Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis Fight on Netflix Called Off

Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions have announced that the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis has been canceled. This event was initially set for Friday, November 14, at Miami’s Kaseya Center.

Details of the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis Fight Cancellation

The fight was expected to be livestreamed globally on Netflix. Despite this setback, MVP reassured fans that they still intend to schedule a headline fight for Paul in 2025.

Background of the Match

Jake Paul, a digital influencer turned professional boxer, gained immense popularity after his previous fight against Mike Tyson. That match posted an astonishing average minute audience of 108 million global viewers, marking it as Netflix’s most-streamed sporting event.

Controversies Surrounding Gervonta Davis

The cancellation follows legal troubles for Gervonta Davis. Last week, he faced a civil lawsuit in Miami-Dade County, brought by his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel, alleging serious accusations including battery and false imprisonment.

Allegations include aggravated battery and kidnapping.
Davis had faced a different domestic violence accusation, which was dropped in August.
He is currently on probation due to a 2020 hit-and-run incident.

Calvin Ford, Davis’ trainer, defended him, labeling the lawsuit as “nonsense” and affirming that Davis is doing well. MVP has stated that it is thoroughly investigating the situation, underscoring their commitment to handling the matter with care.

Future Plans According to Most Valuable Promotions

Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, expressed gratitude towards Netflix and the venues involved, indicating that plans for Paul’s future event will still proceed. Specifics regarding the new date, location, and opponent will be released once finalized.
