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.

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.

On the Edge of Reality: Joshua-Paul Clash Hangs in the Balance After Initial Talks

LONDON, England — The “mental, crazy and dangerous” heavyweight fight between two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and 13-fight novice Jake Paul has a “50/50” chance of happening, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.
The Matchroom boss, Joshua’s promoter for his entire professional career, had exploratory talks with Nakisa Bidarian about the fight on Wednesday and is convinced Paul is serious about his desire to fight AJ.
Ever since he kicked off his boxing career, the former You Tuber has always hit the headlines by calling out the sport’s biggest names, promising to one day beat Canelo Alvarez to become world champion.
But Paul is now thinking even bigger than that and has recently set his sights on 6ft 6in Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) former world champion and 2012 Olympic gold medalist, who boasts knockout victories over Wladimir Klitschko, Alexander Povetkin and Kubrat Pulev.

However, with the Tyson Fury fight that Joshua so desperately craves seemingly in danger of never happening, his team have been approached about a number of different potential fights. One of them is Paul and Hearn says the idea has legs following his call with Paul’s business partner.oleksandr usyk
“This is very real,” Hearn said when asked by The Ring about Joshua-Paul.
I had a good chat for about an hour with Nakisa on [July 30] and now I believe they want the fight. I really do.
“Nakisa was very honest and he’s concerned about the fight, but Jake truly believes he can win the fight or at least be competitive in it.
“And now because of the size of the fight, it leads me to believe there’s a very good chance it could happen. If I had to rate that chance I would say it’s 50:50. It was a very positive conversation and we expect that conversation to extend over the coming weeks.

“If they really want it, it will happen.”

Paul, 28, was last in action in June when he claimed a unanimous decision against former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. after 10 rounds at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Before that he had beaten 59-year-old Mike Tyson over eight-twos in November.

Joshua, meanwhile, has been out of action since he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in September last year in his bid to become a three-time heavyweight champion. That night, he weighed just over 252lbs, while Paul was just under 200lbs for his fight with Chavez.
But Hearn says Paul will look to pack on the pounds for what would be his first fight at heavyweight.
Deontay wilder
“There wouldn’t be such a huge difference,” Hearn said. “Jake would be a heavyweight on the night.
“But, look, I can’t even necessarily justify it to you. It’s a mismatch in my opinion, it’s dangerous in my opinion but this is a guy, a cruiserweight who will be a heavyweight.
“I think Joshua is probably yet to get his head round it until he knows that it’s a possibility. After my call this week I’d say it’s definitely a possibility.
“AJ understands the commercial world and will look at this and see that it’s huge. It would probably be the biggest fight that could ever happen anywhere. It would be right up there with his biggest purses ever. You can talk about the boxing world but this would be the outer world.”
Hearn also believes that the nature of the potential beating that Paul is facing could “evaporate” him from the boxing world a little over five years into his fighting career.
He added: “I said to Nakisa the other day that this is about the fear factor. This is dangerous. This is like tuning in to watch David Blaine but much more dangerous and much more real. You’re not trying to escape from a box in three minutes, you’re in there with one of the biggest punchers of all time and it isn’t a game.

“Jake Paul Shocks Everyone by Agreeing to Outrageous Terms for Anthony Joshua Fight During Secretive Turki Alalshikh Meeting”

Jake Paul has proven he is serious about facing Anthony Joshua by accepting an incredibly low purse split for the crossover clash.

‘The Problem Child’ met with Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh last week to discuss a possible fight with AJ.

Paul has set his sights on the former unified heavyweight champion after overcoming Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in his last outing.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer vowed to knock out Joshua during a lengthy rant on his podcast where he claimed the Watford powerhouse ‘doesn’t have a chin’

This led to a phone call with the Olympic gold medallist, where both men verbally agreed to face each other in 2026.

Boxing mogul Alalshikh was then contacted to get involved with the fight

And during a recent appearance on ‘Tha Boxing Voice’, he revealed that Paul had accepted his proposal for a 99-1 purse split in Joshua’s favour.

“I’m not against what Jake Paul’s doing in boxing, it’s good for boxing to have a young generation,” said Alalshikh.

“I’m against some kinds of fights he does. I’m now thinking him against Joshua. Joshua, if he destroys (Paul), it will be good for me.

