Hollywood News: Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis Fight Confirmed, Moved to Miami, Know Why?

Tuesday, September 23, 2025: The big boxing match between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis is happening. It will take place on Friday, November 14, 2025. The fight was first planned for Atlanta, but now it has a new location. It will be held in Miami, Florida, at the Kaseya Center.

This fight has been talked about for a long time. It is a very big deal in the boxing world. Jake Paul is a YouTube star who has become a boxer. Gervonta “Tank” Davis is a real and very good world champion boxer. This match is a big test for Jake Paul. It will show if he is a serious boxer or just a celebrity fighter.

Why did the location change?

The fight was originally scheduled for Atlanta, Georgia. But there was a problem with the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission.

The Commission was worried about the big difference in weight between the two fighters. Jake Paul is a cruiserweight, which is a heavier category. He fights at about 200 pounds (around 90 kg).

Gervonta Davis is a lightweight world champion. He fights at about 135 pounds (around 61 kg). This is a huge difference.

The chairman of the Georgia Commission, Rick Thompson, had a lot of concerns. He called the fight a “money grab.” He said it was not a real fight. He was worried about the safety of the fighters.

Because of this, Jake Paul’s promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), decided to move the event. They found a new home in Miami, Florida. The Florida commission is known to be more flexible with these kinds of fights.

The Rules of the Fight

Even though it is called an exhibition, there will be a winner. The rules for the fight have been decided.

• The fight will be at a weight limit of 195 pounds (about 88.5 kg).
• They will fight for 10 rounds. Each round will be three minutes long.
• Both boxers will wear 12-ounce gloves.
• Three professional judges will be at the ringside. They will score the fight.
• Both fighters will also have to do drug testing by USADA, which is a big deal in sports.

These rules show that this will be more than just a simple exhibition. It will be a serious boxing match. The winner will be declared, and it will be a real fight, not just a show.

The Press Conference Drama

Both fighters had their first big press conference in New York City. They came face-to-face and said many things to each other. Jake Paul said that his size and reach would be his biggest advantages. He said he would outbox a fighter who has been boxing for much longer than he has. He said this fight will “shut up more people.”

Gervonta Davis also spoke. He said that this fight is what boxing needs. He said it will bring a lot of excitement. He also said that he is giving up a lot of size to Paul. But he is confident that his skill and experience will get him the win.

What this means for the boxers

For Jake Paul, this is his biggest challenge yet. He has fought other YouTubers and older, retired MMA fighters. But Gervonta Davis is a world champion boxer in his prime. A win here would make Paul a very serious name in the boxing world. A loss, however, could show that he is not at the same level as top boxers.

For Gervonta Davis, this fight is a high-risk, high-reward situation. If he wins, it is what everyone expects. But if he loses, it would be a huge shock. It could damage his reputation as one of the best boxers in the world. He has a lot to lose, even though he will earn a lot of money.

The fight will be shown live on Netflix for all subscribers. This is a new thing in boxing. It will bring the sport to millions of people who might not watch boxing otherwise. This fight is not just a sports event; it is a big entertainment event. Everyone is waiting to see who will win this big matchup.
