Jake Paul has announced his next fight, a potentially massive bout against reigning WBA lightweight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) is reuniting with Netflix, which exclusively streamed his unanimous decision win over Mike Tyson last year, for a fight against Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) in Atlanta, Georgia. Davis will be the most prominent active fighter to step into the ring against Paul, a former YouTuber who has moved into the fight game. Previously, Paul had taken on MMA specialists, other social media influencers, and less-accomplished boxers.
‘Gervonta who has been disrespecting my name for too long,’ wrote Paul on X in a post announcing the bout. ‘Yes, he’s [one] of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds.’
This wasn’t seen as the likely next fight for Davis, whose last bout was a majority draw with Lamont Roach Jr. in March. That contest was marred by an apparent refereeing error that absolved Davis of a knockdown despite the Baltimore native taking a knee after being hit. Observers largely expected the undefeated Davis — who as recently as February was listed on Ring Magazine’s top 10 pound-for-pound list — to line up a rematch for his next fight.
Instead, both fighters will be hoping for the kind of audience Paul’s bout with Tyson drew. Along with a clear age difference between Davis and the 58-year-old ‘Iron Mike,’ there’s one other crucial factor: Paul has fought in higher weight classes, while Davis has spent his career as a super featherweight or lightweight fighter.
