YouTube celebrity turned boxer Paul was scheduled to fight multi-divisional champion Davis in an exhibition boxing match on Nov. 14 at Kaseya Center in Miami. However, the Netflix partnered event was initially jeopardized after Davis’ ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel filed a civil lawsuit in Miami-Dade County, accusing the lightweight champion of aggravated battery, among other charges.

Fight promoters, Most Valuable Promotions, initially said they would comment only after further investigation. Rumors suggested that Terence Crawford , Ryan Garcia, Francis Ngannou and Nate Diaz were being considered as replacement options for “Tank” but MVP and Netflix have now called off the card entirely. However, plans are still on for Paul to headline a boxing event on Netflix in 2025. MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian said in a statement:
“Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly. While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025. Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent, and additional bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalized. We thank Netflix, the Kaseya Center, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for their partnership.”
