Why has Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis been cancelled?
The decision to cancel the Miami bout comes just days after Gervonta Davis was accused of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress by his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rosse.
MVP released the following statement regarding the cancellation: “Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly.
“While we will not be proceeding with this event, our plan still remains for Jake to headline an event on Netflix in 2025.
“Details about 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.”
These new allegations arise just two months after a domestic violence case against Davis was dismissed by a different ex-girlfriend.
Davis was also previously arrested on domestic violence battery charges in February 2020 and December 2022.
The promotion stated that fans who purchased tickets to Paul vs Davis through Ticketmaster will receive an automatic refund via their original point of purchase within 14-21 days.
Who will Jake Paul fight next?
In light of the cancellation of the Davis fight, several prominent names are reportedly being considered for Paul’s next match before the end of the year.
Andre Ward and others have been mentioned as potential opponents for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
MVP is reportedly aiming to schedule Paul’s next fight on either Friday, December 12, or Friday, December 19.
