Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis Fight Canceled, Paul To Headline Netflix Event This Year

It’s official: Jake Paul will not fight Gervonta Davis later this month on Netflix. As reported earlier, plans for a fight between the two were thrown into chaos after Davis was accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel on October 27th. Rossel then filed a lawsuit accusing Davis of multiple incidents and alleged alleged battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix announced via press release that the fight, which was scheduled for November 14th, will no longer take place. The statement quoted MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian as saying:

“Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly. While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025. Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent, and additional bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalized. We thank Netflix, the Kaseya Center, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for their partnership.”

Fans who bought tickets for the show will get an automatic refund through their original point of purchase within 14 to 21 days. Those who bought tickets through secondary markets should contact those markets.
