On Monday, Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix announced that the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis exhibition bout, originally scheduled for Friday, November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, will no longer move forward.
Davis was recently hit with a civil suit by ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, who accused the WBA 135-pound champion of domestic violence, which led to him being removed from the bout.
“Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly,” said Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions in a press release. “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 30-year-old Davis, a key figure in the sport of boxing, was set to earn a substantial amount from this exhibition. However, with the event’s cancellation, his future moves become a topic of interest. Given his prominence, Davis is likely to have a range of options to consider.
