The expected has come to pass as the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis has been officially canceled. This decision was taken by Most Valuable Promotions following the latest allegations of domestic violence against Davis, which included a civil lawsuit lodged in Miami-Dade County in late October.

Davis, facing a series of allegations, is accused of striking his ex-girlfriend—who is also the mother of his children—during a dispute on Father’s Day. Although he was arrested in July, the prosecution dropped charges in August after the alleged victim chose not to pursue the matter.

In this latest lawsuit, Davis is being accused of battery and kidnapping related to their relationship.

Following the unveiling of the lawsuit, MVP launched an investigation into the claims, leading to the belief that Davis would be withdrawn from the upcoming event.

Several names have circulated as potential substitutes for Davis, including former UFC fighter Nate Diaz, heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, and renowned boxers Ryan Garcia and Terence Crawford.

Despite the cancellation of this bout, MVP has confirmed that Jake Paul is still slated to headline a Netflix event by the end of 2025.

“Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly,” said Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions. “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. Details regarding 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.”
