Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis will have an official winner in their upcoming exhibition fight. Paul, known for competing in the heavyweight division, is set to face the lightweight world champion Davis in Miami on November 14, despite being significantly heavier than his opponent. The fight location was changed from Georgia due to concerns raised by the commission about the size gap between the two fighters.
Nakisa Bidarian, Paul’s business partner, confirmed that a winner will be determined as both fighters have agreed to a maximum weight limit of 195lbs for the exhibition. The bout will consist of 10 rounds, each lasting three minutes, with both Paul and Davis wearing 12oz gloves. Three professional judges approved by the commission will be present at ringside to score each round, ensuring a decisive outcome if the fight goes the distance. Additionally, both fighters are subject to rigorous testing by USADA.
When questioned about his advantages in the fight, Paul emphasized his reach, size, and defensive strategy. He acknowledged Davis as a talented fighter but expressed confidence in his ability to exploit weaknesses in Davis’ defense. Paul sees this fight as an opportunity to showcase his skills and believes it will mark the beginning of a new chapter in his career.
Davis, on the other hand, opted to face Paul instead of granting a rematch to Lamont Roach, citing personal reasons and a focus on his own well-being. He anticipates a thrilling event and emphasizes that the fight is not just about him and Paul but about delivering excitement to the boxing community through a stacked card of matches.
The highly-anticipated showdown between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis promises to be a spectacle, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome on November 14.
