Jake vs. Tank is the culmination of four years of callouts and a brewing rivalry between Paul, the sport’s most-watched fighter whose showmanship has redefined boxing promotion, and Davis, one of the most feared punchers in the world and widely regarded as the Mike Tyson of his generation. Paul and Davis, the favorite boxers of Gen Alpha and Gen Z, respectively, have both battled to claim the title of modern boxing’s biggest star, setting the stage for this monumental showdown. Paul enters the bout almost exactly one year after headlining the largest boxing or MMA event in over four decades, while Davis holds the record for the highest pay-per-view buys and revenue event of the past four years.

The American pride of Puerto Rico, Jake “El Gallo de Dorado” Paul has shown tremendous growth as a boxer on his path to becoming a world champion, and now will look to prove he has what it takes against world champion and one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers in the world, Gervonta “Tank” Davis. In just five years since turning pro, Paul has made his impact in the ring, earning high-profile victories over names like Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz. His viral knockouts and headline-grabbing performances have breathed new life into boxing, drawing millions of fans and setting records. In November 2024, Jake Paul defeated the Baddest Man on the Planet, Mike Tyson in a heavyweight bout in the first-ever live professional sporting event on Netflix. Paul vs. Tyson shattered records, becoming the most-streamed sporting event ever with 108 million live viewers globally. Paul most recently returned to the ring in June 2025 to face former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., earning a unanimous decision victory and entering the WBA cruiserweight rankings at #14 with the win. Paul has collected multiple accolades for his commitment to the sport of boxing, including ESPNRingside’s 2021 Knockout of the Year, Sports Illustrated’s 2021 Breakout Boxer of the Year, ESPNRingside’s 2022 Viral Moment of the Year, and was the cover of Sports Illustrated’s “The 50 Most Influential Figures in Sports” issue, awarded specifically for his groundbreaking work to revolutionize the sport through equitable pay, providing a platform for young fighters, and his support of female boxers. Paul also partnered with USA Boxing ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, continuing his mission to elevate the sport and its future champions.
“Gervonta is an angry little elf who has been disrespecting my name for too long,” said Jake Paul. “His nickname might be Tank, but I’m an FPV drone and I’m about to disable his ass. Yes, he is one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath, and you are all going watch me do it, breaking viewership records again. Atlanta. Friday, Nov 14th. The worst night of Gervonta's career, live only on Netflix.”
WBA lightweight world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis has risen from the tough streets of West Baltimore to become one of boxing’s biggest stars and most feared punchers in boxing. Introduced to the sport at age seven by childhood friend Quaadir Gurley, Davis found guidance under longtime coach Calvin Ford, who helped him compile a decorated amateur career before turning professional at 18. Overcoming personal tragedy and the loss of close friends, Davis quickly made his mark with a string of knockouts, capturing his first world title in 2017 by defeating Jose Pedraza and becoming the youngest reigning champion in the sport. He went on to claim titles in three weight classes, headlining sold-out arenas from New York to Los Angeles, Atlanta to Washington D.C., all while cementing himself as one of the sport’s premier pay-per-view attractions. Inside the ring, Davis has built a reputation for dramatic finishes against elite opponents, from his 2020 Knockout of the Year over Leo Santa Cruz to a dominant stoppage of Ryan Garcia in 2023 that solidified his claim as “the face of boxing.” In his latest defense Davis retained the WBA lightweight title via a controversial majority draw against Lamont Roach Jr. Along the way, he has broken live gate and attendance records in multiple cities, delivered viral knockouts that drew millions of views, and continued to showcase the explosive power and precision that make him a must-watch fighter. Whether fighting in front of hometown fans in Baltimore, under the bright lights of Las Vegas, or on global pay-per-view stages, Tank continues to carry Baltimore’s legacy into every bout, driven by the belief that his success can inspire others to rise above the challenges he once faced.
“Jake Paul and Tank Davis have redefined the professional combat sports landscape as the top fighters among Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions. “Now they will collide to determine the true face of boxing’s next generation. When Jake called out Tank in August of 2021, everyone laughed and said he would get killed. Since then, Tank has called Jake a clown and easy work. Well 4 years later, here we are. No more call outs and no more name calling. Jake the disrupter vs the Tank destroyer, for the face of boxing crown, live from the heart of the south, Atlanta. Thank you to our distribution partner, Netflix, for their continued trust in MVP and bringing Jake vs. Tank to over 300 million Netflix subscribers at no extra cost. We also look forward to offering a range of ticketing options for every fan in attendance, including the return of our first-of-its-kind MVP Owner’s Experience and other VIP packages.”
"This isn't just a fight, it's a spectacle that brings together two of the most electrifying figures in boxing today," said Netflix’s Brandon Riegg, VP, Nonfiction Series and Sports. "We’re building on our momentum with live sports and giving our members exactly what they want: a massive, can't-miss event with global appeal.”
