Florida Rules Jake PaulGervonta Davis an Exhibition as Miami Date Set

The designation removes it from official records, with rules and betting availability still under review.

Overview

  • The Nov. 14 event at Miami’s Kaseya Center will stream on Netflix and will not count on either fighter’s professional record.
  • Florida Athletic Commission executive Timothy Shipman confirmed the exhibition status, citing the large weight gap between Paul (~199.5 lbs last fight) and Davis (~133.75 lbs).
  • Rounds, glove size, contracted weight, and other conditions are being evaluated by Florida regulators after the late venue switch.
  • Most Valuable Promotions previously proposed safety concessions such as 12‑ounce gloves and USADA testing while seeking waivers in Georgia.
  • The move from Atlanta followed opposition from Georgia’s commission, and industry reaction includes warnings that the matchup could damage Paul’s prospects for future sanctioned bouts.
