Revealed Card for the Paul vs. Davis Exhibition

The anticipated fight card for the exhibition match between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, scheduled for November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, has been announced by Most Valuable Promotions. The event will be streamed globally live via Netflix.Alycia Baumgardner (16-1, 7 KOs) will defend her WBA, WBO, and IBF super-lightweight titles against Leila Beudoin (13-1, 2 KOs) in the co-main event. This bout will be governed by the rules of men’s championship fights, with 12 three-minute rounds.

Consistency is what keeps me sharp and makes me dangerous. Fighting 12×3:00 represents equality. Equality in boxing means giving champions a platform to showcase their greatness. I am here to show the world that I am made for anything. AND STILL!

Baumgardner recently relinquished her WBC title due to WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman’s opposition to three-minute rounds for women’s boxing. A similar situation occurred with Amanda Serrano, who vacated her WBC featherweight title in protest of the sanctioning body’s refusal to approve her request for a 12-round, three-minute title defense.

Like Amanda Serrano and many other great champions before me, I believe women should have the option to compete under the same rules as men, 12 rounds, three minutes per round. I have chosen to move forward in my career under those terms. My next championship fight will be held under those rules, and since the WBC currently does not allow women to fight under those terms, I have made the difficult decision to vacate my WBC title.

The fight card also features the WBA super lightweight title defense by Gary Antuanne Russell (18-1, 17 KOs) against mandatory challenger Andy Hiraoka (24-0, 19 KOs). Russell will make his first title defense after defeating Jose Valenzuela in March. Hiraoka, from Japan, fought his last fight in September 2024, where he stopped Ismael Barroso in the ninth round. Gary Russell is a great champion, but I come to Miami to win his belt and become the next world champion from Japan.

Preliminary Fights

The preliminary card will be headlined by unified women’s super-flyweight champion Ellie Scotney (11-0), who will face WBA champion Mayelli Flores (13-1-1, 4 KOs), to determine the undisputed champion of the division. Scotney, 27, will be the youngest British boxer, male or female, to fight for an undisputed world title.

Belt by belt, I’ve earned it the hard way. Being undisputed has always been the goal, and now, thanks to MVP, we are in the final and most important step. On November 14th, I will make history as the next undisputed world champion from Great Britain.

In addition, on the preliminary card, WBC women’s strawweight champion Yokasta Valle (33-3, 10 KOs) will put her title on the line against Yadira Bustillos (11-1, 2 KOs) in a 10-round bout. Avious Griffin (17-1, 16 KOs) will look to bounce back from his first professional loss when he faces Cesar Francis (14-2, 9 KOs) in an 8-round welterweight battle. The Paul vs. Davis fight will be a 10-round exhibition of three minutes, contested at an agreed weight of 195 pounds. The boxers will use 12-ounce gloves. Although the result will not affect their professional boxing records, three judges at ringside will determine a winner if the fight goes the distance.
