MVP moves Jake Paul-Gervonta Davis Nov. 14 boxing match to Miami - ESPN

The Nov. 14 showdown between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis has relocated from Georgia to neighboring Florida, ESPN learned on Wednesday. The clash — which will be live streamed on Netflix — will now take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami after originally being slated for State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

«New city, same mission, seek and destroy the tank,» said Paul in a statement to ESPN. «Kaseya Center. Friday, November 14. I'm bringing the heat, and Miami will see me take down this angry elf while the world watches live on Netflix.»

«Jake Paul has been cherry picking in the sport of boxing for a while now, but he picked the wrong opponent this time,» Davis added in a statement. «He better start losing some weight, chasing some chickens, and pray that helps him some on fight night! Thank you to Netflix for giving me the opportunity to whoop this clown!»

The venue change comes on the heels of USA Today's report that Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, had withdrawn their request for event permits and rule waivers required to hold the event in Georgia. Rick Thompson, chairman of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission (GAEC), told USA Today that the promotional outfit was «promoting something they should not have been.»

A pair of news conferences set for Sept. 17 in New York and Sept. 18 in Atlanta have been rescheduled for Sept. 22 in New York and Sept. 23 in Miami.

«Unfortunately, we made the decision to withdraw the event from Georgia after several interviews conducted by Commissioner Rick Thompson, who seems to have a personal agenda, publicly misrepresenting the facts and undermining what was set to be a massive event for Atlanta, featuring multiple world championship bouts
