Gervonta “Tank” Davis is making a stunning leap, moving up a staggering 60 pounds to challenge Jake Paul on November 14.

The highly anticipated showdown will be contested at a 195-pound catchweight, a detail confirmed Monday by Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian during the official Netflix fight launch press conference.

Having won a world title at 130 pounds, Davis, the current WBA lightweight champion at 135 pounds, has already established an amazing resume. He has, however, hardly ever left his division. Actually, the only occasion Davis fought heavier than the lightweight limit was in June 2021, when he reached 140 pounds and decisively won Mario Barrios' WBA (regular) title.

Jake Paul has since experimented with the extremes of the weight range after dropping to a career-low 183.75 pounds for his only professional loss to Tommy Fury in February 2023. In preparation for his November bout against Mike Tyson, he bulked up to heavyweight later that year, weighing in at a solid 227.25 pounds, nearly 100 pounds more than Gervonta Davis' natural fighting weight. The most recent example of Paul's career fluctuations was when he weighed 199.4 pounds for his fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June.

Ten three-minute rounds are planned for their November bout, according to Nakisa Bidarian. Paul has never been put to the test in a fight that lasts more than thirty minutes, but Davis is accustomed to the championship standard of twelve rounds. For instance, his bout with Tyson lasted eight two-minute rounds, which is a completely different pace than a real professional bout.

Both guys will put on 12-ounce gloves on the night of the fight. Since fighters weighing 147 pounds or less often compete in eight-ounce gloves, this is new ground for Davis. With the exception of the Tyson fight, when heavier 14-ounce gloves were utilized, Paul has often fought with 10-ounce gloves throughout his career.

Both guys will put on 12-ounce gloves, which tip heavier than Davis's typical size, on fight night. Eight-ounce gloves, built for speed and harder impact, are typically used by fighters weighing 147 pounds or less, like Davis throughout his career. With the exception of his fight with Mike Tyson, in which the competitors used heavier 14-ounce gloves, Paul, on the other hand, has always worn 10-ounce gloves in his fights.

Despite being formally referred to be an exhibition, the Paul vs. Davis matchup will not end as a pointless spectacle. In order to ensure that a winner is announced in the event that the fight goes the full distance, three commission-approved judges will sit ringside and score the action. Although neither man's professional record will be changed, it guarantees that bragging rights—and possibly credibility—are at stake.

The place itself has a narrative. The game was originally scheduled for Atlanta, Georgia, but the state's Athletic and Entertainment Commission objected, forcing a last-minute change. The commission's chairman, Rick Thompson, went so far as to publicly condemn the matchup, stating unequivocally that he would not support its sanctioning. The extravaganza will now take place at Miami's Kaseya Center, which is already used to hosting well-known bouts. "the dumbest s*** I’ve ever heard. ... It’s a money-grabber, and I’m not OK with that.’’
