Hold on to your seats, fight fans! Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, has found his next big challenge. Forget Anthony Joshua – Paul will face off against the undefeated WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an electrifying exhibition bout on November 15 at Atlanta's State Farm Arena. After the dust settled on his June win over ex-world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., fans were on the edge of their seats waiting to see who Jake Paul would challenge next. Many hoped for a mega-fight with former heavyweight king Anthony Joshua, but alas, those talks "collapsed over network issues," shares boxing reporter Mike Coppinger. Joshua is tied to DAZN, while Paul’s contract is with Netflix, creating a clash too big to solve for now. So, it's Davis stepping into the ring! The 30-year-old champion boasts a stellar 30-0-1 record, with only one career draw against Lamont Roach earlier this year. The 65-pound weight gap means this will be a catchweight fight, adding even more spice to the mix. Jake Paul, famous for beating legends like 58-year-old Mike Tyson and last year’s victory over Chavez Jr., hasn’t lost his hunger. This match promises to be his toughest test yet. Paul said he wants to battle top-tier boxers, and now he’s got quite the challenge in Davis. Mark your calendars for November 15! This thrilling exhibition fight will air live on Netflix, making it easy for fans to catch the action. The exact fight time is still under wraps, but excitement is already sky-high. Will Jake Paul continue his winning streak against "Tank" Davis? Or will the lightweight champ show Paul the ropes? Get ready for a battle full of punches, power, and surprises! The boxing world waits eagerly as two very different fighters prepare to collide in the ring.
