The Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis Fight Could Be Transformed by the Power of Artificial Intelligence

The Florida State Athletic Commission has released detailed rules for the Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis bout that will take place on November 14 and be broadcast on Netflix.

The fight announcement took fans by surprise, mainly due to the significant size difference between the two opponents. Paul’s last fight was at cruiserweight, while Davis is the WBA lightweight champion. ‘The Problem Child’, 6’1″, also holds an 8 inch height advantage over ‘Tank’ Davis.

The fight was initially set for Atlanta, Georgia, however, was later shifted to Florida following the previous commission refusing to sanction it. The fight poster, meanwhile, is inspired by GTA VI. Paul’s marketing genius has once again been on display and more rules for the Davis bout have now come to light.Commission reveals Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis rules

Perhaps the most notable aspect of the fight is that Paul vs Davis will have two human judges and one AI judge for the bout.

The bout will consist of 10 rounds, each lasting three minutes. While it’s an exhibition, TKO and KO will still be in play. In a statement, the Florida State Athletic Commission revealed:

Anthony Joshua

The Florida Athletic Commission confirms that this event has been sanctioned as an exhibition. The match will be logged in the national registry as an exhibition, and it will not count toward either athlete’s professional record.”

The Commission added, “The exhibition will classify knockouts and technical knockouts as fight-ending in the same manner as professional contests. The Florida Athletic Commission remains committed to transparency, regulatory compliance, and the continued safe advancement of combative sports in Florida.”

AI judging is definitely something new and adds another unique talking point to the already hyped Paul vs Davis bout. ‘The Problem Child’ never fails to grab eyeballs, despite fans remaining skeptical of the merit of his opponents so far. ‘Tank’ Davis, meanwhile, is one of boxing’s most notable superstars and it’s always fireworks when he’s in action.

Terence Crawford

Paul knows how to hype a fight up and he has been doing so through relentless trash talk for the ‘Tank’ Davis showdown. Paul isn’t pulling any punches and the YouTuber turned pro-boxer told Netflix:

His nickname might be Tank, but I’m an FPV drone, and I’m about to disable his ass. Yes, he is one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds.

Eddie Hearn fuels the fire: “If anyone can beat him, it’s Boots”Challenger Plotting to Shock the World and Steal Terence Crawford’s Throne

Jaron “Boots” Ennis’ brutal knockout of Uisma Lima not only marked the beginning of a new era in the 154-pound division, it also sparked a debate that is shaking up the world of boxing: could he be the man who finally defeats Terence Crawford

Ennis demolishes Lima and ignites the debate

What was supposed to be a test turned into a massacre. In his super welterweight debut, Jaron “Boots” Ennis needed just one round to destroy Uisma Lima on October 11. Two knockdowns were enough for the referee to stop the fight and confirm what was already clear: the American is ready to dominate a new division.

The undefeated Philadelphia native, now 35-0 (31 KOs), proved that his power and precision didn’t stay at 147 pounds. Lima could barely resist the storm of punches, and the crowd at the Wells Fargo Center witnessed the birth of a genuine threat to Terence “Bud” Crawford’s reign.

The inevitable comparison: Crawford’s successor?

As soon as the fight ended, Crawford’s name began trending. Fans immediately made the connection: if anyone can dethrone the current pound-for-pound king, it might just be Jaron Ennis.

The context makes it even more intriguing. Crawford is fresh off a win against Canelo Álvarez, cementing himself as boxing’s undisputed number one. Still, many believe Ennis’ meteoric rise could signal the beginning of a generational shift in the sport.

Terence Crawford

Renowned promoter Eddie Hearn didn’t hesitate to point to Ennis as the only fighter capable of dethroning Crawford. In an interview with TMZ Sports, Hearn stated that the 28-year-old American has what it takes to become the next pound-for-pound king.

“He’s ten years younger than Crawford, he already dominated 147, and now he’s moving up to 154 looking for another title. He can even fight at 168. He’s an exceptional talent,” said Hearn.

The promoter also mentioned Ennis’ next possible opponents, including Virgil Ortiz Jr., Sebastian Fundora, and Bakhram Murtazaliev, but his real goal is clear: to face the undisputed champion.

“If you want a real challenge, get ready, because Boots is coming,” warned Hearn.

Terence Crawford

Crawford vs. Ennis?

