Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis is no longer happening. Most Valuable Promotions just announced the cancellation of the highly anticipated boxing match scheduled for November 15. This decision comes in the wake of allegations against Gervonta Davis for assaulting a woman at a strip club.
MVP, which initiated an investigation into the claims made against Davis in a lawsuit filed in Florida, released a statement on Monday stating that they “worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly.”
MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian mentioned that the plan is for Jake Paul to still step into the ring for Netflix before the end of 2025, but the opponent will no longer be Gervonta Davis.
With the fight just around the corner, Paul’s team was reportedly scrambling to find a replacement for Davis. Francis Ngannou revealed to TMZ Sports that he received a call during the search but had no interest in participating.
The matchup was initially announced in August and gained significant attention due to Paul’s considerable size advantage over Davis. Paul stands at 6’1″ and weighs just under 200 pounds, while Davis is 5’5″ and 135 pounds.
Earlier reports detailed allegations from a woman named Courtney Rossel, who accused Davis of assaulting and threatening her multiple times during their five-month relationship. The incidents allegedly took place at Tootsies in Miami, where Davis reportedly approached Rossel and engaged in physical altercations.
A police report was filed following the alleged incident, prompting MVP to launch their own investigation into the matter. The organization stated, “At this time, we are gathering information and reviewing the details to ensure any decision we make is thoroughly vetted.”
