Get ready for a boxing spectacle that’s about to break the internet. Gervonta “Tank” Davis, the undefeated WBA lightweight champion, is set to face off against YouTube sensation turned boxer Jake Paul in a highly anticipated match this fall on Netflix.

The fight, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 14, will take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and is completely free for Netflix’s 300 million-plus subscribers. This unique event bridges the worlds of professional boxing and internet celebrity in a way we’ve never seen before.

Davis, a 30-year-old boxing prodigy with a stunning 30-0-1 record and 28 knockouts, will be squaring up against Paul, a 28-year-old internet personality who has quickly made waves in the boxing world. While Davis is the lightweight champion at 135 pounds, Paul is ranked as the WBA’s No. 14 cruiserweight at 200 pounds.

The significant weight difference has raised eyebrows in the boxing community, with many questioning whether this will be an official professional bout or an exhibition match. Netflix hasn’t clarified the fight’s official status, adding to the mounting anticipation.

Both fighters are coming into this match with recent notable performances. Davis recently fought to a controversial draw against Lamont Roach Jr. in March, while Paul secured a unanimous decision win over former world champion Julio César Chávez Jr. in June.

Social media has been buzzing with reactions, especially from Roach Jr., who posted a pointed tweet suggesting Davis is ducking a rematch. The fight has already generated massive online engagement.

Netflix’s vice president Brandon Riegg describes the event as “more than just a fight – it’s a spectacle that brings together two of the most electrifying figures in boxing today”.

Whether you’re a boxing purist or a fan of internet personalities, this cross-cultural boxing event promises to be a must-watch moment that blurs the lines between sports and entertainment.