While the dream of seeing Crawford and Ennis face off still seems distant, the demand from fans grows with every fight. The challenge isn’t about skill —it’s financial. Making the champion accept a fight of this magnitude would be the real battle.

Still, not everyone is convinced. Some fans have pointed out gaps in Ennis’ style, claiming that Crawford would “pick him apart easily.” For now, all signs point to Virgil Ortiz Jr. as his next opponent. But one thing is certain: after the demolition of Lima, Jaron Ennis’ name is now firmly part of the global boxing conversation.

A major decision looms for Anthony Joshua as he

By
Anthony Joshua

A major decision looms for Anthony Joshua as he weighs up his next opponent and the venue for his upcoming bout.

Anthony Joshua must decide soon whether or not to return to the ring and who to fight and where The fighter has not boxed since he lost to Daniel Dubois at Wembley over a year ago

According to Frank Smith, CEO of Matchroom, the next move in Anthony Joshua’s career will be decided soon. “I think with AJ, he’s had time out of the ring, the longest period he’s been out of the ring. I think he needed it. He hasn’t stopped for 12, 13 years since he turned pro.”

“For him, I think it’s been perfect just to have some time away to focus on himself while he comes back for what is probably the most important part of his career so far and the most important decision he’ll make,” Frank Smith.

There has been speculation about the heavyweight’s return, with several opportunities, including Jake Paul, Tyson Fury and a fight in Ghana, being discussed. A fight against Fury is thought to take place later in 2026.

“There has been a lot of talk about offers in Ghana. I have gone to Ghana to meet with those guys and about organizing a show there, I went to the stadium in Accra,” Smith added. “It would be sensational to do an event there, like an event that would never be forgotten. Obviously, there are the big fights against someone like Tyson Fury, which we all want to see.

Gervonta Davis

“And I think, look, I see that happening. I saw Frank Warren talk about it as well. Tyson Fury talking about a comeback, which is great. So I think that’s a fight we’ll see in 2026. What’s next? Let’s see. Let’s see how things go over the next week or two. I think if he’s going to come out this year, he’d have to make a decision very soon, if not early next year. But I’m sure we’ll see AJ back in the best shape of his life. He needs to be 100 percent when he gets back into this.”

The idea of staging fights in Accra, having seen it, appeals to Smith now more than ever, and if Matchroom promotes there, it might not just be for Joshua. “It’s one of those moments. Look, we’ve been lucky, and I’ve personally been lucky, to work on some incredible events over the last 16, 17 years, and moments that I’ll never forget

But walking through that stadium and also seeing an event they had done previously on a much smaller scale, thinking about 60,000 people in this stadium, in the atmosphere they would create, is one of those moments that you think would last forever, that memory. It’s not something that a year later you say: ‘do you remember?’ It would be something you would talk about for 10, 20, 30, 40 years. So it’s something I’m very interested in making happen. Obviously, it has to make sense, you know, overall. So we’ll see. But I’m very confident that very soon we’ll be doing events in Ghana with the Legacy team, whether it’s with AJ or someone else.

Smith believes AJ’s waters will become much clearer over the next week or 10 days. With Matchroom ready to reveal a batch of dates to close out the year, more pieces will be falling into place elsewhere. But Smith does not believe that the rematch between Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington is something that is on the agenda. Despite the two fighters still throwing darts at each other on social media, a return of their thrilling fight is not something immediate

Terence Crawford

There are a lot of important conversations for next year’s events,” Smith said. “I think Leigh Wood will take another fight. We pushed for that fight. Obviously, the [Michael] Conlan fight could also be interesting. The Josh Padley fight could also be interesting for Josh Warrington. Great, great fight in Yorkshire. So, you know, a lot of options there, but the plan for Josh is to get back in the ring in January. Leigh Wood, very unlikely now.”

And the return of heavyweight Johnny Fisher will be on the Monte Carlo card on December 6, an event that Smith said: “I think it’s the best card we’ve done there

Charlie Woods captures his first American Junior Golf

By
Charlie Woods

Charlie Woods captures his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) title, taking a major step in following his father Tiger’s legendary path.

The 16-year-old American claimed a three-shot victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in Bowling Green, Florida.

Tiger Woods played in 13 AJGA tournaments from 1991 to 1993, winning eight – the joint highest behind Phil Mickelson.