Recently, During An Interview, Jake Paul reveals conversations with Anthony Joshua as promoter confesses truth about fight

After defeating Mike Tyson in November 2024 and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June this year, the influencer turned professional boxer is starting to look towards his next big challenge

Although a possible title fight against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez is still in the works, another matchup that has caught the eye is a potential clash with former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Recently, during an interview, Jake Paul revealed details of his private exchange of messages with Anthony Joshua, where, according to Paul, the Briton confirmed his interest in fighting, but not immediately:

He just said he’s going to do two more fights, and then we do it in 2026. But he’s willing

Who will be Jake Paul’s next opponent?

This is not the first time Paul has mentioned Joshua, as on his podcast last March, the YouTuber dared to say that he could defeat the former champion: “He has no jaw, no skills and is stiff”. Then, in April, he claimed that Joshua had responded: “I saw you challenged me. Let’s make it happen”.

Paul, 28, insists that fight will happen if the fight with Gilberto Ramirez does not materialize. The American currently ranks 14th in the WBA rankings at cruiserweight, although his inclusion has generated controversy within the organization.

When is Anthony Joshua’s next fight?

Despite Jake Paul’s claims, there is no official confirmation from Anthony Joshua’s camp about this fight. The Briton’s promoter, in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, was clear on the matter: “I think there’s a possibility of seeing Anthony Joshua this year… but it won’t be against Jake Paul.”

He also suggested that Paul is taking advantage of Joshua‘s name for media purposes: “If I was Anthony Joshua and I was being offered to fight someone who a few years ago was a Disney star… he’s not anymore”.

Therefore, at least for now, the possible fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua seems to be more in the realm of speculation than reality.

Joshua is currently recovering from elbow surgery following his defeat to Daniel Dubois. His return to the ring is expected in late 2025, although an opponent has yet to be confirmed.

Despite Joshua responded positively Tyson Fury Delivers Surprising Verdict On Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul Fight

A fight between two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua and YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul is a serious possibility. Tyson Fury has weighed in on how it might play out.

Paul has always been ambitious in his call outs. Since beating a 58-year-old faded Mike Tyson last year, he set his sights on Joshua, calling the Olympic Gold Medalist stiff, without skill and lacking a chin.

Despite Joshua responded positively to the tentative offer, most fans would rather him face Fury in a long-awaited, all-British heavyweight scrap. With ‘The Gypsy King’ adamant he is retired, that does not look to be happening anytime soon.

Speaking in a media scrum after confirming that he will not be fighting again, a straight-faced Fury backed the match-up and called it a pick ’em.

“I think it’s a good fight. I think it’s a real, 50/50 fight.”

Joshua himself has expressed his interest in the fight, backed by promoter Eddie Hearn, and Paul remains convinced it will happen in 2026.

The most likely course of action for the Brit is two or three more traditional contests, provided he scores victories, before entertaining the big-money sideshow fight when he has one foot out the door of the sport.

‘AJ’ is expected to return before the end of the year, with the latest update on his recovery from elbow surgery being that he could fit in a full training camp and be ready for November.

As for Paul, his campaign has been bolstered this week by the WBA officially ranking him at number 14 in its cruiserweight rankings. The development means champion Gilberto Ramirez – who also holds the WBO belt – could opt to make a voluntary defence against the American.

Jake Paul reiterated his desire to fight Anthony Joshua at the weekend; The British heavyweight’s promoter Eddie Hearn admitted the fight would generate massive public demand and financial reward’; Paul defeated former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr on Saturday night

Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul would tempt a ‘lot of people’ to watch the fight, says the British heavyweight’s promoter Eddie Hearn.

The YouTuber turned professional fighter called for an audacious clash against Joshua, a two-time world champion, in the aftermath of his unanimous decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr last weekend.

Joshua is expected to return in November or December this year after elbow surgery and Hearn admitted that a future showdown with Paul would create massive public demand and financial reward.

“I think you have to give Jake his props and look he’s a disruptor, he wants to create mad moments,” Hearn told Sky Sports.

“If he wants to be mad enough to get in the ring with Anthony Joshua and make several tens of potentially hundreds of millions, he will do it, Jake Paul.

