Gervonta Davis Says He Will Retire After Jake Paul Exhibition on Nov. 14 in Miami

The lightweight star deactivated his social accounts after posting that "boxing is dead."

Overview

  • Davis wrote that he will retire in eight weeks and declared "BOXING IS DEAD" before deactivating his social media accounts.
  • He is scheduled to face Jake Paul in a Netflix-streamed exhibition on Nov. 14 at Miami’s Kaseya Center.
  • The bout is a 195-pound catchweight over 10 three-minute rounds with 12-ounce gloves, judged at ringside with a winner announced but no impact on professional records.
  • The matchup has drawn criticism over the size disparity, with Ryan Garcia calling it misleading given Davis typically competes at 135 pounds.
  • The undercard includes multiple title fights, highlighted by Alycia Baumgardner defending her unified super featherweight titles against Leila Beaudoin.
