YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will step into the ring against WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis in an exhibition fight scheduled for November 14 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Davis’ world title will not be at stake due to the wide size disparity between the fighters—Paul weighed 200 lbs in his last bout compared to Davis’ 135 lbs.
The pair also differ significantly in stature, with Paul standing 6ft 1in and Davis 5ft 5in, giving Paul a nine-inch reach advantage.
Paul, 28, has built a 12-1 professional record since debuting in 2020, recently defeating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Mike Tyson.
He has previously hinted at ambitions of fighting Anthony Joshua, with promoter Eddie Hearn suggesting a potential clash in 2026.
Davis, 29, remains unbeaten in 31 professional contests, with 28 knockouts.
He last defended his WBA lightweight title in March with a draw against Lamont Roach Jr. and is ranked among the sport’s top pound-for-pound fighters.
Details including the contracted weight, number of rounds, and glove size are yet to be finalized.
The matchup mirrors Logan Paul’s 2021 exhibition with Floyd Mayweather, another fight marked by a major size difference.
