Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis is headed even further south.
Initially announced for Atlanta, the boxing bout now takes place Nov. 15 at Kaseya Center in Miami. The bout will stream on Netflix.
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) announced the change Wednesday after it withdrew its promoter license request from the upcoming monthly meeting for the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission (GAEC).
GEAC chairman Rick Thompson told USA TODAY the withdrawal was due to MVP “promoting something they should not have been.”
Paul and Davis vary vastly in experience level and weight class. “Tank” Davis has a 30-0-1 pro boxing record and is the WBA lightweight champion. Paul is 12-1, having mostly competed against boxing journeyman and semi-retired MMA fighters.
Additionally, Paul has recently competed at cruiserweight (200 pounds), which is 65 pounds more than lightweight (135 pounds), the division in which Davis holds gold. Paul is also eight inches taller than Davis.
