Initially, Paul had been in talks to take on Anthony Joshua, but contract talks have stalled. It is now being reported that Paul will instead face off against Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an exhibition match on November 15 in Atlanta. This fight report has been provided by Mike Coppinger of Ring Magazine.

Joshua has not fought since September 2024, when he suffered a savage beatdown at the hands of Daniel Dubois. Although it has already been a year since that fight, he has not shown any inclination to return to the ring. The 35-year-old Joshua is now just 4-3 in his last seven fights and 6-4 since 2019.

Although Jake Paul announced that his next fight will take place against Gervonta Davis, it isn’t stopping his plans of fighting Anthony Joshua. Jake Paul last stepped foot in the boxing ring this past June when he took on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in one of his toughest tests to date.
