Calvin Ford Targets Glove Rules as Davis–Paul Exhibition Set for Nov. 14 in Miami

The trainer says glove size is his lone concern for a matchup designated an exhibition because of the fighters’ size gap.

Overview

Gervonta Davis and Jake Paul are scheduled to fight at Miami’s Kaseya Center in a 10‑round exhibition with three‑minute rounds.
Organizers set a 195‑pound catchweight, which Calvin Ford said he would have preferred at 190 pounds.
Ford objected to plans for both fighters to wear 12‑ounce gloves and proposed 8 ounces for Davis and 10 for Paul, a mix he says was rejected.
The contest is not sanctioned as a professional bout due to the size disparity, with Paul a natural cruiserweight who has weighed 227 pounds and Davis a 135‑pound lightweight titleholder.
Ford defended skipping a WBA‑ordered Lamont Roach rematch, framing the Paul exhibition as the better financial decision for Davis.
