Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis – What Could Have Happened and Who Next?

Following on from the recent legal issues involving Gervonta “Tank” Davis, the WBA lightweight world champion is out of his fight with YouTuber, Jake “The Problem Child” Paul. As of now, there is no replacement in the pipeline, which also means the planned date of November 14th for Paul’s latest showdown is no longer, with reports suggesting a bout in December or early 2026.

The bout between Davis and Paul was no doubt set to be an intriguing one. It was without question going to be the YouTuber’s biggest matchup in terms of viewing figures, given the popularity of his opponent and how he is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet.
