The duo will reportedly clash in an exhibition bout that will be broadcast worldwide on Netflix. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0zoao287r\">Due to the weight difference, a professional fight between the pair doesn&#8217;t look feasible. Paul fought Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in cruiserweight in his last fight while &#8216;Tank&#8217; Davis has called 135 lbs his home and is the WBA lightweight champion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_c0voqxw5i\">Davis looked set to have a rematch against Lamont Roach, but that fight was cancelled after Tank&#8217;s arrest.

And you know what I say to people is, if you don\u2019t like something, don\u2019t talk about it, because you\u2019re just making it bigger. But at the end of the day, people are always going to have something to say about every single one of my fights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_tt5ra9yb9\">&#8220;His is a bigger risk for Gervonta than it was for, you know, Floyd [Mayweather] and Conor [McGregor] in that matchup [in 2017],&#8221; He added. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_gmvheqta0\">&#8220;Conor wasn\u2019t a boxer. Conor didn\u2019t have a weight advantage. So Gervonta is taking a bigger risk than Floyd, in my opinion, and it\u2019s credit to him because of that weight difference. And that\u2019s what makes this a good, even fight, is his skill and experience being top 10 pound-for-pound, and then my weight and height advantage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">One will rise.

Paul claimed that Davis is one of the biggest superstars in boxing and is actually a great fighter, sparking his interest to fight the Baltimore native.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_mrfrbx7qx\">The purists remain skeptical of Paul&#8217;s choice of opponents and claim that he cherry picks fights. Paul is only enjoying the naysayers as he continues to do what he wants. Paul said, &#8220;I love it, especially these types of fights. It just brings me alive. And just the entertainment value of it all, and the trolling and the training and the locking in, and just getting to entertain America is something that I think I was born to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Breaking: Jake Paul is set to face Gervonta &#8220;Tank&#8221; Davis at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA, the two sides confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The bout is set for Nov. 14.
