Sources indicate that Jake Paul’s representatives are considering alternative contenders to substitute Gervonta Davis.
Currently, the scheduled match between Jake Paul and seasoned boxing champion Gervonta Davis is slated for November 14th at Miami’s Kaseya Center. This bout represents the most formidable challenge of Paul’s boxing journey, following prior triumphs against heavyweight boxing icon Mike Tyson and former champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
In the weeks leading up to the fight, anticipation has built around the Paul vs. Davis matchup. However, recent legal complications involving Davis are reportedly posing a significant threat to the highly anticipated event.
On October 27th, Davis is alleged to have physically assaulted his former partner, making threats of violence. A civil lawsuit was initiated on Friday after the alleged victim chose to seek financial compensation rather than pursue criminal charges against Davis.

According to Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated, Paul and his associates are examining possible stand-in fighters for the November 14th event, given the potential civil trial involving Davis. At present, no individuals have been mentioned as possible opponents for Paul.
Davis’s last fight was a stalemate against Lamont Roach Jr. in March. A second encounter was widely anticipated for later in the year before Davis elected to engage Paul rather than rematch Roach.
Prior to the tie, Davis had won all 30 of his preceding professional fights, including wins over Ryan Garcia and Rolando Romero.
Davis was detained in July following a separate incident involving a former girlfriend in Miami Beach. Davis was arrested on a charge of battery, which was later dismissed after the alleged victim chose not to press charges.
As of now, the Paul vs. Davis fight is still scheduled for November 14th, but the situation remains uncertain in the days ahead. This is an evolving story, and we will provide updates as they become available.
