Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis Canceled After Civil Lawsuit Alleging Assault and Kidnapping

MVP says Jake Paul will target a new opponent for a 2025 Netflix headliner.

Overview

  • Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix said the Nov. 14 Miami exhibition will not proceed and promised automatic Ticketmaster refunds within 14–21 days.
  • Court records show Davis’ ex‑girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, filed a Miami‑Dade civil suit on Oct. 30 alleging battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and emotional distress tied to an Oct. 27 incident at Tootsie’s Cabaret.
  • Davis has not addressed the new allegations publicly as coverage notes his prior domestic‑violence‑related arrests, with his trainer Calvin Ford dismissing the latest claims as “nonsense.”
  • Promoters are pursuing a replacement for Paul with multiple names reported by outlets, though options face broadcast and contractual hurdles such as DAZN ties for Ryan Garcia, and Francis Ngannou has indicated no interest.
  • Paul criticized Davis in a social media statement and MVP reiterated that details on a new date, location, opponent and undercard will be announced once finalized.
