JAKE PAUL was set to meet lightweight world champion Gervonta Davis in an exhibition bout on November 14.
However, just 11 days before the fight was due to take place, Most Valuable Promotions announced that the event has been cancelled.
Why has Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis been cancelled?
The decision to cancel the Miami bout comes days after Davis was accused of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel.
MVP issued the following statement announcing the fight was off: “Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly.
“While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025.
“Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent, and additional bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalized.
“We thank Netflix, the Kaseya Center, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for their partnership.”
The fresh allegations come just two months after a domestic violence case against Davis was dropped by a different ex-girlfriend.
He was also previously arrested on battery domestic violence charges in February 2020 and December 2022.
The promotion said, fans who purchased tickets to Paul vs Davis via Ticketmaster will get an automatic refund through their original point of purchase within 14-21 days.
Who will Jake Paul fight next?
Following the cancellation of the Davis bout, multiple big names have reportedly been explored for Paul to fight before the end of the year.
Andre Ward, Francis Ngannou, Nate Diaz, Ryan Garcia and Terence Crawford have all been touted as potential opponents for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
MVP are reportedly looking to have Paul’s next fight on either Friday, December 12 or Friday, December 19.
