Gervonta Davis v Jake Paul

[Master]

Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva will fight in a six-round heavyweight bout on the undercard of Jake Paul's exhibition bout against Gervonta Davis on 14 November in Miami, Most Valuable Promotions has announced.

Weidman, 41 and Silva, 50, fought in the UFC, with Weidman winning both their back-to-back encounters in 2013.

American fighter Weidman ended Silva's seven-year reign as UFC middleweight champion with his first win and both men have since retired from MMA.

Silva has competed in five boxing matches, losing two of those bouts.

The Brazilian, widely considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, last boxed in 2022 when he was beaten by Paul.

Weidman retired from the UFC in January, finishing his MMA career with 16 wins and eight losses, and will be competing in his first boxing fight.

Paul's exhibition bout with lightweight world champion Davis will be held at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

There are three world titles on the undercard, including Alycia Baumgardner's defence of her featherweght titles against Leila Beaudoin.

The event will be streamed by Netflix and is being promoted by Most Valuable Promotions, Paul's own company.

Gary Russell v Andy Hiraoka for the WBA 'Super' light-welterweight title is a good fight on the undercard.

Ryan Garcia is reportedly close to completing a deal to face Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title.

Both sides are working towards a date in the first quarter of 2026 in Las Vegas, in a blow to Jake Paul.

'The Problem Child' is seeking a replacement for his November 14 clash with Gervonta Davis after some harrowing accusations from the boxer's ex-girlfriend, including kidnapping and battery.

Garcia had been approached by Paul's representatives alongside ex-UFC stars Francis Ngannou and Nate Diaz.

However, Garcia's promoter, Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy, shut down the possibility of his client locking horns with Paul later this month.

"So I wake up to calls from reporters asking me about Jake Paul and Ryan Garcia," said De La Hoya on social media.

"Let me just tell you why this fight is not going to happen. Ryan Garcia fights for DAZN.

"And Jake Paul fights on Netflix. I mean, that's pretty much the bottom line.

"Golden Boy has a contract with DAZN. Ryan Garcia has a contract with Golden Boy. And that's just the way it is.

"I mean, this is business. Ryan's probably going to go around saying, 'Oh, you're keeping me from making money.'

"No, you have to go by the law, by the rules.

"You have a contract with DAZN. You have a contract with Golden Boy. It just doesn't happen that way,

There are still a few details to iron out before Garcia and Barrios can announce their fight.

The most pressing of these is getting the green light from the WBC.

Paul is reportedly keen to lure power-punching heavyweight Francis Ngannou back into the boxing ring.

Ngannou is primarily an MMA fighter, previously reigning as a UFC heavyweight champion, as well as holding the title in the PFL.

Although the Cameroon star is a more realistic option, given he has previously fought Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury in the squared circle.

Roy Jones Jr. blasts Jake Paul's fake outrage over Gervonta Davis fight falling apart

"I don't really want to have much to say about that because they're about to take it a bad way. All I'm going to say is this, Jake Paul knew what it was when he first signed to fight him. This ain't the first time he had battery against a woman," Jones told Fight Hub TV.

"He knew what it was when you first signed to fight him, so don't get mad and cuss him out and talk bad about him now. You knew what it was when you signed up it. Come on, bro. You know what I'm saying? Let's not do that," continued Jones.

"Don't do the dude like that. Know the dude is having a hard time in his life right now. Don't just do him like that. You know what I mean? Because you knew exactly what he was when you signed him to fight the first time."

"Don't do the dude like that. Know the dude is having a hard time in his life right now. Don't just do him like that. You know what I mean? Because you knew exactly what he was when you signed him to fight the first time."

I really wish this is true. AJ needs a warm up to build his confidence against a bum. This will end Jake career and circus. There should also be a good undercard too.

Win win for everyone.
