Gervonta “Tank” Davis Linked to November Exhibition Bout with Jake Paul

Atlanta, GA – On Wednesday, a post from Netflix Türkiye teased a big boxing match. Lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis will face social-media star Jake Paul. The event is set for November 15 at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. The Instagram-style promo image showed Netflix Türkiye’s verified gold checkmark and affiliate branding. It was taken down fast, raising questions about how advanced the negotiations for the matchup are.

Veteran boxing journalist Mike Coppinger says Paul will fight Davis in an exhibition match on the scheduled date. This will be Paul’s return to the ring after the talks with Anthony Joshua broke down. Paul last fought at cruiserweight. Davis, the current WBA lightweight champion, is still a big draw at 135 pounds.

Insiders say the leak about Netflix Türkiye is real promotional material. This comes despite the swift removal of the post and no comments from Netflix’s global team or Most Valuable Promotions, Paul’s company. Netflix has a growing history in boxing. It has streamed Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson and Katie Taylor’s trilogy against Amanda Serrano.

The proposed fight aims to attract both mainstream and boxing fans. It will use Paul’s huge online following and Davis’s reputation as a top champion. If confirmed, the November 15 date would make this event one of the biggest of 2025. Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, known for many high-profile boxing matches, will host it.

Neither fighter has issued an on-record response as of press time. Netflix, Most Valuable Promotions, and Davis’s camp have not commented. Paul hasn’t addressed the leak on his social channels yet. Observers expect a formal announcement soon. This should happen once contracts are finalized and promotion picks up.
