Florida Finalizes AI-Assisted Rules for Jake Paul–Gervonta Davis Exhibition as Malignaggi Urges Title Strip

Florida has approved an unusual, AI-assisted judged exhibition that will not affect records.

Overview

  • The exhibition is scheduled for November 14 at Miami’s Kaseya Center and will stream on Netflix as part of standard subscriptions.
  • Regulators confirmed a 10-round format with three-minute rounds, a 195lb maximum, and 12-ounce gloves.
  • Florida will treat knockouts and technical knockouts as fight-ending, yet the result will not be recorded on either fighter’s professional record.
  • The fight will be scored by three judges, with two human officials and an AI judge comprising the panel, according to the commission.
  • Criticism centers on the large weight disparity after promoters pulled their Georgia application following regulator objections, and Paulie Malignaggi has called for the WBA to strip Davis of his lightweight title.
