This size difference has made it likely that Paul. vs. Davis will be an exhibition bout, given that most commissions wouldn’t even consider sanctioning a professional fight between two boxers of such vastly different weights. <\/p>\n
However, it appears that even if it’s an exhibition, the Georgia commission still isn’t fully committed to letting this fight take place. <\/p>\n
A September 2 article <\/a>from Josh Peter of USA Today noted that the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission (GAEC), which oversees all boxing events in the state, has still not approved this fight taking place. <\/p>\n \u201cThe commission hasn\u2019t approved this event yet, but it could still be considered at a future meeting,\u2019\u2019 Robert A. Sinners, Communications Director for the Secretary of State, was quoted as saying in the article. <\/p>\n The story later adds that the next GAEC board meeting is on September 18, which is likely when the fate of this fight will be decided. <\/p>\n Jake Paul putting in work for his fight against Gervonta Davis on November 14th \ud83e\udd4a<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5 @jakepaul<\/a> #Boxing<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/qX91BpDxIn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Source of Boxing (@Sourceofboxing) August 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n It’s clear that the weight difference between Paul and Davis is the reason for this potential snag in the fight taking place, as the article noted Georgia’s rules and regulations state, “No boxing contest or exhibition may be scheduled, and no boxer may engage in a boxing contest or exhibition without the approval of the commission or the commission’s representative if the difference in weight between the boxers exceeds (a maximum of nine pounds).” <\/p>\n Paul and Davis will undoubtedly have more than a nine-pound difference between them.<\/p>\n While there’s a lot that has to be worked out, it seems that this superfight (at least its location) is up in the air at the moment.<\/p>\n The Latest Boxing News<\/p>\n Jake Paul Reveals His Gervonta Davis Fight Weight<\/a><\/p>\n UFC Legend Nate Diaz’s Reaction To Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis Fight Says It All<\/a><\/p>\n Canelo Alvarez Details What He Expects From Terence Crawford<\/a><\/p>\n Max Kellerman’s Clear Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford Prediction Turns Heads<\/a><\/p>\n
