Why Jake vs. Tank Is Boxing’s Chaos Experiment and a Netflix Payday — but who would you bet on?

Picture this: Jake Paul, the six‑foot‑one social media firebrand at around 200 lb, squaring off with pound‑for‑pound terror Gervonta “Tank” Davis, a 5′5″, 135‑lb fighter from Baltimore. If you don’t know boxing, it’s like King Kong versus an elite ninja—heights and weights are wildly misaligned, but those lightning‑fast hands and icy ring IQ could tip the scales in Tank’s favor.

Critics are calling it a “freak show” and “disgusting.” Even Amir Khan’s throwing shade, warning about safety—and integrity—gone haywire.

Odds have Tank as a hefty –400 favorite, but Paul’s no joke—he’s racking up Netflix paydays and compares Tank’s risk to Mayweather‑McGregor levels.

Prediction? Tank’s speed, experience, and punch-for-punch savagery will likely overwhelm the size difference. We can see a Tank Davis by mid-round KO—because in boxing, brains and precision beat biceps and buzz.

But for netflix? The way it all went down? The timing. Jake’s history being the “under dog” makes it hard not to keep taking the dog. Ratings, don’t get knocked out, decision will be close enough to make any argument.

The fight is booked for Friday, November 14, 2025, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, and will be streamed globally on Netflix—available on all subscription plans.

A few sources have speculated that the date may fall on November 15, but the most consistently reported and widely confirmed date remains November 14.
