It’s official: Netflix’s next big live boxing match will feature Jake Paul taking on reigning WBA world champ Gervonta Davis in a showdown in Atlanta.

Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix announced the matchup Wednesday. Jake “El Gallo de Dorado” Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) will fight undefeated three-division champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) — billed as “the modern day Mike Tyson,” who has knocked out 28 of his 31 opponents to date.

The fight is set for Friday, Nov. 14, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, and will stream live globally, only on Netflix at no additional cost to subscribers. Additional information, including the co-main event and undercards, will be announced in the coming weeks.

Paul will return to Netflix following his record-breaking fight against Mike Tyson in November 2024. Jake vs. Tank marks MVP’s third live event on Netflix in 12 months, following Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3 in July 2025, the first all-women’s professional sporting event on the service.

Paul, in a statement provided by Netflix and MVP, said: “Gervonta is an angry little elf who has been disrespecting my name for too long. His nickname might be Tank, but I’m an FPV drone and I’m about to disable his ass. Yes, he is one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath, and you are all going watch me do it, breaking viewership records again. Atlanta. Friday, Nov 14th. The worst night of Gervonta’s career, live only on Netflix.”

MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said, “Jake Paul and Tank Davis have redefined the professional combat sports landscape as the top fighters among Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences. “Now they will collide to determine the true face of boxing’s next generation.”

“This isn’t just a fight, it’s a spectacle that brings together two of the most electrifying figures in boxing today,” said Netflix’s Brandon Riegg, VP of nonfiction series and sports. “We’re building on our momentum with live sports and giving our members exactly what they want: a massive, can’t-miss event with global appeal.”
