It’s going down in the A, on Friday, November 14, at the award-winning State Farm Arena, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and Netflix dropped a bombshell—boxing’s biggest disruptor, Jake “El Gallo de Dorado” Paul (12-1, 7 KOs), is set to face undefeated three-division champion and reigning WBA world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) in a blockbuster global event. The fight will stream live worldwide exclusively on Netflix—at no additional cost to its 300+ million members.
For Paul, ranked #14 at cruiserweight by the WBA, this marks another high-profile moment coming almost exactly a year after his record-breaking Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson spectacle in November 2024, which drew an unprecedented 108 million live viewers. Now, he returns to Netflix in what will be MVP’s third live boxing showcase on the platform in just 12 months, following July’s Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3—the service’s first all-women’s professional sporting event.
Jake vs. Tank, however, feels different. This isn’t just another fight card—it’s the culmination of four years of callouts, insults, and a brewing rivalry between two of the most polarizing figures in combat sports. Paul has built his empire on disruption and spectacle, while Davis—often hailed as the modern-day Mike Tyson—has become one of the sport’s most feared knockout artists. Together, they’ve battled for the spotlight as the favorites of Gen Alpha and Gen Z, and now they’ll finally settle who truly sits atop boxing’s new era.
Paul, the self-proclaimed “American pride of Puerto Rico,” has risen from viral sensation to legitimate contender in just five years, stacking wins over Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and most recently Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Along the way, he’s transformed into a cultural force—named Sports Illustrated’s Breakout Boxer of the Year in 2021 and one of its 50 Most Influential Figures in Sports, all while pushing for equitable fighter pay and elevating women’s boxing.
And, in typical Paul fashion, he’s already talking big:
“Gervonta is an angry little elf who’s been disrespecting my name for too long,” Paul said. “His nickname might be Tank, but I’m an FPV drone and I’m about to disable his ass. First, I’m going to kill David, then I’ll go on to slaughter Goliath—and you’re all going to watch me do it live on Netflix.”
Davis, meanwhile, is no stranger to pressure. The Baltimore native turned pro at 18 and rose quickly with a string of devastating knockouts, claiming world titles across three divisions. From his highlight-reel KO of Leo Santa Cruz in 2020 to his pay-per-view smash over Ryan Garcia in 2023, Davis has proven why he’s one of boxing’s pound-for-pound greats. Even in his most recent outing—a controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr.—he reminded fans why his fights are must-see events.
MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian called it “the fight boxing fans said would never happen.”
“When Jake called out Tank in 2021, people laughed. Now, four years later, it’s real. Jake the disruptor vs. the Tank destroyer—for the face of boxing crown, live from Atlanta. Thanks to Netflix, this fight will reach over 300 million subscribers at no extra cost.”
Netflix executive Brandon Riegg added:
“This isn’t just a fight—it’s a spectacle. Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis are two of the most electrifying figures in sports today, and we’re thrilled to deliver this massive, can’t-miss event directly to our members worldwide.”
On November 14, Atlanta won’t just host a fight—it will host a global cultural moment. Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis promises to be one of the biggest events in modern boxing history.
Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster, with fans encouraged to register early at JakevsTank.com for pre-sale access. Premium seating and the return of MVP’s one-of-a-kind Owner’s Experience will also be on offer, ensuring this showdown is as much a spectacle inside the arena as it will be on screens around the globe.
