Those claiming, “it was supposed to be an exhibition,” are right for this upcoming match.
Per MMA Fighting on Friday, the Florida Athletic Commission has released the details regarding the headlining boxing affair between Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) and Gervonta Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs). Due in part to the size difference—Davis weighed 135 pounds in a recent encounter, while Paul approaches or exceeds 200 pounds in his bouts—the tilt will be considered an exhibition. Knockouts will still end the fight, but the result will not be a part of either fighter’s permanent record.
