Initially, Paul had been in talks to take on Anthony Joshua, but contract talks have stalled. It is now being reported that Paul will instead face off against Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an exhibition match on November 15 in Atlanta.

With the big weight gap and exhibition rules in play, it’s clear this one’s about business and buzz as much as it is about pure fighting.

Paul recently announced another boxing match that will stream on Netflix, and UFC is leaving its PPV model for Paramount+
