YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul's anticipated match with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis on November 14 has reportedly been cancelled. Netflix and Jake's boxing company, MVP (@mostVproductions), reportedly decided after a thorough "investigation" about the "civil lawsuit" filed against Tank in "Miami-Dade County on October 30, 2025."

Jake took to his X channel (@jakepaul) to express his frustration working with Gervonta following the match's cancellation. He wrote,

"Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare."

He added,

"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."

Most Valuable Promotions released an official statement (@mostvpromotions) on November 4 about the cancellation. Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of the company, noted,

"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.”

Jake Paul took to his X channel after his anticipated match with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis was cancelled. After describing his "unprofessionalism", Jake went on to bash Tank after his ex-girlfriend allegedly filed a lawsuit against him. Jake added,

"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. I’m so sorry to everyone involved."

He continued,

"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."

He gave a disclaimer to Tank's fans and took a shot at the latter's streetwear fashion brand, SWAG. However, Jake noted that he will continue the spirit of his boxing championships and added,

"As for me it’s on to the next one as always. Anyone. Anytime. Any place."

While MVP announced the cancellation of Jake and Gervonta's match, they noted that the former will headline an event in 2025. However, the details of the potential replacement match are unclear and are likely to be released later.
