Jake Paul, Gervonta Davis Verbally Switch to 10-Ounce Gloves After Press-Tour Clash

An onstage switch to 10-ounce gloves with a $2 million handshake bet underscores that the bout’s rules remain in flux pending Florida approval.

Overview

  • Paul and Davis agreed at a press event to use 10-ounce gloves after Davis’s trainer Calvin Ford challenged the previously announced 12-ounce setup.
  • The fighters also shook hands on a $2 million wager during the exchange.
  • Most Valuable Promotions had outlined initial terms of 195 pounds, 12-ounce gloves, 10 three-minute rounds, and three judges to score a winner, with knockouts permitted.
  • The Florida Athletic Commission has not confirmed any rule changes, and the contest is framed as a scored exhibition that will not affect pro records.
  • The Nov. 14 event in Miami on Netflix follows regulatory pushback in Georgia over the bout’s large size gap, which has fueled ongoing safety scrutiny.
