Overview
- The bout will stream on Netflix from Miami’s Kaseya Center with a 195 lb maximum, 10 three‑minute rounds, 12‑ounce gloves, USADA testing, three commission‑approved judges, and a declared winner that will not count on pro records.
- Face‑offs in New York and Miami highlighted the extreme mismatch in stature, with the 6'1" Paul towering over the 5'5" WBA lightweight champion and Davis moving up roughly 60 pounds to meet the catchweight.
- During the rules announcement, Davis questioned the stated limit by saying he was told 190 pounds, as promoter Nakisa Bidarian reiterated the 195‑pound cap.
- The second press conference turned physical when Davis shoved Paul on stage, and a public handshake on a $2 million side bet was later dismissed by Davis on X as not genuine.
- The undercard features multiple title fights, including Alycia Baumgardner vs. Leila Beaudoin for unified super featherweight honors, Ellie Scotney vs. Mayeli Flores for the undisputed super bantamweight crown, Yokasta Valle vs. Yadira Bustillos for the WBC strawweight belt, and Gary Russell vs. Andy Hiraoka for the WBA junior welterweight title.
