According to the rules, the fight is set at a 195-pound catchweight, with 12-ounce gloves across 10 three-minute rounds. The matchup presents Davis with a unique risk. Should he lose due to the size disparity, it could cast another shadow over his career following the controversial knee incident in his last fight. Still, Davis seems resolute about walking away from boxing, even as the sport enters a golden era of massive paydays.

Earlier this year, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford split a staggering $200 million purse, with Canelo banking $150 million and Crawford $50 million. As Davis prepares to bow out, the only question remains: can he make his final appearance in the ring truly spectacular?

Shakur Stevenson predicts ‘Tank’ Davis vs. Jake Paul

Shakur Stevenson has weighed in on the upcoming Netflix exhibition between Gervonta Davis and Jake Paul, set for November 14. Speaking on The Ring Champs with AK & Barak, Stevenson questioned Davis’ decision to bypass a rematch with Lamont Roach Jr., following their majority draw in March.

“It just depends, like as a fighter, just because I had a draw with somebody, for me, I may run it back, but in a business aspect… if you lose to Lamont and then the Jake Paul fight is presented, you may not make as much money,” Stevenson explained. While he respects the business move, Stevenson noted, “As a man, your pride will get in the way.”

He suggested Davis doubts beating Roach again and is prioritizing money before retiring.

From the looks of it, Gervonta Davis has already packed his bags and is ready to board the retirement flight. But should anyone really be surprised? Many pro boxers take a Jake Paul-type fight as a final cash-out before stepping away from the sport. The question now is—what do you make of Davis’ decision?
