Jake Paul’s exhibition fight against lightweight world champion Gervonta Davis has been cancelled, Most Valuable Promotions has announced.

The fight, scheduled for 14 November in Miami, was set to headline the Netflix-streamed event.

The decision comes days after a lawsuit was filed against Davis by his ex-girlfriend accusing him of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

After an investigation, MVP said the bout would “no longer be moving forward”.

“Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly,” Nakisa Bidarian, CEO and co-founder of MVP, said in a statement.

Responding to the news of the fight’s cancellation on X, Paul said working with Davis was “an absolute nightmare”.

“I’m so sorry to everyone involved,” said Paul, co-founder of MVP.

“Mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at MVP and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight.”
