Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis event officially scrapped in light of latter's recent legal troubles 

The Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis boxing match is officially off. Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) recently confirmed having pulled the plug on the exhibition event, while confirming that Paul will be competing this year.

The Paul-Davis exhibition fight was scheduled for Nov.14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Last week, Davis' former partner filed a new civil lawsuit against him for alleged battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

It appears these legal issues forced MVP and Netflix to call off the fight. In an official statement, the MVP CEO wrote:

"Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix have announced that Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis, originally scheduled for Friday, November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, will no longer be moving forward. Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly. While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025."

We thank Netflix, the Kaseya Center, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for their partnership. Most Valuable Promotions appreciates the continued support and understanding of our athletes, partners, sponsors, and fans as we work to finalize updated event plans." [H/t: MMA Junkie]

Jake Paul sounds off on Gervonta Davis in light of their fight getting canceled

Jake Paul recently went off on Gervonta Davis and slammed the WBA lightweight champion for alleged "unprofessionalism" and claimed that working with him was an "absolute nightmare."

In an X post, Paul addressed his exhibition fight against Davis being canceled and wrote:

"Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare. The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the showing up hours late to shoots. To the numerous arrests and related accusations, and lawsuits. If you support this man, you support the most vile sin a man can commit. I didn’t want to give this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account. My company champions women."

He continued:

"I’m so sorry to everyone involved. Mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at MVP, and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight. Sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again. It’s scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture and sports, including in positions of power... As for me, it’s on to the next one as always. Anyone. Anytime. Any place."
