2<\/p>\n Paul outweighs Davis by over 60lbsCredit: Getty<\/p>\n Due to the considerable size disparity between the pair, the bout couldn’t be sanctioned as a professional contest.<\/p>\n Paul<\/a> is a natural cruiserweight (200lbs), while Davis<\/a> is the reigning WBA lightweight (135lbs) champion.<\/p>\n The fight is therefore taking place at a catchweight of 195lbs and will be classed as an exhibition bout.<\/p>\n Despite this, Paul insists the contest won’t resemble the average exhibition where knockouts tend to be avoided.<\/p>\n “I don’t know if I can say it, but there is going to be a big, big knockout bonus,” Paul told the DOUBL3 COVERAGE Podcast.<\/p>\n “So if someone knocks the other one out, they\u2019re gonna get a big, big bonus.”<\/p>\n What are the rules for Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis?<\/p>\n Besides the slightly larger 12oz gloves, the rest of the rules are indicative of a professional boxing match.<\/a><\/p>\n The bout will take place over 10 three-minute rounds, and while the result won’t show up on either man’s pro records, three judges will score the fight.<\/p>\n In a bizarre boxing first, the Florida State Athletic Commission has confirmed that one of the three officials will be AI-powered. <\/p>\n Saudi boxing chief\u00a0Turki Alalshikh has been trialling the concept on Riyadh Season shows over the last 12 months.<\/a><\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Here’s how Davis and Paul measure upCredit: talkSPORT<\/p>\n However, these AI scorecards were unofficial and never had any bearing on the result, like it will when Davis and Paul lock horns.<\/p>\n AI judging has come under fire from several preeminent voices since its implementation.<\/p>\n Tyson Fury<\/a> is one of its most vocal critics after being left incensed by an AI judge’s wide 118-112 scorecard<\/a>\u00a0for his rematch with\u00a0Oleksandr Usyk<\/a>\u00a0in December.<\/p>\n “S***. F*** all computers, keep humans,” he barked at the post-fight press conference.<\/p>\n “More jobs for human, less jobs for computers. F*** electric cars too.”<\/p>\n There was also widespread outrage when the AI judge submitted a perplexing 114-114 scorecard<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0Terence Crawford<\/a>‘s conclusive points win over\u00a0Canelo Alvarez<\/a>\u00a0in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul has confirmed that there will be a ‘large knockout bonus’ in play for his upcoming clash…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[15569,2560,6102,15283,21474,6566,6844,1781,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-215080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-bonus","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-date","tag-gervonta-davis","tag-jake-paul","tag-knockout","tag-rules","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215080","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=215080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Paul](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crop-3414198.jpg\")
