Report: Paul-Davis in jeopardy, Nov. 14 event could be postponed
Jake Paul vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis is in limbo.
Most Valuable Promotions is looking into the possibility of postponing its Nov. 14 event at Kaseya Center in Miami - currently headlined by an exhibition bout between Paul and Davis - to December, sources told The Ring's Mike Coppinger.
Dec. 12 and 19 are two dates being considered if the event is indeed rescheduled.
The development comes days after a civil lawsuit was filed against Davis, the WBA lightweight champion, in Miami-Dade County over an alleged domestic incident. Ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel accused Davis of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress after an incident at a nightclub.
Most Valuable Promotions said in a statement earlier Saturday that it was investigating the allegations against Davis.
"Most Valuable Promotions immediately initiated an investigation upon learning of the civil lawsuit filed against Gervonta Davis in Miami-Dade County on Oct. 30th, 2025," the statement read.
"At this time, we are gathering information and reviewing the details to ensure any decision we make is thoroughly vetted. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence and are committed to handling this matter with diligence and respect for all involved.
"We will make a determination on next steps once we have completed our review and consulted with the appropriate parties. Until then, we will not be commenting further."
Representatives for Paul have begun seeking potential replacement opponents for December, sources told Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix. They reportedly made an offer to Ryan Garcia and have also discussed matchups against Anthony Joshua and undisputed super middleweight champion Terence Crawford.
Davis, 30, is one of the biggest stars in boxing, though his career has been plagued by legal troubles. He has faced other charges related to domestic violence and fleeing the scene of a car accident in the past. Davis was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest and three years of probation after a hit-and-run in 2023.
Undefeated in the ring, Davis is coming off a majority draw against Lamont Roach Jr. in March. He holds a 30-0-1 professional record with 28 knockout wins.
Paul, a YouTube star turned prizefighter, earned a decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in his most recent outing in June. Paul is 12-1 as a pro, though the exhibition match against Davis wouldn't have counted toward his record.
The co-main event of the Nov. 14 card is a trilogy bout between former UFC champions Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman.
