Paul-Davis Fight Jeopardized by Civil Suit

Jake Paul is scheduled to face Gervonta “Tank” Davis in an unsanctioned exhibition on Nov. 14 in Miami that was set to stream on Netflix and to allow knockouts with an AI judge alongside two human officials. Two weeks before the bout Davis was named in a Miami‑Dade civil lawsuit by ex‑girlfriend Courtney Rossel accusing him of battery, kidnapping and related domestic‑violence acts, including alleged choking, prior assaults and threats. Those allegations, together with Davis’ prior arrests and earlier dropped cases, have put the high‑profile card in serious jeopardy, prompting Netflix and Paul’s team to explore replacement opponents while promoters assess the situation. For now the fight remains on the schedule but could be scrapped or altered depending on legal developments and whether Davis must attend civil proceedings. Paul continues to promote the bout as proof of his boxing legitimacy and says he remains deep into camp, focusing on speed, ring IQ and a different game plan to answer critics. Separately, speculation has surfaced about a potential larger matchup with Anthony Joshua, but those talks remain unconfirmed and speculative.
