The highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis, originally scheduled for November 14, 2025, in Miami, has been officially cancelled.
The decision follows news that Davis has become the subject of a civil lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, alleging battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and emotional distress.
Background on the Event
The fight was set to take place at the Kaseya Center and stream globally on Netflix, generating major buzz due to the crossover appeal of Jake Paul, a YouTube star turned professional boxer, and Gervonta Davis, a reigning lightweight champion with an undefeated record.
The bout had been one of the most anticipated events on the 2025 boxing calendar, attracting attention from both traditional boxing fans and mainstream audiences.
Official Statements and Reactions
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) — the company behind the fight — confirmed the cancellation, stating that they are working to arrange a new event for Jake Paul later in 2025.
The promoter emphasized that details regarding a new opponent, venue, and date will be announced once finalized.
Jake Paul responded publicly to the news, criticizing Davis and calling the situation “unacceptable.”
Fans who purchased tickets have been assured that full refunds will be issued.
What’s Next
The cancellation underscores how off-ring legal issues can have significant consequences for high-profile boxing events.
MVP and Jake Paul’s team are actively exploring alternative matchups to keep audiences engaged and maintain momentum heading into the end of the year.
As of now, no replacement opponent or official date has been confirmed, but Paul’s camp has indicated that a new fight will be scheduled before the end of 2025.
