Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis: Venue Change for the Main Event
The expected showdown between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, scheduled for November 14, has undergone a location change. Initially planned to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, it will now take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. This exciting duel, which will be broadcast live on Netflix, promises to capture the attention of millions of viewers.This venue change comes after the decision by Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, to withdraw its application for permits and necessary exemptions to hold the event in Georgia. Rick Thompson, chairman of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission (GAEC), stated that the promoter was “promoting something that they shouldn’t have promoted.” The press conferences scheduled for September 17 in New York and September 18 in Atlanta have been rescheduled. The new date for the conference in New York is September 22, while the one in Miami will be September 23.New city, same mission, seek and destroy the ‘Tank’. Kaseya Center. Friday, November 14th. I’m going to bring the heat, and Miami will see me defeat this angry elf while the world watches live on Netflix.

One of the main points of discussion surrounding the fight has been the weight limit. Jake Paul recently competed at cruiserweight and weighed 199.4 pounds in his June fight with Julio César Chávez Jr. For his part, Davis weighed 133.8 pounds in March, when he faced Lamont Roach Jr. Bidarian announced that the details about the weight will be revealed next week. “From the beginning, we were clear with GAEC about the agreement between the fighters, which is what the match will be. We will share the details next week at our press conference in New York,” Bidarian said.Unfortunately, we made the decision to withdraw the event from Georgia after several interviews conducted by Commissioner Rick Thompson, who appears to have a personal agenda, publicly misrepresenting the facts and undermining what was to be a massive event for Atlanta, with multiple world championship fights and the launch of efforts to revitalize world-class boxing in Georgia. Tickets were never put on sale, and every step of this process was coordinated in close communication with the Executive Director of the Commission. This event would have brought significant value to the city, the state, and the sport.