In his fifth AJGA event, Charlie began the final round one shot behind overnight leader Luke Colton.

Ranked 606th by the AJGA, the teenager mixed two bogeys with eight birdies for a six-under-par 66 on the Black Course at Streamsong Resort which saw him top the the leaderboard at 15 under.

Willie Gordon (65), Phillip Dunham (68) and Colton (70) finished three shots behind for a share of second place.

Before this week, the younger Woods’ best result on the AJGA circuit was a share of 25th place at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March.

He has competed with his father in the last five editions of the PNC Championship – a 36-hole event featuring two-player teams made up of a major champion and a family member – and last December they finished runners-up for a second time.

Tiger, a 15-time major winner, has been absent from tournaments since he underwent surgery in March to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and is expected to miss the rest of the PGA Tour season.

“Gervonta Davis’ Trainer Reveals His Biggest Worry Ahead of the Jake Paul Showdown”

Gervonta Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford has concerns over one particular rule ahead of ‘Tank’s’ showdown with Jake Paul.

The two stars are set to go head-to-head in an exhibition dust-up at the Kaseya Center in Florida on November 14. With just over a month to go until the controversial clash, there has already been some pre-fight drama after the event was relocated from Georgia after the commission objected to the monumental weight disparity between the two fighters.

Following confirmation of the fight, many fans were left wondering about the rules of the contest. Their clash will be an exhibition bout, over 10, 3-minute rounds, as revealed by MVP chief Nakisa Bidarian. “There will be a victor because the fighters have agreed and the commission has approved a maximum weight of 195lbs for this exhibition. The fight will be contested over 10 three-minute rounds, and when Tank and Jake enter the squared circle to go to battle, they will be wearing 12oz gloves,” said Bidarian.

“Sitting ringside will be three commission-approved world-class professional judges that will score every round to ensure there’s a decisive outcome for the fight if it goes the distance. And both men are enrolled in the highest level of testing with USADA.”

Gervonta Davis

Paul is predominately a cruiserweight (200lbs) – despite moving up to heavyweight for his win over Mike Tyson last November. As for Davis, the American has fought at lightweight (135lbs) throughout the majority of his career so far.

 

Despite the huge weight disparity and the 195lb limit on fight night, Ford is more aggrieved with the fact that both Paul and Davis will be wearing 12oz gloves on fight night. “I said the fight was doable because I watched Tank for years and watched other young men in gyms deal with big guys,” Ford told Fight Hub TV.

“Yes, he’s big. To me it’s like Jake having his first open fights, if anyone knows about the amateurs. My only concern is the gloves because we don’t fight in 12 oz gloves, we don’t use 12 oz gloves, that’s training gloves. So my thing is, ‘Put Tank in eights, put (Jake) in tens.’

RELATED NEWS : “‘He’s a Damn Killer!’ Terence Crawford Urged to Avoid World

“That makes the fight more interesting, and we’ll go from there. And I brought that up to one of his handlers, and they say, ‘No, we don’t want to do no mix and match.’ It’s supposed to be an exhibition…He can wear the tens and we wear the eights, then we got a fight.”

During a launch press-conference last month, Paul vowed to score a statement finish in November. “I haven’t got a knockout in a long time, so I’m itching. I’m just excited to be able to deliver that for the fans and have another most viral knockouts ever,” he said.

Terence Crawford

Davis himself was quick to offer his take on how the fight will potentially play out. “I’m much quicker than him. He’s much stronger and much bigger, but we all know that it’s harder for taller fighters to fight a shorter one,” he said. “He’s decent and he’s gonna hold up for a couple of rounds – but once it gets hot in there, you know how things play out.”

“Tension Builds After Anthony Joshua Reportedly Agrees to a 2026 Blockbuster Showdown with the Russian Giant”

A fresh challenger has entered the sweepstakes to take on Anthony Joshua in his boxing return.

Anthony Joshua: Drawing notable links to a host of potential fights in his return to action as soon as next year, former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is targeted to fight in a historic trip to Africa next.

And with a laundry list of contenders lining up to welcome Joshua back to the ring for the first time in over a year, the Watford native has been encouraged to spoil the comeback of Oleksandr Usyk first and foremost.

However, putting a potential showdown with Tyson Fury on the line, Joshua has been issued a challenge by a towering Russian star — who claims he’s already agreed to fight the Olympian next year.

