À propos de cet audio
Jake Paul has dominated boxing and celebrity headlines in recent days following the abrupt cancellation of his highly anticipated exhibition fight against Gervonta Tank Davis. The bout scheduled for November 14 in Miami was called off by Most Valuable Promotions after Davis faced serious allegations from a former girlfriend, including battery and kidnapping. Paul publicly condemned Davis on his social platforms, describing working with him as a nightmare and expressing regret to fans and the promotion, while Most Valuable Promotions confirmed their commitment to finding Paul a new opponent to headline a Netflix event in 2025 per ESPN and All Out Fighting.
With Davis now out of the picture, speculation swirled around who might step in, but business obstacles immediately nixed popular options. Oscar De La Hoya quickly shut down rumors of Ryan Garcia replacing Davis, pointing out that Garcia is under contract with both Golden Boy and DAZN, while Paul’s events are Netflix exclusives. Promoters did confirm that Paul’s camp had approached Garcia’s team, but the conversation went nowhere, with De La Hoya firmly stating to Ring Magazine that the fight was never close to happening. Former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou revealed to TMZ that he was contacted as well but declined the offer, and names like Andre Ward, Nate Diaz, and even ex-UFC champion Chris Eubank Jr. have been floated with varying degrees of seriousness. Meanwhile, promoter Eddie Hearn left the door ajar for a shock bout against heavyweight superstar Anthony Joshua, telling iFL TV “never say never” but heavily hinting that Joshua is likely unavailable until early next year.
Refunds are now being processed for fans who bought tickets, but anticipation remains high as Paul’s 2025 Netflix headliner is still in the works. The exhibition’s cancellation generated worldwide news coverage, especially given the precedent of Netflix fights drawing huge international audiences and Paul’s continuing knack for headline-grabbing moves.
Outside the ring, Paul’s business hustle remains relentless. According to TechCrunch and The Wall Street Journal, his men’s personal care startup W, launched in partnership with Walmart, has now raised over $14 million at a $150 million valuation, with investors ranging from Shrug Capital to tennis star Naomi Osaka. His sports-betting platform Betr, also making news, has reached $100 million in funding as it aims for national expansion, and his venture capital firm Anti Fund continues investing in high-profile tech and defense startups.
On social media, his reaction to the Davis scandal was widely shared, fueling both outrage and support among fans and critics, and keeping him at the center of both sports news and influencer drama. For now, Jake Paul stays in the public eye not for his next right hook, but for a flurry of business deals, bold statements, and the never-ending suspense over just who will stand across the ring from him on Netflix next year.
