The exhibition boxing match between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis scheduled for Nov. 14 has been cancelled. Most Valuable Promotions made the announcement on Monday via press release.
The event was scheduled to take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami but the fight promotion and Netflix pulled the plug on the event after a lawsuit was filed against Davis alleging domestic violence.
The bout was originally planned to take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Georgia, but boxing officials in the state declined to host the bout due to the weight discrepancy. Paul fought 65 pounds heavier than Davis in their last fights.
Both MVP and Neflix still plan to have Paul headline a fight card on the streaming service before the end of the year.
“Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly,” said Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions in the statement. “While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025. Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent, and additional bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalized. We thank Netflix, the Kaseya Center, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for their partnership.”
Fans that purchased tickets will be refunded.