Arslanbek Makhmudov reveals agreement to face Anthony Joshua

Tasked with knocking back the British veteran Dave Allen in a headliner this weekend in Sheffield, 6ft 5in heavyweight talent Arslanbek Makhmudov has entered the sweepstakes to take on Joshua.

Anthony Joshua

Towering over his Doncaster rival ahead of their pairing, Makhmudov and Allen are tipped to land a massive clash with another former world champion, whoever emerges with a win in their pivotal clash.

However, in another twist in the tale of Joshua’s return, Makhmudov has claimed he has already been broached a fight with the Watford star — a pairing he has agreed to take if he prevails with a win over Allen.

“Yeah, we just spoke a little bit on Instagram,” Makhmudov said of a fight with Joshua during an interview with Boxing News. “Just friendly, you know. And I offered him as a next fight, he said, ‘Okay, next year then. Next year we can do it.’

“For me, the fight is interesting because it’s a good opportunity,” Makhmudov explained. “And in sport, because we had a bit of a story in the amateurs. He lost to guys in the European championship and the world championship — I beat these two guys. For me, it’s interesting.”

Anthony Joshua called out for Nigeria clash against ex-sparring partner

Anthony Joshua

And while agreeing to fight Makhmudov — albeit during a text message exchange — Joshua continues to find himself linked to another pairing with a familiar name from his past.

Targeting an early 2026 return to the ring in a historic trip to Africa, Joshua was first tied to a showdown in Ghana; however, in recent days, an event featuring the former world champion closer to his roots in Nigeria has been floated.

And former training partner of Joshua, Congolese heavyweight star Martin Bakole has expressed his interest in fighting his ex-sparring rival, having rebounded from his thudding loss to Joseph Parker.

“Retired British boxer with 3 stoppage losses boldly claims he would have defeated Terence Crawford”

It is almost a month since Terence Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez, but the manner of the victory means that Crawford’s reputation is constantly being enhanced.

On September 13, Crawford defied the odds to deliver the best performance of his career as he outpointed the Mexican icon in Las Vegas .

Success brought Crawford the undisputed crown at super-middleweight and now fight fans are awaiting what the Nebraska man will do next

Options exist in various weight-classes, but one former world champion at 168lbs believes he would have had what it takes to beat Crawford if their paths ever crossed.

George Groves briefly ruled the world when he was WBA champion at the backend of his professional career.

Terence Crawford

The London man made two successful defences, including a win over Chris Eubank Jr, before he was stopped by Callum Smith in 2018.

Smith became the second man to beat Groves within the distance following on from Carl Froch who halted Groves twice.

Despite some defensive shortcomings at the highest level, Groves is insistent he would have had too much size for Crawford.

“I highly admire Crawford, but surely he wouldn’t have beaten me? I would have done him,” said Groves when speaking to Poker Strategy .

“I’m sure he’d back himself too. I think he’d have a problem with the bigger super middleweights.”

“‘He’s a Damn Killer!’ Terence Crawford Urged to Avoid World Champion – Brutal Knockout Artist Chilling Warning Message That Has Terence Crawford on Notice”

Terence Crawford currently stands as the face of boxing. After showing his class with a unanimous decision victory over Mexican legend Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in September, ‘Bud’ is now the biggest pull in the sport.

But where does he go after his success in the ‘Fight of the Century’? Does he run it back with Canelo? Perhaps he goes after Gennady Golovkin, who spoke recently about his temptation to return to the ring after a quiet few years.

Another name in the conversation is Sebastian Fundora, but it is our understanding that Crawford isn’t looking to move back down to 154 pounds. However, if the American chooses to move up to Crawford’s weight, a meeting could be on the cards.

Elsewhere, some boxing fans were throwing the name of Dmitry Bivol out there, claiming Crawford could beat him as well, to which former boxer Tony Bellew disagreed.

One name that the undisputed super middleweight world champion has been told to avoid is Janibek Alimkhanuly. Tim Bradley – a former light welterweight and welterweight champion – took to YouTube to warn Crawford about a future match-up against the unbeaten Kazakh. Even calling the 32-year-old a ‘damn killer.’

