Jake PaulGervonta Davis Netflix Bout in Limbo as Lawsuit Triggers Replacement Search

The bout faces postponement as Paul’s promotion reviews a civil assault complaint, navigating broadcast contracts.

Overview

  • Most Valuable Promotions said it has opened an investigation, condemned violence and will decide next steps after completing its review.
  • Promoters are assessing new opponents, with reports naming Anthony Joshua, Terence Crawford, Nate Diaz and Francis Ngannou as options under consideration.
  • Ryan Garcia was approached but ruled out by Golden Boy’s Oscar De La Hoya, who cited DAZN’s contract as incompatible with Paul’s Netflix event.
  • Event planners are weighing a move from Nov. 14 to Dec. 12 or Dec. 19, with Eddie Hearn saying Joshua is open in principle while DAZN exclusivity remains a hurdle.
