Atlanta to host Jake Paul-Tank Davis fight streaming on Netflix
The fight will be streamed globally on Netflix.
This showdown features Jake 'El Gallo de Dorado' Paul, ranked No. 14 by the World Boxing Association in the cruiserweight division, against the undefeated three-division champion Davis.
Paul rose to fame as an influencer on social media before starting his career in boxing. His exhibition with Mike Tyson, also on Netflix, became the most streamed live sporting event of all time.
Rules on time for rounds and wight were not immediately revealed.
Davis is the more seasoned boxer but fights at a weight class far below Paul. Paul weighed nearly 200 pounds in his last fight, while Davis weighed 133 pounds in his previous bout.
The event is organized by Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Paul, marking their third live event on Netflix within a year.

Additional information, including the co-main event and undercards, will be announced in the coming weeks.

Dalton Rosta responds to Fabian Edwards' PED accusations: 'Blame his sh*t-ass genetics'
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Dalton Rosta finds Fabian Edwards' PED claims amusing. Rosta (11-1) takes on Edwards (15-4) in the middleweight tournament finals Thursday at 2025 PFL World Tournament 10 from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Edwards called Rosta a "juicehead wrestler," but the American Top Team fighter says he's been drug tested an unusual number of times throughout his career and never tested positive. "Everybody thinks I'm on steroids," Rosta told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Tuesday. "Like I said, I don't even f*cking lift weights. I see videos of this guy lifting weights all the time. If I'm a body builder, and I take steroids because I look like this, and I don't lift weights, and he's lifting weights, and he looks like that? I just blame his sh*t-ass genetics or sh*t-ass work ethic. I've never taken a steroid a day in my life, and USADA can attest to that. They've been drug testing the hell out of me. "I went to South Africa for the PFL card down there, as soon as I land, I'm getting drug tested. I just got drug tested a week before that, and they drug test me before and after every fight. I've been drug tested by every commission too before USADA was around whenever I was with Bellator. Mike Mazzulli seems to love to drug test me because every time I fight in Connecticut or somewhere he's commissioning, I get drug tested. It's not random at this point. I don't want to make allegations like that, but at least it doesn't seem like it. I've never failed a drug test, and I think there's a reason why." Rosta then went off on former two-time title challenger Edwards, and plans on crushing his championship dreams. "This guy, he's a gatekeeper," Rosta said. "I told him before, I said to him, 'How does it feel in July to watch two men that beat the sh*t out of you – Johnny Eblen twice and Costello van Steenis once, fight for a title that you'll never touch?' Then I told him, 'I'll do you another favor, Thursday night I'll beat you, and then at the end of the year, you get to watch the same thing over again.' Two guys that beat you fight for a belt you're never going to f*cking touch." This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: Dalton Rosta responds to 'gatekeeper' Fabian Edwards' PED accusations
