Overview
- Kickoff press events in New York and Miami delivered the first and second faceoffs, with viral visuals of Paul towering over Davis and a brief shove in the rematch staredown.
- Although designated an exhibition, three commission‑approved judges will score on the 10‑point must system so a winner is declared if it goes the distance, and the result will not appear on pro records.
- Davis publicly questioned the announced 195‑pound maximum after saying he was told 190, while MVP’s Nakisa Bidarian reaffirmed the 195 limit on stage.
- The fight was relocated to Miami’s Kaseya Center after Georgia’s commission opposed sanctioning due to the dramatic size disparity between the 6'1" Paul and 5'5" Davis.
- The Nov. 14 event streams on Netflix, with both fighters set to wear 12‑ounce gloves and participate in USADA testing under the Florida Athletic Commission’s exhibition framework.
