ake Paul will battle one of boxing’s biggest stars — Gervonta "Tank" Davis — in a fight that will take place on Friday, November 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and stream live globally on Netflix.
The contracted weight for the bout has yet to be confirmed. "We’re still figuring that out," said Nakisa Bidarian, the co-founder of Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, which will promote the bout.
No matter the weight agreement, the event will undoubtedly get billed as a big man (Paul) vs. a little man (Davis). Paul, who’s 6-foot-1, weighed in at 199.4 pounds for his most recent fight, a decision win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June. Davis, the WBC lightweight champion, stands 5-foot-5 and came in at 133.8 pounds when he drew with Lamont Roach Jr. in March.
"Jake will definitely have to come down below his 200-pound weight that he’s been fighting at. I can tell you that we’re going to have a fight that will have a definitive outcome, whether by way of knockout or decision," Bidarian said.
