While the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, will see Jake Paul versus Gervonta Davis, the co-main event bout is capturing the attention of true aficionados of the sweet science. Paul vs. Davis transpires on Friday, November 14th, and will be streamed globally on Netflix.
In the co-main event of the night, undisputed super featherweight world champ Alycia Baumgardner aims to defend her unified crown. This unified WBA, WBO, and IBF world title defense at 130 pounds will go down against one of Canada’s top fighters.

When giving a prediction for the Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis headliner, Baumgardner quipped,

Firing off at any critics who may be doubting that women should be fighting under the same rules as men, Leila Beaudoin said,
“Come and fight.”

“They’re gonna see why we deserve to do three-minute rounds and why we belong here.”
Also offering up a prediction for the Jake Paul versus Gervonta Tank Davis showdown, Beaudoin quipped,
“Based on the height and the size, Jake Paul should win this. He should, but on the skill level, on boxing IQ, I feel like Tank should have it. It’s hard to say, but if I go with only the size, he should win.”
