It has been officially confirmed that WBA Lightweight champion Gervonta Davis will face Heavyweight boxer and influencer Jake Paul.
“Size versus speed. Power versus precision.
One will rise, and the other will fall,” stated Jake’s promotional company in their announcement.
The fight is scheduled for November 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, USA, and will be broadcast on Netflix.
