McGregor Unimpressed as Florida Confirms Rules for Paul–Davis Exhibition

Florida will stage the matchup as a judged exhibition in Miami with protective conditions to address the size gap.

Alycia Baumgardner, Gervonta "Tank" Davis, Jake Paul and Leila Beaudoin pose for photos at news conference for an exhibition match between Paul and Davis scheduled for November 14 at Kaseya Center on September 23, 2025 in Miami, Florida.

Overview

  • Conor McGregor told DAZN Boxing he is indifferent yet curious about Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis and plans to watch only the highlights on X.
  • The Florida Athletic Commission confirmed the bout is an exhibition that will not affect either fighter’s professional record.
  • The rules include 10 three-minute rounds at a 195-pound catchweight, 12-ounce gloves, and three judges with one AI judge scoring alongside two professionals.
  • The event is scheduled for Nov. 14, 2025, at Miami’s Kaseya Center and will stream globally on Netflix.
  • The matchup follows Georgia’s refusal to sanction the fight due to the size disparity, with Paul significantly larger than the 135-pound standout Davis; McGregor’s unrelated 18-month UFC whereabouts suspension leaves him ineligible until March 20, 2026.
