The Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis fight has changed locations. Last month, Paul announced that he would be fighting the much lighter Davis on November 14th in Atlanta, Georgia, on Netflix.
Unfortunately for Paul and Davis, a leading member of the Georgia State Athletic Commission criticized the fight due the massive weight difference between the two fighters.
On September 8th, Rick Thompson, chairman of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission (GAEC), blasted the fight as a money grab and voiced his opposition to the fight taking place in Georgia.
“This is the dumbest (expletive) I’ve ever heard. It’s a money grabber, and I’m not OK with that.’’
On Wednesday, Paul’s MVP Promotions revealed they were moving the fight to Miami, and it will take place at the Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat.
“New city, same mission, seek and destroy the tank,” said Paul in a statement to ESPN. “Kaseya Center. Friday, November 14. I’m bringing the heat, and Miami will see me take down this angry elf while the world watches live on Netflix.”
“Jake Paul has been cherry picking in the sport of boxing for a while now, but he picked the wrong opponent this time,” Davis added in a statement. “He better start losing some weight, chasing some chickens, and pray that helps him some on fight night! Thank you to Netflix for giving me the opportunity to whoop this clown!”

The ruleset of the fight between Davis and Paul is still unclear, but considering Paul’s relationship with the Florida commission, it’ll all probably get worked out pretty soon.
