A major exhibition bout heads to Atlanta as Paul meets Davis in a fight fans won’t want to miss

The business of boxing never sleeps, and few names keep the wheels turning like Jake Paul. Fresh off consecutive bouts—one against a legend, Mike Tyson, and one against Julio César Chávez Jr., the son of a legend—Paul remains one of the sport’s biggest draws. Now, fans will have another reason to tune in on November 15 when Paul meets Gervonta “Tank” Davis in Atlanta. With Netflix at the helm, this o ne promises to be a spectacle that generates massive numbers.

The fight was officially confirmed by Ring Magazine, reporting: ‘BREAKING: Jake Paul will face Gervonta “Tank” Davis on November 15th at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, in an exhibition live on Netflix, sources confirm to Mike Coppinger.’

What makes this pairing even more intriguing is the backstory. Talks for Paul to face heavyweight star Anthony Joshua collapsed over network issues, leaving an opening for Davis to step in.

This matchup had been whispered about earlier in the year, but Davis’s controversial draw against Lamont Roach temporarily stalled negotiations. Matters were further complicated when Davis faced legal trouble following the fight, though those charges were recently dropped, clearing the path for new opportunities inside the ring.

As for the details, the bout is confirmed as an exhibition and will stream globally on Netflix. It’s scheduled for November 15, 2025, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Adding to the intrigue is the staggering 65-pound weight gap—Paul last fought at 200 pounds, while Davis rules as a 135-pound lightweight champion.

In the end, this isn’t just about the fighters—it’s about the stage. Netflix continues to expand its footprint in combat sports, and a Paul vs. Davis showcase fits perfectly into its strategy. Love it or hate it, this fight will entertain, and when the lights hit Atlanta, all eyes will be on Netflix.
