Influencer boxer Jake Paul is reportedly stepping into the ring with his most dangerous opponent yet — undefeated knockout king Gervonta Davis — in a high-stakes exhibition fight set for November 15.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that the bout will be heavily regulated, possibly with modified rules to preserve both fighters’ safety. Still, it represents a bold move by Paul, whose recent fights have drawn mixed reviews from fans and critics.
Paul’s last outing — a decision win over an MMA veteran — didn’t generate the same buzz as his earlier appearances. A matchup against Davis, however, reignites public interest, if only to see how Paul handles real elite boxing speed and power.
Davis, currently undefeated in 30 pro fights, has not publicly commented on the matchup but has previously expressed disinterest in “clown fights.” Whether this is a shift in attitude or a one-off money play remains to be seen.
