New location revealed for Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis after commission rejected exhibition

Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis will still take place, just not in Georgia.

Many had thought the upcoming boxing exhibition, which features a massive size disparity between the 6’1″ Paul and the 5’5″ boxing phenom Davis, was in jeopardy ahead of its Nov. 14 date.

Originally slated for State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, it was learned that Most Valuable Promotions had withdrawn their request for event permits and rule waivers to hold Paul vs. Davis there.

Following criticism from the Georgia State Athletic and Entertainment Commission for ‘promoting something they should not have been’, Paul has confirmed the show will go on—from a different state.

Paul took inspiration from basketball legend LeBron James, a former Heat player, when announcing they were going to Miami.

“This is very tough,” Paul wrote on X.

“But this fall I’m going to take my talents to South Beach and fight Tank Davis at the Kaseya Center, live on Netflix globally.

“That was my conclusion when I woke up this morning,” Paul wrote.
