Jake Paul is scheduled to fight the undefeated Gervonta Davis on November 14 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
This exhibition match will be streamed live on Netflix, according to promoters’ announcements on Wednesday.
Davis has held the WBA lightweight title since Devin Haney vacated it in 2023, but his championship will not be at stake in this bout due to the significant weight difference between the two fighters.
Paul, who fights in the cruiserweight division, weighed in at 199.4 pounds (90.45 kg) before his victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June, while Davis competed at 133.8 pounds (60.7 kg) against Lamont Roach in March.
Details regarding the weight limit for their upcoming fight have not yet been disclosed.
“Yes, he’s one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is, anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds,” Paul stated on X.

Paul’s most notable boxing match took place against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on November 15, 2024.
