Overview

  • The crossover bout is confirmed for Nov. 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and will stream exclusively on Netflix.
  • Because Paul has been fighting near 200 pounds and Davis at 135, the contest will not be sanctioned as a professional fight.
  • Rules are not finalized; Jake Paul has floated 195 pounds and 10 three-minute rounds, though those terms await confirmation.
  • The WBA is reviewing Davis’s lightweight standing after he chose the Paul exhibition over an ordered Lamont Roach Jr. rematch.
  • The announcement complicates Jake Paul–Anthony Joshua talks, with promoter Eddie Hearn saying the Davis fight changes Joshua’s return plans, while reactions from figures like Claressa Shields and Shakur Stevenson reflect a split in the boxing community.
