The Problem Child, Jake “El Gallo de Dorado” Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) and Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) will meet face-to-face to preview their highly-anticipated Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix event.
The press conference will be held at 6:00pm ET today at Palladium Theater in New York City. Doors opened at 5pm. The event was hosted by Brian Custer.
This bout was initially supposed to take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Georgia and boxing officials there came to their senses and passed on the fight, only for its neighboring southern state and their athletic commission to gleefully pick up the scraps and continue the ridiculous charade of a match between two fighters who have no business in the ring with each other.
Paul is listed at 6-1 and 200 pounds, while Davis (30-0-1, 29KOs), a three-time world title holder across two weight divisions, fought his last match in March against Lamont Roach Jr. at the lightweight limit of 135 pounds on a 5-foot-5 frame.
Most Valuable Promotions CEO Nakisa Bidarian said the fight will be contested at a maximum weight of 195 pounds, over 10, three-minute rounds with both fighters wearing 12-ounce gloves. Davis has fought primarily with eight-ounce gloves, while Paul fought Tyson with 14-ounce gloves, and his other fights were with 10-ounce gloves.
Win or lose, the result won’t count towards their professional boxing records, and the fight will be judged by three people approved by the athletic commission in Florida.
“I’m much quicker than him,” Davis countered. “He’s much stronger and much bigger, but we all know that it’s harder for taller fighters to fight a shorter one.
He’s decent and he’s gonna hold up for a couple of rounds – but once it gets hot in there, you know how things play out.
“He said he gonna out-box me? Whoop-de-doo,” Davis said, which drew a laugh from the Palladium crowd.
