UPDATE: The highly anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis, scheduled for November 14, 2023, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, has been officially canceled. This shocking news comes just days after a civil lawsuit was filed against Davis, accusing him of serious charges, including battery and kidnapping.
The cancellation was announced by Most Valuable Promotions on November 3, following mounting concerns over the legal issues surrounding Davis. CEO Nakisa Bidarian stated, “Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly. While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025.”
Fans were eager to see this matchup, which was expected to deliver high stakes and thrilling action. Now, the focus shifts to who Paul might fight next. While there is no official confirmation, reports from Ring Magazine indicate that a deal is being finalized for Paul to face boxing heavyweight Anthony Joshua this December in Miami.
As the situation develops, fans and followers are left wondering what’s next for both fighters. Will the boxing community rally behind Paul’s next bout? Stay tuned for updates as details about a new fight date, location, and opponents emerge.
This cancellation not only impacts fight fans but also raises significant questions about the future of live sports on streaming platforms like Netflix, which has been gradually stepping into this arena. With two NFL games set to stream on Christmas, the streaming giant’s aspirations in live sports continue, despite this setback.
For now, fans will have to wait for further announcements on Paul’s next move and what it means for the future of boxing on streaming platforms.
