Background

As early as 2021, notorious YouTuber Jake Paul had began taking his professional boxing career more seriously, and began publicly calling out peoples such as Tyron Woodley, Conor McGregor, Canelo Álvarez, KSI, and Gervonta Davis. [3] In early 2025, negotiations for a Canelo vs Paul bout on Cinco de Mayo were near finalization, with a formal announcement expected soon. However, Canelo signed a four-fight deal with Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Season, which killed the bout. [4]

Following the Canelo fallout, discussions began speculating around a potential exhibition match with Davis. On March 1, Davis and Lamont Roach Jr.'s bout ended via majority draw, which caused speculation that the bout between Paul and Davis would not take place following the agreed rematch. Davis alluded to the fact that he and Paul were set to announce their bout that night.

On August 20, the Turkish Netflix X account accidentally leaked that Paul vs Davis was set to take place on November 15, 2025. [5] Later that day, a formal announcement for the bout was made official. [6]
