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. This fight report has been provided by Mike Coppinger of Ring Magazine.

Joshua has not fought since September 2024, when he suffered a savage beatdown at the hands of Daniel Dubois. Although it has already been a year since that fight, he has not shown any inclination to return to the ring. The 35-year-old Joshua is now just 4-3 in his last seven fights and 6-4 since 2019.

Jake Paul seemingly looks set to return to the boxing ring in November against a world class fighter - but it won't be against Anthony Joshua
