Jake Paul's highly anticipated exhibition fight against lightweight world champion Gervonta Davis has been cancelled, the pair had been scheduled to meet on November 14th in Miami. The bout was set to headline a Netflix-streamed event but Most Valuable Promotions announced that it would "no longer be moving forward" following an investigation into allegations of abuse made by Davis' ex-girlfriend.
According to the lawsuit complaint filed against Davis, he has a history of physical and emotional abuse towards his former partner Courtney Rossel. The court documents state that there were at least four previous incidents in which Davis physically assaulted and choked Rossel, as well as threats against her life.
