It’s official: Jake Paul, the YouTuber turned boxer, is stepping into the ring with Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
The date is set for November 14 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, and it’s going to be streamed globally on Netflix.
While this might look like a fight between a social media celebrity and a decorated boxer, let’s be real—Paul’s been calling out the boxing world for a while now. But will this fight be a real test of his skills, or will it be another publicity stunt?
Paul’s previous opponents were either handpicked for entertainment or slightly questionable in terms of their boxing credentials. But Davis, the WBC lightweight champion with an undefeated record, has been a knockout machine.
Paul, who’s 6’1″ and fought his last match at 199.4 pounds, will be at a significant size advantage, facing the 5’5″ Davis, who’s coming in at a much lighter 133.8 pounds. Experts are already predicting a mismatch, given the size difference and Davis’ experience.
Despite the size gap, Paul has been vocal about his intention to face real challenges. His team assures fans that this won’t be another “exhibition” match.
Still, the question lingers—will this be a legitimate fight or just another scripted spectacle in the world of social media boxing?
Either way, it’s clear that Paul is looking to prove himself against a real boxer, but the true test will come when they step into the ring.
