Overview

• The crossover bout is scheduled for State Farm Arena in Atlanta and will stream live on Netflix.
• Because of the size disparity, the matchup is set as a catchweight exhibition rather than a professionally sanctioned fight.
• Paul stated in a Betr video that he “has to make 195 pounds,” with Davis unlikely to approach that weight.
• Both fighters are expected to undergo random USADA drug testing, with details such as rounds and glove size still to be announced.
• The WBA is reviewing Davis’s lightweight recognition after he opted for this event over an ordered Lamont Roach Jr. rematch, as trainer Calvin Ford calls the matchup a risky fight and raises safety concerns.
