Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis argued fiercely during their press tour over glove weight for their November 14 exhibition fight.
Nakisa Bidarian announced the bout rules in New York: 195lbs limit, 12oz gloves, 10 three-minute rounds, three judges scoring.
Heated Exchanges Drive Change
Tank Davis’ trainer, Calvin Ford, questioned why Paul would use 12oz gloves instead of 10oz, citing a previous 8oz fight.
Paul fired back, offering to fight with 8oz, 4oz, 2oz, or even bareknuckle, challenging Davis to pick a number.
Davis rejected Paul’s claim that the 12oz originated from Paul’s side, sparking more debate over fan excitement and fairness.
Agreement Reached
The fighters agreed to switch gloves to 10oz, satisfying both camps and increasing the bout’s appeal to fans.
They also confirmed a $2 million side bet alongside the revised fight rules.
