In early 2025, negotiations for a Canelo Álvarez vs Jake Paul professional boxing match on Cinco de Mayo to be streamed on Netflix were near finalization, with a formal announcement expected soon. However, Canelo instead signed a four-fight deal with Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Season, which lead to Paul having to find another opponent for a bout on Netflix. ^[3]

Following the Canelo fallout, discussions began speculating around a potential exhibition match with Paul and Gervonta 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/Twitter account accidentally leaked that Paul vs Davis was set to take place on November 15, 2025. ^[4] Later that day, an official announcement was made, confirming the bout, but the date was actually November 14, because of it taking place in the United States. ^[5]

On September 17, the event was moved from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia to the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida after both Paul and Davis withdrew their request for event permits in Atlanta. ^[6] Rick Thompson, chariman of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission stated that the bout "is the dumbest (expletive) I've ever heard," and "it's a money grabber, and I'm not OK with that." ^[7]
