(Reuters) -Jake Paul will fight the unbeaten Gervonta Davis on November 14 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia in a bout that will be streamed live on Netflix, promoters said on Wednesday.

Davis has been the WBA lightweight champion since Devin Haney vacated the belt in 2023, but the American's title will not be on the line against YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul due to the size difference between the two boxers.
