Netflix to Stream Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis Fight on Nov. 14.
Jake Paul is set to face one of boxing’s biggest stars, Gervonta “Tank” Davis, in a fight planned for Friday, November 14, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The action will stream live worldwide on Netflix.
The exact weight at which they will box is not locked in yet. “We’re still finalizing that,” explained Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, which is putting on the fight.
Regardless of that final weight, everyone will call it the big man (Paul) against the small man (Davis). Paul is 6-foot-1 and weighed 199.4 pounds for his last fight, a decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June. Davis, the WBC lightweight champ, stands 5-foot-5 and weighed 133.8 pounds for his draw with Lamont Roach Jr. in March.
“Jake will for sure have to come in below the 200 pounds he is used to. I can promise you this will end with a clear result, whether by knockout or decision,” Bidarian said. He also made it clear that this is not an exhibition match, despite some reports suggesting otherwise.
Jake Paul focused on getting a fight with Gervonta Davis after a proposed heavyweight scrap with Anthony Joshua fell through. “We’re just waiting to flip the switch,” Bidarian said on the Paul-Joshua talks, eyeing a potential showdown in 2026. “Jake wants to prove he can beat Davis first, then take on the giant.”
Talks between Paul and Davis dragged through 2025 and only finalized after Davis’s rematch with Isaac Roach, scheduled for August, fell apart. The pair has traded barbs on social media for years, with Paul’s latest shot delivered through ESPN. “Gervonta’s just an angry little elf who’s been disrespecting my name way too long,” Paul scoffed. “He calls himself Tank, but I’m an FPV drone, and I’m about to ground him.”
Davis, who holds a 30-0-1 record with 28 knockouts, has become one of boxing’s biggest attractions. His April 2023 clash with Ryan Garcia at T-Mobile Arena netted an estimated 1.2 million pay-per-view buys and a $22.8 million gate, the fifth-largest in U.S. boxing history.

Davis is now set to battle the biggest crossover name in boxing: Paul, the social media star turned fighter. “This is the matchup the biggest names in the sport have been waiting for, aimed squarely at Gen Z and Gen Alpha,” said promoter Bidarian.