“Will AJ? He’s his own man, but I will be saying, ‘Yeah, go on mate. Go and deal with this guy. Get him out of the game.’

“I think a lot of people will tune in to watch. Is it a fight that I think should be happening? No, not really, but we live in a completely crazy world, especially in the world of boxing where you just never know.”

Paul has said: “Anthony Joshua is an insane fight, but I want that challenge.

“We’ve been DM-ing back and forth. He wants to make it happen. He called me up and it’s looking very likely for next year.”

Paul can challenge for world title

Anthony joshua

Paul, who fights at cruiserweight, would have to step up in weight for a Joshua fight.

But he has now entered the World Boxing Association’s cruiserweight rankings at No 14, making him eligible to challenge WBA champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez.

“I want tougher fighters. I want to be a world champion,” Paul said after defeating Chavez.

“Zurdo looked slow tonight. That’d be easy work, too.”

Hearn insisted that Paul deserves credit for a career-best performance against Chavez, a former WBC middleweight champion.

He said: “I’ve surprised myself this week because I haven’t given him the respect that I think he deserves, which is look this guy has been fighting for a while now in big events around the world.

Anthony joshua

“He went into the game as a complete novice. I think he’s made big improvements as a boxer. I think he’s taking things seriously. I don’t think he’s a YouTuber anymore. I think he’s a professional boxer.

“Is he top 15 in the world? Don’t be so ridiculous. But is he top 100 in the world? Maybe and by the way, I know that might not sound as a compliment, that’s a big compliment.

“I think his [boxing] IQ is improving. I think he can whack. I think he can take a shot. He beat Chavez who is a washed up guy but he was a former world champion that did train for that fight.”

“Get him out of boxing” Eddie Hearn praises Jake Paul but implores Anthony Joshua to “Get him out of boxing”

Anthony Joshua: Over the weekend, Jake Paul had another boxing event in which he was better than his opponent. But in the process, he once again showed that his choice of opponent isn’t changing the stigma around him as a boxer. No one can take him too seriously as a pure boxer because of the level of opponents he has faced.

Paul has claimed that he’s ready to take a major step up in competition following his win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The problem is that we’ve heard it from him before. If he’s serious this time, though, we could be set for a truly explosive next fight. Paul went so far as to call out two completely opposite fighters in Gervonta Davis and Anthony Joshua. Both seem outlandish all things considered.

For one, both would be far and away the most accomplished and dangerous fighters Paul has faced so far. They also aren’t even in his weight class. Davis is 60 pounds lighter than Paul, while Joshua is around 40 pounds heavier. Neither makes sense, but if Paul is serious, Joshua’s promoter says why not?

Anthony joshua

Eddie Hearn was asked about Paul calling out Joshua, and Hearn surprisingly had a lot of praise for Paul, saying he deserves respect for taking boxing seriously for so many years. Hearn also doesn’t mind the idea of Joshua fighting Paul, especially since it will lead to a lot of money for everyone involved. But he also sent Paul a warning in the process.

“If he wants to be mad enough to get into a ring with Anthony Joshua and make several tens or potentially hundreds of millions, [Paul] will do it. Will AJ? He’s his own man, but I will be saying, ‘Go and deal with this guy, get him out of the game’. And I think a lot of people would tune in to watch. But is it a fight that I think should be happening? No, not really, but we live in a completely crazy world. You just never know.“

 After knockout taunt Boxing star Anthony Joshua issued a warning to American YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul

British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua has issued a warning to American YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul following a taunt about his previous knockout defeats, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Paul, 28, revealed in a recent interview with The Sun that he and the former two-time heavyweight champion had been exchanging private messages earlier this year, during which he mocked Joshua over his knockout losses. However, the trolling prompted a stern response from the 35-year-old.

According to Paul, the last message he received from Joshua carried a clear and menacing tone.

“He said, ‘I can’t wait to fight. You’re gonna be fighting for your life and you’ll know the feeling that I’ve gone through.’ Or something like that,” Paul told SunSport, admitting it was the last time he heard from Joshua.

The brewing tension has fuelled speculation about a possible future clash between both men, with Paul expressing his desire to face Joshua in front of a hostile British crowd.

