Gervonta Davis and Jake Paul’s exhibition bout will be contested over 10 three-minute rounds and a winner will be declared, says Most Valuable Productions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian.<\/p>\n

The14 November bout was moved from Atlanta to Miami<\/a> last week after MVP, the promotions company founded by Paul and Bidarian, pulled out of efforts to get the fight sanctioned in Georgia.<\/p>\n

The fight is controversial because of the big weight disparity, with Davis a lightweight world champion, fighting at 9st 9lb (61kg), while Paul has fought most of his career at cruiserweight, which is 14st 4lb (90.7kg).<\/p>\n

Speaking at the first news conference, Bidarian said the Florida Athletic Commission (FAC) had agreed to several conditions, including that the maximum weight would be 13st 13lb (88kg).<\/p>\n

“There will be a victor because the fighters have agreed and the commission has approved a maximum weight of 195lb for this exhibition,” he said.<\/p>\n

“When Tank and Jake enter the squared circle to go to battle, they will be wearing 12oz gloves.<\/p>\n

“Sitting ringside will be three commission-approved world-class professional judges that will score every round to ensure there’s a decisive outcome for the fight if it goes the distance.<\/p>\n

“And both men are enrolled in the highest level of testing with Usada (US Anti-Doping Agency).”<\/p>\n

Davis wears 8oz gloves as a lightweight, while Paul often wears 10oz gloves in his fights.<\/p>\n

Paul, 28, has 12 wins and one loss on his professional record, while 30-year-old Davis has 30 victories and one draw.<\/p>\n

Both men hold professional licences but the result of the exhibition will not count towards their professional records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gervonta Davis and Jake Paul’s exhibition bout will be contested over 10 three-minute rounds and a winner will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-155157","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
