Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis was seen as one of boxing’s brightest pound-for-pound stars, but has opted to take a different route in his career by facing influencer and novice boxer Jake Paul in an exhibition fight.
The American began his career in 2013, when he was touted as the next great American boxing star, promoted by Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Fast forward to 2025, and after selling out arenas and winning accolades in two divisions, he now finds himself up against former YouTube star Paul in a boxing exhibition on 14 November.
Former world champions have been critical of the contest, with one labelling it ‘farcical’ for the weight difference of over 60 lb between the pair.
His last professionally sanctioned fight came against Lamont Roach in March, when the pair controversially boxed to a majority decision draw for the WBA lightweight title held by ‘Tank’.

Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia
Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia fought on April 22nd at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas at a catchweight.
This bout was a highly anticipated fight between the two young, undefeated American fighters, which had a feisty build-up, where both were attempting to prove they were the bigger star.
The catchweight was 136 lbs, and neither man was allowed to rehydrate more than 10 lbs over the limit, which was put in place to even the odds for Davis against Garcia, who was a natural super lightweight at the time.
‘Tank’ found early success in the second round when he floored ‘King Ry’ with a straight left hand from the southpaw stance.
Garcia struggled to catch Davis with many clean shots, and then in the seventh was caught with a body shot, which sent him to one knee to seal the win for the Baltimore fighter.
