Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis will have a decisive winner in their upcoming exhibition fight. The event is set to take place in Miami on November 14, with Paul facing the lightweight world champion despite a significant weight difference. The fight was relocated from Georgia due to concerns raised by the commission about the fighters’ contrasting sizes.
Nakisa Bidarian, Paul’s business partner, confirmed that the fight will be judged by three officials if it goes the full 10 three-minute rounds. Both fighters will wear 12oz gloves, and Paul must not exceed 195lb at the weigh-in the day before the match.
When discussing his advantages in the fight, Paul highlighted his reach, size, and strategy to keep his opponent at bay. He expressed confidence in exploiting gaps in Davis’s defense, emphasizing his own rapid progression in the sport. Paul sees the upcoming fight as a significant milestone in his career, aiming to showcase his skills against an experienced opponent.
Davis, when questioned about choosing to fight Paul instead of having a rematch with Lamont Roach, hinted at personal motivations driving his decision. He expressed enthusiasm for the event, emphasizing the excitement and anticipation surrounding the matchup. Davis believes that the fight will be a thrilling spectacle, not just between him and Paul but as part of a larger boxing card that promises to deliver entertainment and intensity on November 14.
