Overview
- Most Valuable Promotions said it opened an investigation after the Oct. 30 civil filing against Gervonta Davis, and the Nov. 14 event is now in serious doubt as Netflix and Paul’s team map contingencies.
- Francis Ngannou confirmed Paul’s camp contacted him and that he rejected the offer, saying he has no interest and that the matchup makes no sense.
- Ryan Garcia was reportedly offered the bout but is effectively unavailable due to ongoing talks for a 2026 title fight and Golden Boy flagging broadcast conflicts with DAZN.
- Names floated by reporters include Nate Diaz, Anthony Joshua and Terence Crawford, with Eddie Hearn noting Joshua’s DAZN exclusivity, and Hall of Famer Andre Ward also reported as having been approached.
- Postponement to Dec. 12 or 19 is under discussion if a replacement is secured, with no official cancellation or new opponent announced.