Anthony Joshua

Bradley was straight in his opinions on Alimkhanuly: “Janibek ain’t no joke. Oh, no. That is a tough fight for Terence Crawford. I love me some Crawford, man, y’all know what time it is, but I gotta call a spade a damn spade. Janibek ain’t nothing to mess with. He cold. Southpaw.”

Alimkhanuly is not the biggest name in boxing. In fact, he isn’t even the biggest name in Kazakhstan boxing, thanks in part to the aforementioned Golovkin, and Bradley makes a point of this: “You ain’t know much about him? That’s fine, you ain’t gotta know much about him.

RELATED NEWS : Yes Not For Me ’I ll Never Step Into the Ring with Terence

I’m here to tell you – speed, power, size, defence, offence, footwork, angle. Dude is cold, man. He’s a damn killer. If Crawford goes down and faces that dude, his legacy… It may not be a marquee name… everybody going to be tuning in to see the greatness of Terence Crawford… and I’m here to tell you, Janibek ain’t here to be messed with.”

Terence Crawford

Alimkhanuly last fought in April, when he defended his WBO and IBF world middleweight titles against Anauel Ngamissengue. Over the past few days, speculation has been rife regarding Janibek’s next opponent, with WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara the favourite. A chance to win three middleweight titles and become king of the division should be enough to make this fight happen. However, if Terence Crawford comes calling, Alimkhanuly would surely jump at the chance to face the biggest name in boxing.

“It’s Weird He’s Avoiding the Rematch”  Gervonta Davis

“It’s Weird He’s Avoiding the Rematch”  Gervonta Davis Accused of Disrespect by Lamont Roach

Lamont Roach appreciated Gervonta Davis for giving an opportunity Davis didn’t need to grant him before they fought March 1.
Seven months later, Roach feels disrespected by Davis because the WBA lightweight champion reneged on agreeing to fight him again.
Davis exercised his contractual right to an immediate rematch following their controversial majority draw, but postponed their second fight twice before ultimately announcing that he’ll instead face Jake Paul in a cruiserweight exhibition November 14 at Kaseya Center in Miami.
Once Davis definitively bailed on their rematch, Roach, the WBA 130-pound champion, agreed to move up another five pounds to face WBC interim 140-pound champ Isaac Cruz in a Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view main event December 6 at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.

Roach addressed what he considers bizarre behavior by Davis during the newest episode of “Inside The Ring,” available on DAZN and The Ring’s YouTube channel.
“For real, for real, I feel a little disrespected like just on the business aspect,” Roach told co-hosts Max Kellerman and Mike Coppinger. “Just because you don’t do business like that.
Gervonta Davis
“Now say if I were to go to arbitration – then what? Then you gotta pay lawyer fees or you put your promotional company in the hole, where they have to back you because technically it’s on them. They’re the ones who puttin’ on the fight.
“That’s who I have the contract [with]. That’s who draws up the agreement, the contract, or whatever the case may be. Like it’s crazy for you to do business-wise. Personally, and for the integrity of the sport, it’s just like, ‘Now you playin’ with the sport.’ Like, come on, bro. I just think that’s a little weird.
Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOs) assumed Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) would want an opportunity to redeem himself following a 12-round, 135-pound title fight Roach and legions of fans believe he won at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Judge Eric Marlinski scored Davis a 115-113 winner, but Glenn Feldman and Steve Weisfeld had it 114-114 apiece.

Baltimore’s Davis escaped with a draw in large part because referee Steve Willis didn’t count a knockdown for Roach when Davis oddly took a knee 43 seconds into the ninth round. Davis, who claimed a substance placed in his hair got in his eye, immediately went to his corner and had trainer Calvin Ford wipe off his face after taking a knee, which could’ve resulted in a disqualification.
Their rematch was initially planned for June 21 in Las Vegas and later for August 16.
The hard-hitting Davis was a 16-1 favorite before Roach tested him. Now much of the public perceives Davis as a fighter far too content to avoid their rematch.
Anthony Joshua
Roach, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, has been told as much countless times throughout their home state.
“All you gonna hear is, ‘Why that man ducking you?,’ ” Roach said of his interactions with fans. “I mean, and trust me, I been to Baltimore. I had a lunch or two in Baltimore. I hear the same thing every time. Like, ‘Oh, big fan. But why that man ducking you?’ That’s all I hear. … I try to let it go, but it’s hard to let go because that’s what everybody talks about. That’s all. It’s crazy.”
