Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis’ upcoming exhibition match will indeed have a clear winner. Paul, known for his previous fights in the heavyweight division, is set to face the lightweight world champion, Davis, in Miami on November 14. Despite Paul weighing significantly more than his opponent, the bout was relocated from Georgia due to concerns raised by the commission about the weight gap.
Nakisa Bidarian, Paul’s business partner, confirmed that there will be a determined victor as both fighters have agreed to a maximum weight limit of 195lbs for the exhibition. The fight is scheduled for 10 rounds lasting three minutes each, with both Paul and Davis wearing 12oz gloves during the match. The event will feature three professional judges approved by the commission to score each round, ensuring a conclusive outcome if the fight goes the distance. Additionally, both fighters are undergoing rigorous testing with USADA.
When asked about his advantages in the upcoming fight, Paul emphasized his reach, size, and defensive strategy to keep Davis at bay. He expressed confidence in exploiting potential weaknesses in Davis’ defense, acknowledging Davis as a formidable opponent who pushes him to excel in the sport. Paul highlighted his rapid rise in boxing and his determination to demonstrate his skills further in the upcoming match.
In response to why he chose to face Paul instead of a rematch with Lamont Roach, Davis mentioned prioritizing his own interests and enjoying his current training camp. He anticipates an exciting event on November 14, emphasizing the spectacle that both fighters, especially Paul, will bring to the ring. Davis emphasized that the fight will not only showcase his skills against Paul but also contribute to an electrifying card, providing the excitement that boxing enthusiasts crave.
