a definitive outcome, whether by way of knockout or decision.”
No official word yet on whether this will be classified as an exhibition, but the teams are clear.
It won’t be for play-play.
🎤 Trash Talk & Title Shots: Jake Paul’s Next Chapter
Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) is currently ranked 14th by the WBA and has made it crystal clear he’s not here to be anyone’s punching bag.
“Gervonta is an angry little elf who has been disrespecting my name for too long,” Paul told ESPN. “His nickname might be Tank, but I’m an FPV drone… First, I’m going to kill David, then I’ll go on to slaughter Goliath.”
Tell us how you really feel, Jake.
While whispers of a heavyweight fight with Anthony Joshua had fans buzzing, Bidarian confirmed the Joshua bout is still being discussed for 2026.
🚀 Gervonta Davis: Undefeated, Untested At This Weight
Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) has never fought above 140 pounds, making this upcoming bout with Paul an uncharted challenge.
But don’t sleep on him.
His résumé includes selling out arenas and securing one of the highest-grossing gates in U.S. boxing history during his clash with Ryan Garcia in 2023.
After recently resolving legal issues, Davis is now focused on stepping into the ring with Paul, someone he’s traded shots with on social media for years.
👑 The Bigger Picture: Disruptor Vs. Destroyer
“This is a fight between the biggest fighters in the world for Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences,” Bidarian said. “It’s really about who is the true face of American boxing… The Disruptor versus The Destroyer.”
And honestly? He’s not wrong.
Netflix, boxing, and two polarizing fighters with massive fanbases? This has the makings of a record-breaking event.
