The announcement that Jake Paul 's next opponent will be WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis on Friday, Nov. 14, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta (streamed live on Netflix) came out of nowhere,

Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Jake Paul have been circling each other for some time now, with talks of a potential fight between them having been in the works at several points in the past. In fact, there were reports that if Gervonta had beaten Lamont Roach Jr.

Jake Paul was supposed to fight Anthony Joshua while Gervonta Davis was expected to rematch Lamont Roach. But hey, this is boxing, so Paul will fight Davis instead, despite the fact that he outweighs “Tank” by nearly 66 pounds.
