Overview

• Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix confirmed the matchup for State Farm Arena with worldwide live streaming on the platform.
• The contracted weight and number of rounds remain undecided, and AP notes Georgia regulators would face hurdles approving a fully competitive bout given the size gap.
• Paul has recently fought near 200 pounds and is roughly 19–20 centimeters taller, while Davis competes at 135 pounds and has not fought above 140.
• Some outlets report the event will be an exhibition, though MVP’s Nakisa Bidarian has not labeled it as such and says Paul must come down in weight with a definitive result targeted.
• Reaction from the boxing community has been sharply critical, with Ryan García likening the matchup to WWE and questioning whether the weight disparity makes it feasible.