“My first fight was in front of an English crowd and it’s rowdy,” Paul said.

“I love walking into the lions’ den and so me versus Anthony Joshua, 100,000 people chanting ‘f*** Jake Paul’ would be pretty fun for me.”

Joshua, who has not fought since suffering a knockout defeat to fellow Brit Daniel Dubois in September, is currently recovering from elbow surgery.

Despite his recent inactivity, he remains a formidable presence in the heavyweight scene.

Paul, meanwhile, continues to blur the lines between entertainment and elite boxing. His controversial exhibition bout against boxing legend Mike Tyson was watched by over 100 million viewers on Netflix.

Paul won the eight-round fight, though it drew widespread criticism due to Tyson’s age.

As he returned to the ring on Sunday, beating former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in a dominant points victory, Paul remains focused on climbing the ranks.

“I think it’s back to the drawing board after this, especially depending on what the WBC and WBA rank me after I win,” he said.

“If they rank me in the position where I can go for a world championship, then we’re gonna try and get that done.”

Eddie Hearn: Jake Paul plots talks with Anthony Joshua’s team in New York with YouTube star ‘adamant’ he wants to fight heavyweight

Anthony Joshua: Jake Paul will use his week promoting Katie Taylor’s trilogy bout with Amanda Serrano to also hold talks over a fight with Anthony Joshua.

So when Paul & Co stage the historic trilogy fight – talks with Hearn over a shock AJ bout will also be on the agenda.

Paul’s promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian said: “Anthony Joshua, I think that’s the main one that we talked a lot about…

“He’s adamant that he wants to make that fight happen at the end of 2026 and we’re gonna meet with Matchroom while we’re in New York to promote the greatest trilogy in the history of boxing.”

Paul had his first heavyweight fight in November when Mike Tyson controversially came out of retirement aged 58.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer won over eight, revised two-minute rounds but admitted the TWO STONE jump from cruiserweight was gruelling.

Paul, 28, returned to the 14st 4lb stone limit of 200lb in victory over former middleweight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39.

“But you know, look at Deontay Wilder, he was beating these guys weighing 215lb.

“Granted he’s like 6’6 or something but anything is possible and I like the challenge.

“People’s criticism is fight someone in their prime, who’s a beast. I think people just want to see me lose! That’s really what the message is behind it all.

“He wants to make it happen. He called me up and it’s looking very likely for next year.”

Paul’s victory California against Chavez – who won the 160lb title 14 years ago – looks set to land him a world ranking in the WBC and WBA.

“Like I said, this feels like chapter one’s done tonight. Now we’re moving into chapter two and I’m just getting warmed up in this sport.

“But people hold the Tommy Fury thing against me, but what now? I just beat a former world champion and I’m coming to avenge that loss as well with Tommy.”

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Sums Up Jake Paul’s Chance Of Winning

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Sums Up Jake Paul’s Chance Of Winning World Title In Just 2 Words After Loss

Jake Paul beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr via unanimous decision at the Honda Center, Anaheim, extending his professional record to 12-1 and handed the Mexican his seventh loss.

Chavez, 39 and years past his fighting best, seemed allergic to offense in the opening rounds, plodding forward but throwing very little and allowing Paul to build a steady lead

The fight followed that pattern, Chavez reluctant and Paul landing enough to win the rounds, showing that he has made some small additions to his arsenal in the form of bodywork and uppercuts. It was not a high level contest,

Chavez rallied in the ninth, finally doing enough to win the round and testing Paul’s chin a little. He looked to do the same in the tenth and final but had less success and lost wide on the cards.

Post-fight, Paul once again called out cruiserweight world champions Gilberto Ramirez – who defended his unified titles on the undercard with a points win over Yuniel Dorticos – and Badou Jack.

Though Chavez was complimentary in his own interview, he said that he feels the American is ‘not ready’ for a world title run.

“He’s strong. A good boxer [for] the first three, four rounds. After that, I feel I tired him. I don’t think he’s ready for the champions, but he’s a good fighter.”

Paul said he would fight again this year, naming the two champions above as well as lightweight world champion Gervonta Davis and Tommy Fury – the only man to have beaten him – as options.
