Jake Paul and Gervonta Tank Davis face off in Miami press conference ahead of Netflix’s exclusive November 14 global boxing event.
The countdown is on for one of the year’s most talked-about boxing showdowns. On September 23, Jake “El Gallo de Dorado” Paul and undefeated champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis met face to face at Miami’s Kaseya Center, officially kicking off the road to their November 14 fight. The highly anticipated matchup will stream live worldwide on Netflix, available at no extra cost to the platform’s more than 300 million members.
The clash—set for Miami under the bright lights of the Kaseya Center—pits Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) against Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) in what’s being billed as one of the riskiest bouts of either fighter’s career.
A Co-Main Event Spotlighting Women’s Boxing
In the co-main event, undisputed super featherweight world champion Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner (16-1, 7 KOs) will defend her WBA, WBO, and IBF titles against Canadian contender Leila Beaudoin (13-1, 2 KOs). The fight will be contested over 12 three-minute rounds, marking a historic step toward equality in women’s boxing.
Jake Paul’s Take
Paul called Davis the toughest opponent he has faced, admitting the fight demands his most focused preparation yet. “He’s gonna bring the best out of me,” Paul said. “This is the most risky fight that Gervonta could take in boxing… respect to him, it’s gonna be a show.”
The social media star turned boxer also doubled down on his confidence, pointing to his team and steady improvements in the sport. “My skillset continues to improve and I’m a lot better boxer than these people who have been doing it their whole lives,” he said.
Paul and Davis even raised the stakes with a $2 million bet—sealed by a handshake—on who will emerge victorious.
Tank Davis’ Response
Davis, known for his knockout power and experience, kept his comments measured but firm. “We just gotta wait and see come November the 14th,” he said. While acknowledging Paul’s size advantage, Davis emphasized that his experience will be key. “We just gotta be smart when we get in there. That’s when my experience is gonna play a big factor.”
Spotlight on Baumgardner and Beaudoin
Baumgardner spoke passionately about what her fight represents. “Come November 14th, you will see what women have always been able to do—and that’s fight, that’s show up and do a job,” she said. Confident in her power and new three-minute round format, she promised an action-packed performance.
Beaudoin, meanwhile, welcomed the opportunity to prove critics wrong. “They’re gonna see why we deserve to do three-minute rounds and why we belong here,” she said.
Predictions All Around
While Paul picked Baumgardner to have a breakout moment, Davis kept his prediction short and aligned with her as well. Baumgardner herself forecasted a knockout in Paul vs. Davis, while Beaudoin noted Jake’s size advantage but leaned toward Tank’s boxing IQ.
With the press conference in Miami officially setting the tone, the November 14 card promises non-stop action—from the star-studded main event to a groundbreaking women’s championship clash.
